On my daily park walk today I was approached by this lovely young lady wearing a yellow blouse and a black, mid-knee length skirt. I noticed that she had a camera, and when she got to the picnic table wear I had stopped to take a break, she introduced herself and asked if I would mind if she took some pictures of me in my kilt. I was wearing my UK Heather Grey Mocker at the time, and replied that I would be happy to let her take pictures.

Turns out she was a senior journalism major at the University of Missouri, and was taking photos for a course project.

It was nice to know the my kilt was helping her out with a course project, but the really nice thing was the conversation we had. We sat at the picnic bench and talked for about and hour and a half - killts, Scottish history, politics, family, etc. I asked her what her plans were after she graduated this year, and she said she was thinking about going to law school.

IMHO, one of the great things about wearing a kilt is the excellent conversations you can have with people. It was also very refreshing to she a lovely young women wearing a skirt for a change.
