Experiences Whilst Out

[Blu (Ontario)]

... If you want to fast-track that self-confidence, here are some tips:

1. Come here often and talk about your experiences, read of others'.

2. Listen to lots of Scottish music, especially in the car driving kilted on an outing.

3. Tell yourself you are heavens' gift to women and mankind in general in a kilt, and that other men are just envious that they don't have the courage to wear one.

4. Try to make your whole appearance "fit" together for whatever occasion, whether it's shopping or a celtic event. I refer to overall smartness, colour combinations and accessories.

5. Reward yourself after a successful outing with a wee dram or a pint of your favourite brew.

All good advice. Adjunct to that...

6. Do it often.
7. Do it with pride.
8. Quit thinking about the kilt.
9. Make eye contact and smile.
10. Same as #5.

I really think that we make our own luck wearing the kilt. If you wear it well, with pride and confidence, you will get many fewer to no bad comments.
