Genius Bowtie - Exclusive Hand Crafted Unique Bowtie

It all started with a gift from my girlfriend on my birthday. She loves buying accessories taking them apart and creating new unique ones just for herself. She knows I like men's accessories and complain at the lack of choice we have compared to women. So, for our third anniversary on my birthday she handed me a box containing a white suede bowtie with peacock feathers. It was so unique, and quite possibly the best designed bowtie I had ever seen, trust me I know my bowties and have an extensive collection.I loved my bowtie so much, that I waited for the perfect place to wear it in style. Lucky for me I was invited to my friends wedding in Monaco, where I of course decided to wear it. That night my bowtie was a instant hit, every one loved the design and asked where I purchased it from, I was not expecting such a huge level of interest. Of course I gave credit to my girlfriend for making it specially for me.

Michelangelo

Painter, sculptor, architect and poet Michelangelo, one of the most famous artists of the Italian Renaissance, was born on March 6th, in 1475. He had a difficult childhood, after loosing his mother at a yougn age he was placed with a family of stonecutters, where he later jested, "With my wet-nurse's milk, I sucked in the hammer and chisels I use for my statues." With a recommendation, he moved into the palace of Florentine, one of the powerful Medici family, to study classical sculpture in the Medici gardens. This was a fertile time for Michelangelo; his years with the Medici family permitted him access to the social elite of Florence allowing him to study under the respected sculptors exposing him to prominent poets, scholars and learned Humanists. These combined influences laid the groundwork for what would become Michelangelo's distinctive style: a muscular precision and reality combined with an almost lyrical beauty are testaments to his unique talent at the young age of 16. As the years passed by Michelangelo had become something of an art star. He took over a commission for a statue of "David," which two prior sculptors had previously attempted and abandoned, and turned the 17-foot piece of marble into a dominating figure. The strength of the statue's sinews, vulnerability of its nakedness, humanity of expression and overall courage made the "David" a prized work of art still admired today.
