Barack Obama Elected 44th U.S. President

As was widely anticipated, Democrat Barack Obama was last night elected the 44th President of the United States of America.

Obama will be ready for the eyes of the world watching his every move as he tackles crucial issues from war in Iraq to climate change.

Just to add further pressure to Obama, we at Tiesplanet.com are going to be keeping a keen watch on the ties he wears. We will be making frequent reviews of his choice of neckwear from here-on-in.

So keep logging in to see what styles and colours of tie Barack chooses to wear.

In the meantime, why not show your love for the USA, by buying a luxury tie featuring the stars and stripes?

BBC Right To Suspend Ross?

We have all seen the mass coverage of the fall-out from Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's prank calls to Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs' answerphone last week. The BBC ultimately decided to suspend Ross for 12 weeks without pay for his role in the calls, which were aired on Brand's BBC Radio 2 show.

As one of Britain's most famous tie wearer's we are interested to see if you think Ross has been treated harshly. Perhaps you think the punishment is too lenient and the furore is all a storm in a teacup? Do you think the chat show host should have been sacked?

Please give your opinion by voting on our poll and discussing the scandal in the comments box below...


See if you can find a tie as extravagant as Jonathan Ross' in our vast collection at Tiesplanet.com...

Fashion Tips from Ken Dodd!

Yes, veteran comedian Ken Dodd has recently aired his views on ties, claiming, “I’ve got hundreds of ties and even wear one going to bed. They’re the last stranglehold of men’s fashion sense."

Dodd just can't understand politicians over 40 years of age not wearing ties either. “It’s like they are trying to be 21 again.” A sentiment we share very much.

And Ken's final fashion tip... “Ties and training shoes don’t go either – you have to walk around with your shirt hanging out.” This we're not in total agreement with as we have seen many a cool dude sporting trainers and skinny tie, but it just great to see someone who cares about ties! Nice one Ken!

Know someone who is clinging onto their youth by not wearing a tie to work? Let him know it is time to see the light by buying him a tie for Christmas from Tiesplanet.com!

X-Factor - 'Piano Tie Tony' Is Back

X-Factor fanatics may remember 2005 auditionee, Anthony Little. Name doesn't ring a bell? Well, he was more famously known as 'Piano Tie Tony' due to his choice of neckwear for the ITV show audition.

'Piano Tie Tony' wore a rather distinctive white jacket and piano tie on the show in 2005. This didn't help him get through to the next round though, resulting in an argument between Anthony and judge Simon Cowell. Little told the music mogul, “(he) had made the wrong decision and that he should change his mind”, to no avail.

Imagine Cowell's shock when Anthony walked through the X-Factor audition doors again this year... again wearing the piano tie! Little did take the tie off before he performed this time round, but again did not make it past the first stage.

You can read the full story here.

Now that 'Piano Tie Tony' has become simply 'Tony', if you like his tie, then maybe you could offer to buy it from him.

Alternatively, we have ties very much like the one he wore... Ties Planet Tie like 'Piano Tie Tony's'
