Khloe Kardashian Is Pissed That Amy Schumer Made Fun Of Her Weight Loss

To be blunt about it–to knot together a tidy truth about neckwear–there are three types of bow tie guys in this world: The absolutists, who proudly wear nothing but bow ties; the innocents, who know not how to tie one; and the dabblers, some of whom are out to play now.

These dabblers sport bow ties at horse race, springtime outdoor bridals, garden parties, and other festive occasions, where they contribute to the atmosphere with these antique decorations. In Manhattan, they are a male rite of the springtime street scene. It is natural law: In some neighborhoods, the month of May brings out playboys idling in convertible Jaguars. In others, bow ties migrate onto collars like a kaleidoscope of butterflies. You always assure them worn with pride–strong pride, because the bow tie evokes strong feelings.

Why is the bow tie such a polarizing piece of cloth? My theory is that it exposes all male neckwear–even the cravat of option for Croatian mercenaries in the 1600 s–to be ornamental ribbons.

The choicest bow tie district in Manhattan is Madison Avenue in the 40 s, with its foot traffic to and from Grand Central, Brooks Brothers, and many fiscal and legal organizations. Recently, on a warm afternoon, I spotted got a couple of madras bow ties worn with nifty seersucker jackets, got a couple of striped ones paired with blue blazers, and a polka-dotted blue one matched with a good, dark suit in the Winston Churchill style.

I was taking this all in while strolling to the Tie Bar, which just opened a six-month pop-up on this stretching of Madison, to fulfill Chief Executive Officer Allyson Lewis. She reported that the bow tie business, after years of robust growth,” has plateaued .” Five or 10 years ago, when pro athletes were normalizing the bow tie at post-game interviews and s Bertram Cooper was devoting them a dapper boost, a lot more men began dabbling. As Lewis said,” Guys were like,’ It& apos; s OK! A bow tie doesn& apos; t have to be professorial !'” Having expanded its niche, it now is settled in.

But not all is quiet on the bow-tie front. On the contrary, they are everywhere in the news–from the collar of Bill Nye at climate-change events to the neck of a canine in first class. They are, also, everywhere the news, beneath the talking head of George Will and all around the aura of Tucker Carlson, who used to be a Bow Tie Absolutist but recanted.” People despise you when you wear a bow tie ,” he has said.( You can take the son out of the bow tie, but you can’t take it out of his personality .)

wearing and buying them for socially conscious intents through the Tie the Knot foundation.

These organisations support causes to which I would gladly donate. Still, I wonder: How much money do I need to pledge to get them to leave bow ties out of it? Their good purposes may reshape the garment’s meaning in the direction of kitsch, pushing it toward the stunt-y neckwear equivalent of a Movember moustache.

That’s the potential future. For now, take a look at the state of things on the bow tie plateau. Clothiers keep furnishing traditional absolutists with traditional styles: The bow tie is the official sponsor of black-tie events, after all. Tradition weighs heavy.

Sub-tweets are for tweens.

Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter Sunday afternoon in response to Amy Schumer’s monologue on SNL. Schumer took a stab at Khloe’s weight loss( nothing crazy, just mentioned that Khloe”lost a Kendall” since she dropped 35 lbs .) to which Khloe responded 😛 TAGEND

As a side note – you have to agree with Schumer’s point on that Kardashian’s desire to change their appearance – “Is that a great role model for little girls? A household of women that take the face they were born with, as like, a light suggestion? ” I entail, look at Kylie. Not the same girl she was a few years ago, but slaying the style game.

Yes, Khloe , no one likes being made fun of, but you should be used to it at this point. Your household has been in the media for decades. Your subtweets aren’t helping your occurrence, you only look like a 14 -year-old trying to out-rank the class betch.

Amy did apologize in a Tweet, so we can all go back to being strong, independent betches now.
