For ways to fill time, and since I - along with many - were consuming so much news during the early days of the pandemic, I decided tie commentary would be my jam.
 2021 01 22 I'm enjoying that tie and shirt combo. |
 2021 02 01 Today's tie is a little casual-pyjama-pant-mixed-with-tablecloth-and-70s-leisure-suit. That is a very curious colour combo, sir. |
|
 2021 02 06 I have fewer questions about a bow tie on morning news than I do about dress shirts with a collar a different colour than the shirt. I never understood that. |
 2021 04 18 I'll just let that one speak for itself. It should reach everyone, no matter how far back in the room they are. |
|
 2021 04 27 Monsieur, that is quite the bold pairing of tie and jacket. I applaud your audacious choice. |
 2021 04 30 I'm dying to know what's on that tie, but pairing it with a striped shirt is top shelf. |
|
 2021 08 13 That's very upscale grandpa, John. Applause, applause. |
 2021 08 16 Clan Grape Ape? |
 |
 2021 08 17 I don't know. Jackson Pollock or carnival candy? |
 2021 08 17 That looks like a skirt I might have had in the '80s. |
|
 2021 08 19 I think I had a skirt like that in the '80s too. |
 2021 08 22 He's doing that shirt again. Still, though, a bold pairing, sir. Lots of purple ties this week. |
|
 2021 08 23 Dr. Strang sporting the Mickey Mouse. I applaud his option, despite how much I DGAFF about Disney. Go, Dr. Strang! |
 2021 08 24 Rockin' the electric kool aid acid test paisley, sir. De-lovely. |
|
 2021 08 28 It's been a slow week for ties. I'm not sure what's going on there, flower power or amoeba on a slide. |
 2021 08 29 Natasha, that's very college professor. I like it. |
|
 2021 09 01 There's been a lot of crazy plaid ties. That one there is ... large. |
 2022 01 24 A bold plaid paired with a subtle suit weave. Brave, sir. Brave. I wish to know if it went further, expanding into Argyle socks territory. |
|
 2022 02 22 I feel like I've highlighted this one before. But a tie is a tie. I'm not sure what's going on here - paisley, amoeba, or Ferris wheel on an acid trip. |
 2022 02 07 What on this earth has he done to that knot? |
|
 2022 02 10 That's a wild ride, honourable member. A wild ride. |
 2022 02 12 That's one of the best uses of orange ever, honourable member. I'm digging the fleurs. |
|
 2022 02 15 I'm fixated on the pocket square that does not quite match. But I guess it would be a little difficult to match that tie. |
 2022 02 16 That one speaks for itself ... with a shout ... from the back of the room. |
|
 2022 02 17 There's got to be an official name for that thing. I don't know why I haven't done this one before, being the Rota fangirl that I am. (Update: 2025 02 23: No longer a fangirl.) |
 2022 02 20 Pantone paint chip samples. |
|
 2022 02 22 A twofer! I'm digging Monet wildflowers on the right, and '70s hot pepper paisley on the left. |
 2022 02 28 You go, anonymous minister. |
|
2022 03 02 It's green. 'Nuff said. |
 2022 03 03 I feel as if were Hallowe'en candy corn a tie ... |

 2022 04 04 He was standing up to applaud the member in front of him. That there is one relentless shade of orange, good sir. Even blurred it's still an onslaught. |
 2022 04 13 I swear I saw wallpaper like that in the background of an episode of Caged Women. |
|
 2022 04 15 Early '90s cop show triffid tie. |
 2022 04 15 At least we know what happened to the scraps when they re-upholstered grandma's couch. |
|
 2022 04 18 o/~ MC Escher, the impossible haberdasher o/~ |
 2022 04 30 Lenny, you're not supposed to get your ties from the carpet cast-offs. |
|
 2022 05 13 It's like Hallowe'en meets grandma's kitchen table. |
 2022 09 11 I haven't done one of these in quite some time. It's not a particularly exciting tie today, but Ian's tie is looking especially shiny. Look at the glow on that thing. |
|
 2022 12 20 You can't go wrong with the sassy classic paisley floral. Someone needs to serve him a cake with that design in a nice fondant. Also suitable for bedroom curtains and Georgia O'Keefe vaginal petals. |
 2022 02 14 Jason bringing the fleurs in honour of the day. It's very mumu though - when your house dress matches the wallpaper as a 1970s sitcom housewife. |
