Calgary Herald magazine

This pic was on the top of the front page, advertiizing the weekend magazine today. This was the first page of the article, a rather wandering self indulgent and kind of pointless psuedo analysis of masculinity. Cool pic though. Nice kilt, not so sure about the cowboy boots (although I shouldnt talk Ive worn my motorcycle boots with mine) and we wont talk about the shirt.

“Drinkin’ and fightin’!”

This is what I get for not reading the Herald. Hopefully my parents will save me the article.

On a similar note...in todays' Calgary Sun newspaper they printed a small picture from the "Dressed To Kilt" event in NYC. It showed one of the female models, as well as a decent shot of Sir Sean Connery.

I felt like I was one with the Kilt. Now I must make a stampede to Calgary and say that is one neat pic, even though I would not have a shirt like that, so not me.

I might could do the shirt, if I had a plain, long sleeved shirt over it...maybe something out of a outdoor catalog. The boots? no, never. Hiking boots maybe with that shirt and the utilikilt. Cowboy boots?...too broke back.

Hey, it's a look. It's not my style, but not every guy wants to look like a 17th century Victorian schoolboy.

Well, Calgary IS a big cowtown. Cowboy boots are part of the dress code. He forgot his hat though.

Hmmmmm...I've lived in Calgary for 26 years and the only reason I even own cowboy boots was to wear at my wedding (wife's idea). Last year I added a cowboy hat, but only to wear during Stampede week while driving my bus. Stampede week is the only time we're allowed to be out of uniform.

Funny, I looked at the shirt and said, man, I couldn't get away with wearing that.
