    All about the bling?

    I got my dress sporran from The Celtic Croft

    http://www.kilts-n-stuff.com/Highlan...s_economy.html

    I chose the Chromed Cantle Economy Sporran. My good wife picked it up for me from the post office yesterday, so that once I got home from work I had a surprise. I decided even though it is a dress sporran that I would test it out today at work.I will post pictures later on today, once I get home.

    I dont know if its the chrome cantle or not but I was going through the drive thru at the coffee shop this morning and the girl at the window noticed my kilt so she called over all her co-workers, in no time there were 5 women trying to squeeze through the drive thru window and into my car. I said to her "I was wearing it yesterday you didnt even notice" so she says "Well I noticed today!"

    Yet another example of the power of the kilt, or is it really all about the bling?

    Most women go nuts over a man in kilt. I guess it took the flashy sporran to catch her eye & realize how you were dressed.

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    Women like the bling, all right. Whenever I wear the full rig, I have women examining my plaid brooch and asking to see my jeweled sgian dubh.

    Now were talking, maybe the next one will be a cute little puppy dog full mask, I should talk to TattooBradley about that.

    I guess I'll have to invest in one. They are very nice!

    It was not that expensive it just took a while to get here mostly due to the USPS being closed for Gerald Fords funeral and the holidays, but its here now and my Prince Charlie should be here today also, so I am almost all set, now all I want is a new kilt.
