Mark Sainsbury's Ties

I was meaning to write a blog on this for quiete a while now.
So here goes:

Mark Sainsbury is the host of current affairs programme “Close Up” on TVNZ’s TVOne. He was awarded New Zealand's best news and current affairs presenter at the 2007 Qantas Television Awards.* Now, to the point. It is important to know that I am no fashion diva, like those gals on Sex and the City (I wish I had tht many shoes and three hundred costumes for one movie!!!), but do have a generally good taste. That is to say that I would say that Sainsbury's stylist/costume designer must be fired promptly. A neuro green tie, come on!! It makes him look like a) a clown; b) a psycho; c) all of the above. It is widely known, or at least to those of us priveleged with such knowledge that when you look at a man you don't want to stare at his tie because it is so unmatched to the rest of what he is wearing that your eyes are painfully drawn to it. In fact, a man must wear a tie that is so well picked that you can't even recollect it. When that happens, you know that man, or whoever dressed him, knows a thing or two about ties. Another tip: Iron it and tie it properly. Go the extra mile past the two dollar store to a proper shop and purchase a slightly more expensive yet stylish and smart tie. It will do wonders. Avoid buying the mickey-mouse print---you are a middle aged man with children, the fact that you take pride in a little children's cartoon makes you seem even more immature. And your high degree of manliness will not be lowered if you think twice--even three times before putting on a tie. Instead you will find women flocking to cling to your arm and stare at you instead of your clown tie. After all, your face is up there.
