Tie me up...................

"How do I love my pretty neckties? Let me count their lovely stitches.
I love the way they lay just so, allowing my neck the privileges so often assumed by my lobes.
I love the dramatic ruffles on the one, and delicate french knots of the other.
How can I choose between them?
Whimsical or well heeled, my mood sets the stage..."
