2012: the year of the bow tie

January 1st, 2012 by admin

Year of bow ties box set!!!!!

Happy new year! Holy smokes I am excited at the prospect of a shiny, bright & clean new year- there are so many good things to fill it up with. We’re lucky to be reminded at least once a year that we have power over our own lives and can make with them what we will.

2012 is shaping up to be groundbreaking year for us at xoelle headquarters and we’re starting the year off right by introducing the year of bow ties box set. It’s 12 bow ties packaged smartly in an awesome box, featuring a variety of materials, patterns, shapes, and awesomeness. Get ‘em all at once or ask for them bow-tie-of-the-month-club style and one will be mailed to you each month for a year. Totally awesome!

And, let me tell you about Mr. Jeffrey Vasquez, a rad math teacher from New York, who is wearing a bow tie for 1000 days straight starting today. He’s doing it because it’s cool and to earn a little cash for his school and raise awareness about the achievement gap. We’ve pledged our support of awesome Jeff in the form of 33 bow ties- one mailed to him every month until his project concludes in September of 2014. Just great on so many levels. Check him out and his daily bow tie here. You rule Jeff!

p.s I really don’t know why I always use “we” and “us” in reference to xoelle since xoelle=me.
p.p.s. 2012 is awesome already.

as always,
elle

    Hi Elle!

    I got 1/33 yesterday and am wearing it today! Thank you thank you thank you!

    BTW whenever I’m teaching I’ll refer to myself as ‘we’ to the kids. “We graded your hw and decided we needed to revisit multiplying fractions this week.” And you’re right – 2012 is indeed awesome.

    Love, love, love the box set of bow ties. What a rad idea. Leave it to you to do something clever like this.

    Hi Elle! I’m a portuguese mom of three boys and i just want to tell you how i love your life style!! When i saw that amazing bike or your clothes for Christmas Day, it yells freedom!! I’m sure your kids are very happy… Sometimes i doubt my motherhood, i leave home 7.30 am and i’m back 12 hours later… They stay at school all that time and at home we run for the showers, we run for dinner, we run for brush teeths, for bed time story, we run all the time… :(
