An Appearance By David Gregory

* This cravat is the more palatable version of the hallucinogenic Byzantine mosaic tie. Feeling a bit whimsical, I might describe it as turquoise jacks tossed upon a piece of toast (no crusts and in the shape of a tie) spread with currant jam.

But, in a first for The Tie Report, I must make an aside here to compliment one David Gregory, Washington correspondent, who was nothing less than resplendent in his carnation pink solid cravat. It is a thing of beauty to see a man confidently wear pink, especially a man who is tall, tanned, and impeccably groomed, as is DG. Well played, sir, well played.
