A TIE O’ THE DAY “Boo” Post Tradition

[From Halloween season, 2017.]

Bow Tie o’ the Day loves word-play as much as I do. We tend to create clever, silly costumery instead of scary outfits. When our troops were knee-deep in Iraq in the 2000’s, I wore this costume for a Halloween or two. The phrase “The War in Iraq” was omni-present on tv and radio then. To create this party get-up, I simply morphed that phrase into THE WAR IN MY RACK costume. (Note: This is not any kind of political commentary, although my heart is always with our troops.)

BTW Ancient birthday salutations on this 30th of October to my niece, Mimi Tucker, who is my Mini-me—my doppelgänger. You’re yet another tough ol’ Wright broad, following a famous/infamous tradition. We love yer feisty, funny guts, Amanda Jo!

The Word Is “Wearable”

Tie o’ the Day and I will wear anything (almost) at any time (almost). It’s sort of my job to do so. The clashier, the better. The more you-can’t-look-away-even-though-it-kinda-freaks-out-your-eyes, the better. I know I’m dressed like my true self if my attire incites at least one of two things: a chuckle, and/or a conversation—even if the conversation is with yourself. I am ecstatic when both goals are met in a tblog post, simultaneously. That’s why I make the bigly bucks, folks. I am really just a very uncomplicated, complicated chick with a brimming Tie Room.
