Justin Timberlake and the silk Necktie Economy

By Dean P. Johnson

Timothy Geithner needs to take a lesson from Justin Timberlake.  No, not simply because Timberlake was recently named the most stylish man in America by GQ Magazine; although that in itself is not a bad reason.  I often try to follow Justin’s lead by wearing my pimp kicks and fly duds much to the chagrin of my fourteen year old daughter, especially when I say things like "pimp kicks and fly duds."

Geithner needs to emulate Timberlake because the entertainer’s sense of style is the spitting image of economic prosperity.   If Geithner can follow Timberlake’s stylin’ wiles, risk-taking, and trend setting, he will undoubtedly lead our country to a full economic recovery.
 
Geithner must pay closest attention to Timberlake’s neckwear, in particular, the skinny tie.
 
Timberlake must understand the importance of the skinny tie to our economy because he appears to be trying single handedly to bring the fashion statement back into vogue.  To help him and our economy out, I went on eBay and purchased something like 47 vintage ties for less than fifteen dollars.  The silk neckties were either wide enough to require dangling red flags when traveling along the highway or so thin that if I snapped a shoelace, I’d have a spare.

Since contemporary fashion has little effect on me, I found all 47 perfectly acceptable; though my wife insisted I discard the one with the coffee dribble down the center which I mistook for a swanky Mike Brady-like design.
 
One morning, while standing in front of the mirror working one of my new old skinny ties in a four-in-hand knot with a pair of forceps and some tweezers, my daughter reproached me with a “you’re-not-going-to-seriously-wear-that-in-public” look.  Fortunately, I had fully expected such a reaction and preplanned my brilliant rebuttal:  “Justin Timberlake wears skinny ties.  See?”  I quickly produced the cover of his latest CD that I had placed in my jewelry box for just this moment and pointed out the skinny tie he was wearing.
 
My daughter shifted her weight to one leg, tilted her head, and clucked her teeth, “Dad, you are no Justin Timberlake.”
