    Talking Accessories for Scots with Skinny Legs

    After appearing kilted on Sunday, someone brought me this BBC article that she had seen.

    I think it's a riot and others will appreciate it:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/3131732.stm

    On second thought, maybe I could use them!

    Don't act your age, it's not healthy.

    You know, someone (a lovely female friend actually) mentioned the other day that kilt hose really accentuate the calves nicely. I've been a runner and mountain biker since high school, so my legs are pretty toned. I never really thought about it too much till she said something. Yet another PLUS for kilts and kilt hose!

    Thanks for the "skinny" on the implants. Personally, I don't think this idea has a "leg" to stand on.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Nothing particularly new. Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, when men wore breeches and hose, "implants" of wool, tow or even wood were quite popular so that a thin-shanked man could put a "good leg" forward.

    I seem to remember that ad from an earlier post/thread. Haven't been able to find it though.
