Mr. Silver Wears a Tie - The Monochromatic Necktie

This is a fashion statement for the solid color tie worth more than a million dollars. It was not long ago that the Regis Philbin on his Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Show caused a necktie sensation that had men and women in a “twighlight zone like” trance over the stealthy monochromatic fashion statement. A fashion trend at least, this necktie style proved that not only rappers, and basketball players set trends.

For a living as a robotic mime, Mr. Silver takes the monochromatic look quite seriously wearing a solid silk gold necktie and them some. It takes over an hour to do the makeup; lucky for him it comes off faster. Yes, you guessed it - he has to shower to remove the silver coating he meticulously covers about 50% of his body with. However he first must drive home to Los Angeles where he lives, about a 45 minute drive from the Irvine Spectrum Center where his performance has captivated many.

If you are driving the I-5 Freeway in southern California you may be lucky to see his show and his fashionable costume for yourself. You cannot miss the place, its’ where the 405 and 5 Interstate Freeways merge. The Spectrum, Orange County’s number one hot spot with night clubs, restaurants, a giant 21 screen Edwards Theater with an Imax, a Nordstroms, hundreds of retailers, and three coffee houses and on weekends something very special. Until July of 2001 the famous Too Sexie Tie Kiosk was there, a specialty retail venue that I had operated for almost 4 years at that mall. On Friday and Saturday in the evening the Mr. Silver show will have hundreds of on lookers spell-bound as the robotic Terminator-looking actor goes through his “out of this World” routine.

You can only imagine what a California Highway Patrol Officer thought one late night when he stopped Mr. Silver on the 405 freeway on his way home for excessive speed. “Silver” at least that is what I called him ( I have always loved the Silver Surfer ), did not get the speeding ticket but was detained until several other officers could come by for a look. Back at the station and at breakfast tables the following morning those cops had a much different story to tell then the usual villain or freeway chase tale. “Honey I met E.T. last night and he was wearing a silver tie.”
