My noble countrymen... lend me your ear.

OK, so some of you live outside of the US. Sorry about that... you can listen in too...

Have you noticed that most pics of us in kilts just show us standing there with our arms crossed on our chest or our hands on our hips?

We need BETTER PICS of the kilts.

"Better? Whatever do you mean, Rocky?"

I'm glad you asked. People brought it up in Graham's string ("It's here, it's here"). He's a great looking guy and all, but you can't see the QUALITY of the kilt from 1 front shot... especially when everyone takes BASICALLY the same pic (myself included)! We need to rethink our kilt picture taking plan. Here are the 2 suggestions...

Take multiple pics of the kilt from different angles (back, side, front, CLOSEUP, normal distance, etc). Show off the quality! You PAID for the thing... show people WHY!

2nd... Give us some ACTION shots. When people buy a kilt from me and say they'll send me pics, I ask them to send me a pic of the kilt "IN ACTION". One guy sent me a pic of him cracking a WHIP in a kilt I made. That's a cool pic. I brag about my kilts being able to take a good amount of abuse... prove me right! Put it through it's paces! Take pics of you Hiking in a kilt... riding your Harley in a kilt... building a house in a kilt... MAKING A SIGN FOR MY SHOP (Graham...) in a kilt... Singing on stage in a kilt... SURROUNDED BY WOMEN in a kilt...

The list goes on! Don't get me wrong. We're a bunch of good looking men (well... Rufus is kind of ugly, but we won't count him ) and we love to stand tall and take a front shot of us in our kilts. Problem is, there's little variety! You should be OUT THERE in the REAL WORLD with your kilt on ANYWAY... PROVE IT!

Here's a contest for you all...

I want a SPECIFIC picture. It will probably have to be taken by a 3rd person. I want someone in a kilt in a crowded place. I also want the picture to have a "reaction" of another person's face to you wearing the kilt. First person to post such a pic on XMARKS will get a USAK Tshirt (their choice of size). Ther's only 1 tshirt to give away, but even if you're not the winner, please post your pics anyway! I'm sure we'll get some good ones!

Lets see how many people we can catch "stealing a glance" at a man in a kilt.
