Important news about Obamas Ties
He would often not even wear a tie rather just do that unbuttoned shirt thing. Then occasions arose where he had to wear a tie. For awhile it was a disaster. He only had like two ties, remember that? I do. I prayed nightly, "Dear God, please send your holy tie bearer to Barack Obama. He needs more ties!"

And now, though I refuse to post pics of his now successful tie collection because I'm going to go make a smoothie and don't feel like looking for them, I just wanted to make this post in honor of barack Obamas tie guy, wherever you may be, whoever you are, this ones for you.

1. He just looks good in clothes because he's skinny and tall.......
They can call him GQ all day long, but it really has to do with the fact that he has the body to carry just about anything off, and look good doing it.

My daughters are like that. Wearing size zero just means you can wear a dishtowel, and you'll look like a fashion icon! :)

2. Agreed. Cool ties are killer.
...and, if you can pull it off, cool suspenders.

Think David Hyde Pierce (Niles) on Frazier. Best collection of cool suspenders ever.

4. Yeah, especially when they get caught in the fanbelt.
I do have a tie, though.

Wore it once.

Hand-painted by a blind painter.

8. Ties aren't as much about being acceptedly stylish as they are about being different.
...at least, that's my philosophy.

3. He could have mine.
But I only have one, painted by the one and only Ginny Doyle, a great painter who has lost her sight.

So, on second thought, I suppose I will keep it.

Never mind.

7. I love his solid light blue tie.
Or should I say the way he looks while wearing it. :)

11. Well, it's a pretty good bet that the part of Obama...
won't be played by Wesley Snipes, anyway.
