I'm not a very serious person so I wanted this tie exchange thing to be kind of fun. I was sent this custom made Star Wars bow tie from my gifter and it's perfect. Never having worn a bow tie before I wish I could say that I just looked up how to tie it and posted this gift as soon as I received it. I'd like to pretend that it didn't take me a week of tying it in the mirror before I finally came through with a decent finished product. Now that I know how to tie it though, I feel like a doofus for not being able to do it. Thanks again, gifter. This will get plenty of use.
