100 Days, 100 Ties

Ain’t we lucky we got ’em? Good times.

Dy-No-Mite, sheriff!

Yes, we are lucky we have got them. JJ Evans sure was lucky to find good times in the Chicago projects of the 70s, as were his loving family: James, Sr., Michael, Thelma and Florida. No, no, not the whole state of Florida, that was JJ’s mom in ‘Good Times.’ But JJ was lucky because he had a catch word: Dy-No-Mite! And now, he (Jimmy Walker) is dating Ann Coulter, or at least he is according to multiple pictures on google. Go figure. Chicks dig Guys With Ties, I guess.

And so, on to the Tie du Jour. It’s another gift tie, from my very good friend Janet (yes, she of the secret Valentine’s Day series of presents), and it’s another beauty. From Shore & Singer, it’s the perfect mix of purple and green, and it–with my shirt and pocket square (okay, it’s a scarf!)–got a lot of compliments at our Business After Hours (held at the new Asha Salon Spa in Evanston).

We have a new GWT…it’s Jim Konrad, who heads the procurement division for Northwestern. Perhaps he could tell me where he procured his very cool, thin (is in!) tie.

Wanted to give a shout-out to Kim Castiglia, who let me know about SolidColorNeckTies.com, who also operate out of Illinois. Their site has some fun stuff on it, including Kentucky Colonel ties.

Thanks for reading…Brooke
