Tituss Burgess on Watch What Happens Live!

Tituss Burgess, star of Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, wore a custom #PinotNoirBowTie tonight for his debut on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live! 

The Story: I randomly met Tituss at a bar on Broadway the week the show debuted. After loaning him my iPhone charger, we struck up a conversation, chatted about NYC/the show/bow ties, ...and the rest is history! It was a privilege to design a custom bow tie for such an incredible spirit and talented individual. In short, he's awesome.

About the #PinotNoirBowTie: The bow tie is crafted from upcycled Pinot Noir bottles from Brotherhood Winery, a NY state vineyard and America's oldest winery. After experimenting with various parts of the bottle and the wine itself, I settled on the shattered pieces adhered to a hidden metal structure with the cork at the center. Pinnoootttttt Noiiirrrr!

Today I say farewell to a beloved friend that has been with me every single day this year. This project has brought a tremendous amount of creativity into my life and allowed me to meet so many new people.. while explaining what I was doing. Thank you everyone for keeping me going with your ideas, blessing me with your company, and even driving me into town because your country home has no cell service or wifi (love you Emily!).

Final #bowtie from an upcycled Christmas tree AKA the same source that kicked off the project on #Day1, minus the needles, & some old stereo copper wiring to hold it together.

I LOVE YOU ALL please have a safe and glorious New Year! I'M DONE

Tomorrow is my VERY LAST bow tie and I'm so excited and incredibly sad/nervous/happy/ECSTATIC. Happy to be spending the evening watching Britney videos and playing board games with Jonathan and Rick.

Doing something I've never done tonight by getting my 2014 forecast read by Isabella at the Astrology Center in Forest Hills. Was told many things but have to wait 3 days and nights before I can share with y'all (I think I can share that her office needs a makeover ASAP).

Furthermore, she loved the #bowtie365 idea and gladly obliged to let me grab some of my cards for today's tie. #Bowtie from a random grab of eight tarot cards. One of them is a princess!

It's my birthday! 26 y'all. Had an incredible post-Prince hangover lunch at Mystic Pizza (sadly no Julia Roberts) and just finished a round of cosmic miniature golf in Danbury at Monster Mini Golf.

Prince slays everyone. And by everyone I mean ALL of your favs.

[background story] My birthday is tomorrow and Kim & Casey surprised me with tickets at Mohegan Sun.

This 365 Project would not be an accurate recap of the year without a nod to the Sriracha scare (shortage? economic apocalypse?) of 2013.

Merry Christmas! #Bowtie cut out from left over wrapping paper and recycled to fuel the fire.

Hope you all had a lovely day with friends/family/random strangers!

ONE WEEK LEFT & Merry Christmas Eve!

After a day of helping out Santa by wrapping presents and picking up some last minute things, finally made it to New Canaan via Metro North and was blessed with a blanket of white snow falling.

#Bowtie taken at God's Acre from some non-Silver Bells (because they're gold) and a delightful bow. Check out the town's biggest Christmas tree in the background too!

8 days left, y'all. Posting this one rather late because I've been jamming out to Fifth Harmony Me And My Girls as well as Da Brat (feat. Tyrese) What'chu Like (I'm very fair in my music play).
