Phallic symbol? Mark of corporate oppression? Men were tying cloth around their necks at least as far back as the Thirty Years War in 1618. But what can I say that Wikipedia hasn't already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necktie. Some thoughts:
- Whether lawyer, banker, rocker, spy or hipster, ties can be sexy.
- The act of tying a man's necktie for him is impressive and sweet.
- Unless you're Orville Redenbacher or Peewee Herman, wearing a crazy bowtie on a regular basis is douchey.
- Colonel Sanders wore what is known as a string tie, or a bow tie with long strings once popular in the southeastern United States.
- The weeks leading up to Father's Day are the busiest time for tie shoppers.
- A tie is a subtle way to reflect your style, personality and mood.
- With the decline of formal dress, tying necktie knots is a dying art.

Hey Christina, I saw your review of DJ's catering on Yelp and saw that you got married at Camarillo Ranch. My fiance and I are seriously looking into getting married there and I thought I would enlist in your feedback. Please email me back jenncintron82@yahoo.com
