Following up yesterday's tie was a daunting task; even a great tie might seem dull in comparison. Clearly, my only available course of action was to go to the Permanent Collection and pull out a previously-worn but as-yet-unblogged All-Time Favorite. This is one of the CD-logo-embazoned polyester Christian Dior Monsieur ties I mentioned in passing last month. Every tie in that line that I've seen has a fantastic design, super-rich colors, and a complex jacquard weave providing a counterpoint to the print. Since I was raving about overlaps yesterday, this tie is a natural continuation of that theme: a melange of ovals, each with its own interior pattern, overlapping each other to create intricate new patterns in their intersections. Again, this tie provided a pick-me-up all day long, and is now tied with yesterday's tie for my favorite tie on the blog. I won't even try to match this level of exuberance on Monday; I'll use the weekend as a cooling-off period and start next week with a clean slate.For some fun computer-generated geometric graphics, many of which are eminently suitable for neckties, here's a new link to Levitated.net (previously linked from my Verner Panton tie entry).

HI Burl: I hope you can help me. About a year ago, I saw a photograph of a women's dress made completely out of men's ties. The ties were used in full length, the bodice being the narrow section, with the tie ends making up a flared skirt. I tried "google-ing" it this morning and came up empty. Perhaps you have an idea of where I can see a picture of this dress? Thanks for your help.

Cynthia, I found a dress by trinity-lea at deviantART.com that seems to fit the bill: http://www.deviantart.com/view/26419559/

Polyester (aka Terylene) is a category of polymers which contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Although there are many forms of polyesters, the term "polyester" is most commonly used to refer to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Other forms of polyester include naturally occurring cutin of plant cuticles as well as synthetic polyesters such as polycarbonate and polybutyrate.
Polyester may be produced in numerous forms. sportsbook For example, polyester as a thermoplastic may be heated and processed into different forms, e.g., fibers, sheets, and three-dimensional shapes. While combustible at high temperatures, polyester tends to shrink away from flames and often self-extinguishes.
