So, I’m thinking of wearing a tie out this Pride Weekend. I don’t usually wear ties, though I love them. As a kid, playing dress up with my dad’s old disguared ties was one of my most favorite games. (Seriously, how did I not know earlier?) But as an adult I haven’t ventured out in them too much for a number of reasons. My workplace is pretty casual. I’m not actually all that butch. I’m absolute rubbish at tying them. And, well, it can be a little stereotypical (I know, I know – big gay watch, big gay thumb ring, big gay chunky belt already). But this year I’m just really feeling the allure of a beautiful cravate. Naturally, I turn to my ladies of the gender fuck for inspiration. My, what lovely inspiration it is.Annie Lennox
Watch and learn, children, watch and learn
Marion Cotillard
She makes me want to be a better woman in men’s clothes.
Anne Hathaway
This photo proves that Anne needs to play gay in a movie immediately, if not sooner.
Karolina Kurkova
I don’t usually feature models (let alone two, with Miranda Kerr above), but I was helpless against the killer lip bite and loose tie combination.
Kate Moennig
Can’t explain the hair or the gloves. But I do love the tie.
Beyoncé
I just like how she’s always leaning. Against stuff. She leans great
Selma Blair
If this was a “No Shirt, No Hands Down Pants, No Service” establishment, Selma would be in big trouble.
Lucille Ball
The real reason we loved Lucy.

The real reason we loved Lucy.There, now don’t you feel all inspired? Now the only question left is which knot to use. And when, exactly, to loosen it.

Oh, man. That Lucille Ball one is first class! High five!
And what about a bow tie? Such a hot look.
Nice article, hmmm and pics:)
Lucille wins, hands down. Miranda made a nice attempt, though.
Hawt!
I recently came across not only 1 of the ties from my childhood, but the tie clips my father gave me to go with them....and I wonder how we all didn't know right then. But then again, he never ever blinked an eye at the announcement later on, lol.
now that you mentioned it, I loved playing with my father's ties as well...
it just clicked now. damn. how did I not realize that?
Yes, I am inspired. I'll wear my skinny black tie to NYC Pride this weekend. Thanks for the photos!
Thanks for these awesome pics! I actually posted on ties super recently and thought you might find it useful: http://www.butchwonders.com/1/post/2011/06/all-tied-up.html
And all of those pictures went to the "hotties" folder of my computer. Specially the Hathaway one
Annie Lennox - that's one classy dame. Love, love, love a good tie!

Something just clicked in my head!
it´s just me or in that picture Kate Moennig seems like Edward Scissorhands? No malicious code implied!
Gorgeous photos!
That photo of Annie Lennox, though...
She looks so much like my mother there, it's startling. (And my mother wore suits like a boss, so it was doubly striking.)
Thank you for such a great post!
