the apparition of these faces in the crowd

Thanks to Whitney Friddle for this hideous yet poetic piece. A Mervyns classic.


In case you were aching for a closeup.

two for Tuesday's graduation

A new tie this year, compliments of senior Mikaela Cox. Worn during the day of Capital's graduation.


Another newbie, this from Jill Mauerman, and worn during the ceremony.

Thursday's banderole flies for freedom.

two ties, one low price
