Why do I wear a bow tie?

I wear a bow tie because I don't know how to tie a tie . You don't even have to undo it three times to get the length right. I don't know how to tie a bow either, and that's why I love butterfly bow ties . I wear a bow tie because I like how it matches my beard. Soul hispter, can. I wear a bow tie because the eleventh Doctor Who wore a bow tie . I also think they're cool.

My first bow tie was a burgundy bow tie, a gift from Vicenç, I seem to remember it was for a New Year's Eve party. Although my favorite is one that David gave me last Christmas. It's a deep sky blue with a Prince of Wales print.

The first times I wore a bow tie I noticed the stares, it was years ago and they were still not as common as now. At the first family celebration with her I was the victim of my uncle's jokes, the funny one. But the bow tie has ended up being part of my personality , when I go to get ready I like to go to the drawer and select the one that matches best. Or choose my look in relation to the bow tie I want to wear.
