Vancouver Courier photo with Toddish in Kilt

**Toddish McWong** · 8th January 05, 07:00 PM

Hi all,

The Vancouver Courier, a small tabloid here, printed a photo from my 2004 Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner as they promote my January 30th, Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner.

I am wearing an Ancient Fraser tartan from Simon Fraser University. My actor friend Adrienne Wong (half Chinese/half French Canadian) is wearing a plaid pleated skirt, and Opera soprano Heather Pawsey is wearing a Chinese cheong-sam (long dress).

Here's my link

Kind of wish that I could be there especially with a picture like that.

Great shot

Awesome, and the fact that I have a friend by the name of Andrea Wong makes it somewhat amusing.

I think that is so kool.
we are all humans, right?
so why not wear human clothes?
I think it's boring sticking to just one culture, when you can embrace them all.
imagine wearing pants all the time, and eating nothin but fish n chips.

p.s just off out for fish n chips in my kilt

Great photo!! You could market that to personnel managers as a fine example of "diversity" that they're all into.

I'm an advocate of kilts and all, and the one that you're wearing is really nice, but...

That red dress is hot!

I know "someone" that would look REAL NICE in one of those!

I was thinking that exact same thing.

This past Septmeber we went to a friends's wedding, he is Chinese and she is English. My son and I wore our kilts, and my daughter wore a red chinese dress similar to the one in the picture. Of course she was a different kind of cute in hers.

That too is a great shot Colin

Nice outfits on your kids Colin - Kilts and Cheong-sam - very ethnic-chic.

Bring the kids to the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner. Kids 12 & udner early bird price is $35 but I am sure that we can stick toddlers on an extra seat.

Bear is organizing a table to get the "Friends of Todd Wong" extended early bird rate.

For more info on the dinner - check out www.gunghaggisfatchoy.com

ps I'll be speaking about my 7th Generation Chinese-Canadian Family that have married lots of Scots and Brits and is only 1/4 Chinese in the 7th Gen. Check out CBC Radio One - 690 AM in Vancouver. 8am to 8:30 with Sheryl McKay on "North By Northwest."

Cheers, Todd

Still trying to see if we can make it. My folks are moving from Burnaby to Coquitlam the next day at 8 am, so my brother in law and I have a big day ahead of us. Still trying to find a way to include the night, and I have put the word out to kiltsnight regulars.

Toddish, can you please give us a bit more info on the highland games going on at SFU on the 28th. I am hoping to attend that day.
