Times-Picayune: A kilt is not a costume for this New Orleans man

A nice article in the New Orleans Times-Picayune:

Here's one of the few absolutes in the fashion world: Shy guys don't wear kilts -- at least not on this side of the Atlantic.

A man in a skirt is just bound to get noticed.

That's the reason Graham Gibby, a guy with a closet full of kilts, won't wear one when he's a guest at a wedding, unless it's requested. It's just not good form to draw more attention than the bride and groom.

"It's like being the hot blonde in the red dress at a party," Gibby said. "When you wear a kilt, you know everybody is going to be looking at you."

One of the best written articles of this type I've read. The writer did her homework.

A well written article.

Ten kilts probably sounds a lot to many but as we know not to all!

Wonderful article. I wish more articles like this one were published in the US.

Now THAT was an article! Excellently done. As most of us want to just wear what we want when we want that went a long way in our favor.

I DID notice that she used Jimmy (Carbomb)'s "tank" phrase. Perhaps she actually did her homework for the article.

"As a kilt, it remains as sexually assertive on a self-assured male as a low-cut blouse is on a confident woman."

Yes, I'd say she did her homework well. And can turn a phrase nicely to boot.
