Yikes Matt...that was me maybe...

I was just romping around the AZ Ren Faire last month in my UK brown leather kilt, Freelander Sporran, and a horned Viking Helmet. Keep trying to post the pic but no matter how small I shrink it the message still comes back "too large" Go figure, post large pictures with ease...this one, cropped and reduced to nil still is "too large." Wish I understood this stuff.

Anyway, back on topic. Wore my UK olive mocker to work today with a dress white shirt and tartan tie. Also wore green kilt hose, brown wingtips and tartan flashes. For me it was a business look with a kilt instead of slacks. The flashes were an afterthought to sort of "Celt Up" for St. Paddy's Day.

Usual teasing comments from coworkers, a "nice legs" from a burly Navajo guy - in an approving manner. "Aren't your knees cold?" from my 84 year old demented mother when I picked her up for a doctor's appointment. One lady coworker asked very seriously about the what the flashes were, their history, etc.

Best deal came when a brand new lady therapist, who has yet to see me kilted. She's from Mississippi by way of Yuma, AZ. She asked teasingly, "Aren't you cold?" I smiled and said, "I have many responses to that question. They range from anger, to science, to flirtatious. Which would you like?" She just said, "Never mind."

I was working alone after night group and had a couple young cops tapping on my office window. Turned out someone had set the alarm system off in another wing of the office. We dealt with that and all got back to work. They never said anything.

I put in a 12 hour day today. ALL of it sitting in meetings or groups. I was VERY comfortable.

I really like how the UK mocker is a kilt, with the business look. And, business is a place where I really like the many layered narrow apron so the weight keeps the kilt down when I'm sitting...don't have to worry. Also lets me assume more varied sitting postures than a traditional apron. Often have wondered why UK doesn't market "modesty feature" more and why they don't market the mocker as an alternative to slacks in the office.

Finally got some at work photos today...but gotta shoot the roll up to get it developed.
