Which do you prefer?

[Shopaholic]

[trof]

1. yuck. Repp stripe or paisley.

Only way for a gentleman to dress.

[Beaverhausen]

2. somebody please explain the tie thing to me

and please don't point me to that really long tie thread...I know the whole thing started somewhere else.

I feel so left out! :cry:

[Lavender Brown]

5. Birthday gift for this guy - i was confused too

[Beaverhausen]

7. you're kidding?

that's it?

edit: a tie? You can't think of anything more interesting?

[Lavender Brown]

9. I believe so.

Hehe. I was unaware of his DU fan base until today. :D

[Shopaholic]

13. Well, we're open to suggestions--

what do you have in mind????

[Beaverhausen]

16. Wrap a big bow on me and send me to him

I'll give him a present he won't soon forget!!! ;-)

[blondeatlast]

58. He, heh. I can...

ME!

[Cuban_Liberal]

3. #3--- not even close.

That's a beautiful tie.

:)

[da_chimperor]

4. Tie number 3, 2 and 1 are okay

number 4 though . . . ick.

[Shopaholic]

6. See, this is what we're looking for---input fro a diverse group

and what could be more diverse than the Lounge????

[Bronco69]

8. I have to admit I voted for number 2.

I love the way the colors blend on that tie. :-)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

71. I voted for #2 too.

I'm not sure how much my opinion on ties matters being a woman.

[no name no slogan]

10. 1 is classy, 2's loud but okay, 3 looks very Young Republican, and 4...

Is VERY COOL, IMHO. Of course, I like stuff that has patterns made up of very small goofy objects. :crazy:

[Clark2008]

37. That's why I don't like the gold one - too Republican. eom

[Shopaholic]

46. Shoot me. I'm a preppy at heart.

I was way too excited to walk through the department stores this past weekend and see that the new spring colors consist largely of pink and green.

[kick-ass-bob]

69. maybe with a white shirt,

but put it with a gold shirt and think of it...

that is cool.

[B Calm]

11. What is this, the Rush Limbaugh tie collection?

I voted for none of the above!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

12. #1 is the only one i'd remotely consider wearing

And that even gives me dry heaves.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. #2 is not a good color choice him.

I like the tie, but not on him.

#3 is beautiful.

#1 Would work on him but #3 is still much nicer.

[McKenzie]

15. The stripey ties need a volume control!

No 3 is quietly understated and those depicted in No 4 need a dark suit and a self-coloured shirt to work well.

[Dora]

17. UNFAIR POLL!!

Only one tie (#3) is shown in the context of being a tie, e.g. with shirt and jacket.

This is an unfair advantage over the other shirtless, jacketless ties, who must rely on their own simple tieness in order to compete.

I refuse to answer on these grounds.

[troubleinwinter]

18. Geez! We had ta use what pics were available to us from vendor sites.

Use yer imagination.

[AllyCat]

19. #4 I can hear Jimmy Buffett already n/t

[Debi]

20. Does Keith like Jimmy?

or margaritas? :beer:

[donheld]

21. Here

[bunny planet]

22. What happened to Patsy's Moschino with the little men on it. I like that

one alot. I voted for the gold #3 but I really don't like it all that much. It is way too conservative and looks like so many other ties. I think I'd like the parrots more in the pink. But still there were 3 ties from Patsy's original selection I don't see here.

I also like this one alot. Forget where I found it but I bookmarked it.

[Miami Liberal]

23. Oooh, I like that one bunny

Where's the link to the online store?

[bunny planet]

29. Here's the site. There are great Kenzo's too. Forgive me, I am terminally

artsy-fartsy.
http://www.tiedeals.com/duchamp/duchamp_v396a_blor.htm#

no sorry, on edit, this is not the site with the Kenzo ties.

[Miami Liberal]

34. I think it should be added to the choices we have to pick from

I like it better than my original pick which was #3. We know he loves striped ties and blue will bring out the color in his eyes (that part is for us). :)

[bunny planet]

36. Thank you Miami, I think it deserves a vote too. It's a snarkier stripe.

[bear425]

61. I really like this tie, but I don't believe it will work on teevee.

Do you think it won't do that horrible flashy thing?

[bunny planet]

24. With a charcoal shirt and a dark gray or black suit, or a blue shirt.

Yum!

[Patsy Stone]

43. I like it bunny. I gotta go home now

see you later if we have a thread. It looks like a lot of us can't make it. It would also serve all the snoops at QT and Countdown right if we didn't have one today! :evilgrin:

[bunny planet]

50. I can't make it either. My kids have hijacked the tv for American Idol.

:puke: (although I do love Fantasia)

[Shopaholic]

53. I will also probably be AWOL tonight due to prior committments

Hmmm--might be interesting to see how KO likes it without his nightly fan gatherng. :evilgrin: BTW--we've got our weekly blog up now--it's new--short, but new.

[crispini]

54. Wait, what blog? nt

[bunny planet]

56. what weekly blog?

Please point the bunny in the right direction.

