Lizzie Borden had a Tie?

The folks at Cyberoptix TieLab, the creators of hand silkscreened neckwear, have created a Lizzie Borden neccktie, called the 40 Whacks. Only $40, and $44 for the silk. If only I were a guy . . .

Concealed Weapons: 40 Whacks (Lizzie Borden)
This is our third in the Concealed Weapons series, each are double printed – a more subtle graphic is on the front only giving a slight clue to a more “loaded” graphic hidden on the back. The second image is concealed on the reverse until the wearer pulls it out for show and tell – or keeps it a secret to his/her self.

Front: Lizzie Borden’s cameo
Back: “Perfect Axe” with Lizzie Borden’s initials
