How to Tie A Tie: the most asked question online in 2010. Do we need to ask Wikileaks to Spill the Beans?

Tom Keene, financial wiz and the star of the "Surveillance" show on the Bloomberg network, certainly loves his bow ties and his pinstripes.  There are many occupations that seem to have a higher percentage of bow tie wearers.  Some of these include news reporters and anchors, architects, politicians, clowns and other intellectuals.  Coincidentally, the most asked question on the world wide web for 2010 is: How do I tie a tie?  What's up guys?  Why so secretive? Perhaps we need to use Wikileaks to get the word out? 

We bet Tim Gunn appreciates Tom Keene's keen take on suit and tie choices.  We've got Keene on our Surveillance, our fashion surveillance, that is.

Italians and Advertising: Subliminal, Subconscious, Subversive, Sublime, Seductive

This advert for Tods is so seriously Italian! Subliminal, Subconscious, Subversive, Sublime, Seductive and all at the same time. Just like Donatella! "We" probably don't know who these guys are, what they have in common or do for a living, why they are together or what the connection is to the shoes, especially the desert boots, which Barbara and Phoebe vlogged about a couple of months ago. All "we" know is that they have nice teeth, nice suits and are having a grand time. Makes you want to rush right out, be Italian, put your pinstripes on and buy some shoes.

Italian Men and Dogs

Barbara knows a few things about training men. See: "Train Men Like Dogs: In a Good Way" for more specifics. The Italian Designer Moncler, a man, designed these Bow WOW! jackets for canines. Up in the Italian Alps, the dogs need to learn how to bring a hot-toddy to their master/mistress/dominatrix. Maybe that is what that pocket is for. Maybe that is why some of them are licking their dog lips. Moncler makes some nice down coats for human people as well.