[Patsy Stone]

55. Taping American Idol

[troubleinwinter]

48. It is beautiful! For 'real life'...

think it may not show up well on TV? Gosh, it's pretty, though.

[Patsy Stone]

25. Blue Parrot or Moschino w/little men

[bunny planet]

30. the blue parrot is better than the red one. What does the pink one look

like up close. Linky.

Still love those snarky little guys. I think they have Keef's eyebrows!

[Shopaholic]

52. My Bad--I meant to point out the Parrot tie in Blue and just plain

forgot to add the Little Men tie.

[seito]

62. I like those little guys :)

[Freebird12004]

26. where are you going to wear it?

some ties are more fun and need to go out, while others are strictly office wear.

[bunny planet]

27. He's going to wear it on air so all of us at home can squeal and jump up

and down like the besotted teenagers we are, of course.

[Mass_Liberal]

28. my philosophy

if it ain't a Jerry Garcia tie, it ain't worth wearin.

[bunny planet]

51. I'm sure Al Franken has cornered the market on Jerry Garcia ties.

[Renew Deal]

31. 3, but I don't like those colors.

[bettyellen]

32. I voted, and I believe it actually counted, but.......

what is up with the quick topics stuff on the other thread? i have no idea what you guys were talking about!
and the panic room??? you guys are making this stuff up, aren't you?
:scared:

[crispini]

33. The panic room? i must have missed that post.

it's a yahoogroup called "DUPanicRoom" for us to hang out in when DU goes down.

And the Quick Topic posts are real, too, apparently they've got a "source" who posts their occasionally, heh.

[bettyellen]

39. tks crispi!! what is quick topics? a forum, a thread? a post?

are they on yahoo also?
oh, i have to find the yahoo room now.....

[crispini]

41. It's a forum ... I don't have the links handy

-- just cleaned out my bookmarks and now I can't find it -- but you could probably google it.

[bettyellen]

40. easy to miss in a 300+ post thread!

i can't believe i missed that thread for so long!

[maveric]

35. 1, 2 &4 are abominations only worn with a plaid or checkered jacket.

Like the ones a roller skating chimp might wear.

[bunny planet]

38. I agree mostly. The parrots are cute but a little too 'Margueritaville'

for Keef.

[Patsy Stone]

44. From far away, no one will have any idea what they are.

Only we will know. :)

[bunny planet]

49. this is true.

[troubleinwinter]

45. Here's what the chimp is wearing

[DemReadingDU]

57. Too funny! n/t

[tjdee]

42. Moschino's little men...or bunnyplanet's stripe...or....number 3...

Of the picks I go with 3 (since when does nice mean Republican?).

But I do like the subversive nature LOL of the little men on a tie.

And I think that's a cute stripe, in bunnyplanet's post, if indeed he likes stripes. I don't really dig stripes but like that.

I do like #3. Looks bold and classy.

[Shopaholic]

47. Changing my vote--I like the Striped tie that Bunny posted.

And I don't like striped ties as a rule so that's quite a compliment that I even like it!

[sparky_in_ma]

59. #3 with #2 a close second

[Catchawave]

60. # 1 - I love blue ! -nt

[last_texas_dem]

63. Tie #2

That's interesting #3 is running away with it; I tend to have different taste than most people, though

[gkhouston]

64. #3, or possibly #2

Bunny's striped tie is attractive but not for TV, IMHO, and the parrots... no. Nice as a joke, but not professional, even though you wouldn't be able to tell on-camera. Yes, he's snarky, but that doesn't mean he's unprofessional. 'Sides, I don't believe I've seen Keith in a red tie (orange yes, red no) so he may not like red. The blue parrot tie isn't that attractive a shade of blue, either.

Frankly, I think #3's a little on the boring side (as Patsy knows, I think it says, "Welcome to the Marriott"), but it's a safe, attractive choice that would look nice with his coloring and his dark suits. #2 is a little too orange for my personal comfort but he does wear orange ties (not quite *that* orange), so it would probably be okay, too.

G.

[crispini]

66. OK, ladies, we have to make up our minds.

I suggest we set ourselves a deadline (of tomorrow) and decide if we are going to abide by the results of the poll itself or go in a different, tantalizing direction. I must confess, seeing as KO has worn orange ties two nights in a row, that I am thinking about the orange myself now... hmm....

[RevCheesehead]

67. Orange - Orange - Orange!!!

#3 is nice, but yes, too Republican, IMO. And didn't someone write "it says to me 'Welcome to the Mariott'?"

Plus, we gotta pay attention to KO himself. ORANGE!!!

[seito]

70. I would go along with that :)...orange

[baldguy]

65. No floral phallic neck flags for me, thank you.

[no name no slogan]

72. Think of it as an arrow, pointing to...

Oh, nevermind.

[Catchawave]

68. May I offer a $mall contribution?

Can't find the thread discussing this and would be more than happy to help offset some of the expense :) Just a small token of my appreciation for Keefie:loveya:
