    Two "gurl" related questions


    Hi Gang, and Happy post Boxing Day.
    I have one girl I'm kinda sorta dating that wants a kilt in red with gold, green, and black stripes - no idea what tartan that would be. I sent her the Stillwater Wallace link so maybe she'll think that's close enough.
    Another friend wants to wear a kilt with her man Andy but unlike a men's "gut cut" baby's got back and needs a "butt cut". Do any of the makers have such a beast?
    Feel free to tackle whichever or both questions.
    Thanks

    As for "Oh my god, Becky look at her butt..." I've got a similar issue- I just make skirts a little longer than I actually am going to wear them. And I make sure the pleats in my skirts are sewn down a smidge past the half-way point of my curvy bits... however I'm usually the one sewing them down, since most women's pleated skirts are waistbandpleat with no interruption.

    (PS- 'sorta dating?' Are you not sure who's there when it happens? )

    :razz:
    "sorta" as in she's WEIRD !!! Even though her last name is Guiness (note only one N ) we're way too different and I have no idea what she could possibly see in me. I'm a construction worker and she's a hotel concierge - no class vs. high society. I'll play along til she figures it out ....

    ps: thanks for the link, that's kind of fun.

    CT - can you beer me now? good.

    ... and a girl you're kinda dating that already has a kilt, and a girl you're sorta dating that wants tartan slacks, and ... sorry, couldn't help myself.;-)

    This thread addressed making a kilt with a "back" to it - closest I've seen to your kiltmaker question. There are kiltmakers that offer kilt skirts - one of them should have addressed this by now ...
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    Careful with that stuff... Ten years ago, I was a truck driver, that barely attained a HS diploma and dropped out of college, "kinda sorta" dating a girl working toward her masters in literature at the university... We're married now, and I'm back in college!

    Yeah you really have to be careful about such generalisations.

    I did Yale undergrad, Harvard Grad & research fellowships at Princeton but my spouse failed out of the local community college.

    And at alumni events, Nopadon is usually the person everyone wants to talk to because he's an amazingly great conversationalist. Even though he has little formal education he definitely has class.
