my favorite pair of silk ties

Somehow I missed noticing when my 200th post (??!!!) here slipped by, but oh well...here's something fun to celebrate (?) #300. ;-) :-)

Despite the fact that I generally detest and thus actively avoid situations where I actually have to wear a necktie for any reason whatsoever, I still have a few of 'em. These two are my favorites of the small bunch. Both are tagged as Chinese made silk, featuring patterns of handsomely arranged generally red/blue or gold/blue recurring small squares, in both cases with matching smaller light blue "oval shapes" within. Either one has proved to be very easy, as matter of fact, to successfully match with whatever other dress clothes might be required for any odd formal social occasion. Both were gifts to me from a friend maybe ~10yrs ago (?) who at the time worked at a local hospital clinic. Right abouts the same time, as matter of fact, that a certain now rather infamous 'little blue pill' for "men's health" made its debut...?? ;-) ;-) :-) :-)

I'll leave it to y'all (with the last 2 pics showing their "manufacturer's label") to fill in the blanks and otherwise explain why I can't help but to enjoy them so much...? <giggle><wink, wink>
