Fu@king awesome! Thanks for including me, Alex - an honor and a thrill. My only disappointment: discovering you were wearing underwear under the ties - but understandable given the public setting. ;)

wellllllll..... my plan was to be naked behind the ties. with perhaps something sticking out. but I considerd that wd be too big a distraction.

What a fantastic way to start my Sunday, and the last day of January.

This was effortless to read and absorbing. The stories of the ties and then the incredibly different photographs of the men. I wanted many more ties and pages. My favorite ties was the yard sale find from 1940s (of course), but I had some favorites among the fellas, too. One photo was playful, the next one intense and searching.

I loved it, Alex, and so blown away that you would include me. Thanks!

Alex, thanks for going through with this. I like the book very much! Though, judging by what the other guys did, I should have knotted my tie a little bit, well, tighter. Must have been the California bohemian acting out again. Cheers my friend.

What a fun and brilliant way to share your history and make some new...as well as a survey on male tie-one-on adaptations. I am delighted to have been part of it - and to be among other friends Tom Meyer, Jim Cory, and CA Conrad - and you in your tie-rageousness.
