That's a pretty incredible tie choice. I wonder if he didn't start with the tie and build around that. It works unbelievably well.

I wouldn't be surprised. Barima is a level or two above most of us on this forum...

I should explain my picture above too... I was not auditioning for MGMT, it was an art exhibition here in Tokyo, part of which involved an enormous box of fabric offcuts and rags, from which you were just instructed to make your own outfit. It amused my son, anyway...
