On Pink
This cravat is a classic for Brian. He has been wearing it for years and years, and while I like it just fine, I am tired of seeing it worn to the exclusion of many other lovely ties he wears much less frequently. The main colour is a deep midnight blue, and the slim stripes are pale pink--not a warm, baby pink--a blue-toned carnation pink, widely spaced. I immediately applaud men in pink, no matter how scant its appearance. More men ought to wear it, and more often. Here we are, in a whole new millennium, and so many people still see pink as a "Girl's Colour." How utterly ridiculous. Women wear blue with impunity. Shall we all just get over it? Let's do, and quickly.
