Kilted in another classroom...
As many of you know, I wear a kilt in the classroom almost every day - but today, a friend who teaches interpersonal communication asked me to step into his classroom - since they had just discussed clothing as a form of non-verbal communication - my wearing a kilt might drive the lesson home. So-at the appointed time I walked in and he introduced me.
We had a great conversation about the effect of clothes on perception. One student told me "I've seen you on campus and I thought that you must be important because your kilt makes you look that way." then she added "I wonder if someone much younger could wear a kilt without getting ribbed by their buddies." A very perceptive young woman - ok the "much younger" part stung a bit - but I got over that.
Of course the conversation quickly turned to kilts in general, surprisingly no one asked "the question." The first fact I shared with the class was the BIG secret... women LOVE men in kilts. The guys looked surprised, the girls just smiled... With that fact in hand, I shared the worlds shortest history of the kilt - from the highlands and the belted plaid to the Battle of Culloden, the Act of Proscription, Wilson's pattern book, and finally - kilts in the 21st century... not bad for my 15 minues of fame :rolleyes:
So I want to send out a BIG thank you to all the members of this board. I put on my first kilt shortly before New Years day. Because to the amazing collective knowledge, wisdom, and support here I could share a bit of kilted goodness with others.

That is great. I'm really glad you were able to enjoy your well-earned fame, and spread the joy of kilting a little farther.
Now let's see who else we can thrust into the spotlight of greatness, if not for a few moments!

Phil,
Great experience, and I thought the original "love ME in kilts" was just you being realistic in sharing your experience!

Now that you shared the big secret, I wonder how long it'll take for more kilts to start showing up around campus.

You may have been thinking about all the smiles you get from the ladies when you typed "love me in kilts.
