    Kilts in People

    So yesterday I was traving back to Cali and was in the airport in Atlanta when waiting for my flight, I saw the "where are they now" edition of People magazine. It was about child stars and where they are at in their lives. So flipping though the magazine I see the kid that was on Charles in Charge Alexander Niver Polinsky and he was wearing a black UK! So the caption addressed the kilt. He said he was starting to embrace his scottish roots and he likes pants, but there is some about wearing a kilt it gives you more freedom. I was floored well done Alex!

    Should this not be called "People in Kilts"?

    'People in kilts in People Magazine' is too much of a mouthful for a title...

    When I read the title I just imagined someone with a terrible eating disorder who'd scarfed down a kilt haha

    LOL

    Well the title of the publication is People Magazine, or as often called, just simply People. "Kilts in People Magazine" might have worked better...

    On the one hand, that's great exposure. On the other hand, he's a Scientologist... Do we really want to be associated with them?

    I had exactly the same thought as you, Trefor. The title of the thread worried me so much I had to take a look.

    Maybe it is because we do not have 'People Magazine' over here (as far as I know!)

    I have not heard of the gentleman in question either - could he be some sort of minor 'celebrity'?

    Take care,
