Or should we start a pool on all of the corny kilt jokes that the reporter is going to do? Keep it "on message", Rocky!

"Exuding confidence" has NEVER been a problem for me (just ask Kelly... she thinks I "exude" a bit too MUCH confidence).

It's a 'fun talk show' kind of thing, so there will probably be a few jokes and whatnot, but I'll try (if the opportunity presents itself) to stress the fact that it's not a costume to be worn once a year. I wear the kilt daily and it's comfortable, classy, male clothing.

I'd rather have a MALE reporter b/c he can 'play dress up' and model a kilt outfit for the whole viewing audience, rather than just me with a woman wearing a man's kilt.

We've done 1 other 'extended interview' show before and were interviewed for the news when I made a kilt for a Marine (Sgt. Farr) a few years back. Typically, they want to ask what Celebrities we've made kilts for, who our 'regular' customers are and what we wear under the kilt. I'll TRY to keep that answer PG or PG-13.

[/QUOTE]Not sure how good we'll be. I'm good in small groups, but public speaking (and yes, I consider TV public speaking) was never my 'forte'. I'm sure it'll be fine, but I'll still get 'butterflies'.[/QUOTE]

Put Kelly on camera with the mic. You be the model.

She's worse at public speaking than me. I'll get up the nerve, don't worry.

I'll don my USAKilts Casual Stewart Royal kilt in Gatlinburg after the Celebrate Santa Festival and send good thoughts to Rocky for a great interview. My USAKilt was a test of my measurements to use for having my Clan Claus kilt made of the Scottish Tartan Authority registered ITI # 7869 "Claus of the North Pole" tartan.
