Tie Day: Best Week Ever
I hope it doesn't sound odd to say that John Kerry's speech on what a disaster Afghanistan has become kicked off my favorite tie week so far. Look at JK, THK, and Gary Hart after the speech. Look how happy they are!
In addition to the fun at Fanueil Hall, The Examiner and Ron Chusid of Liberal Values have made the Case for Kerry 2008, which, though I've always onboard for that, is always nice to read, and yesterday I got to have something not entirely unlike a conversation with the Senator about mideterm elections.
It's been a good week. And that's before the ties.
The Tie: Solid, textured, light blue. I love this tie. I'm sort of obsessed with this tie. Senator Kerry wore it to the Senate in July, but was not photographed wearing it. So it's existed in my memory of a C-SPAN 2 broadcast, and has been haunting me for about two months, which is a lifetime in the blogosphere. And then, there's The Bonus Tie: Senator Gary Hart, who made remarks on Saturday preceding the Senator's, hit the patriotic stripes pretty
hard. I think Senator Hart was wearing Ralph Lauren polo players all over his tie on The Daily Show this week. If anyone wanted to start welovegaryhart.com, I think Tie Day would be a VERY different animal.
The Maker: This knowledge is possibly not meant for mere mortals. But What we Really Want to Know Is: who made Teresa's suit? Isn't it genius? Of course, she's so gorgeous to begin with, it's almost unfair when she looks even better than usual, so on behalf of those of us who would like to be able to look that smokin' on a Saturday morning, I shall have to look into this.
The Occasion: A speech at Faneuil Hall, obviously. And, as I mentioned, it made an appearance in the Chamber. I can see this working as a good day-to-evening tie.
Stupid Democrafty Nickname for This Tie: Best Tie Ever. What else?
What you need to do: Buy one for your husband. Now. Oh, and raise some hell about the mismanagement of War on Terror - that one's direct from the Senator.
If you see the Senator wearing this tie: Resist the urge to 1) faint 2) tear into it like the Tiffany box it sort of resembles 3) steal it for your husband 4) all of the above.
What we think Tim Gunn would say: The Big Gunn may have weighed in already, as this tie is so perfect, we can't be sure that America's Best-Dressed Professor didn't actually select this for America's Best-Dressed Senator.

That is an awesome tie! The Senator must be proud. And if I look half as good as Teresa when I'm her age, I will be very happy. The woman is simply stunning.
If (or maybe when) JK runs for president again, I'm so getting the John Kerry is a rockstar shirt. I almost brought one the first time but my friend (another major JK fan) talked me out of it. :*(
If (maybe when) JK runs for President again, I'm getting the shirt with John Kerry's head and the "sex machine" caption.
I may also make t-shirts with some kind of "groupie" theme. I normally try to be polite about the Kerrylove, but elections are no time to be subtle.
The same friend who talk me out of buying the rockstar tshirt wanted to make a shirt that said "John Kerry is my boyfriend… just don't tell Teresa." I love my friends.
That's genius!!!
A friend also claims to have seen "Hot Chicks Dig John Kerry" shirts for sale somewhere, but I was never able to find one online.
Sigh! So many projects, and me with just one torso…
I have a shirt that has a picture of his face and the word SEXY! beneath it. I still wear it and when he runs again you bet I'll wear it at least once a week.
I remember those shirts!! They were awesome! They sold out out in my size, though, and I never got one!
