It finally got to be a bit exasperating to explain for the umpteenth time that I was not in costume but after a while several friends were stopping the question before it even got asked. I know it sounds a bit silly and I"m used to "the question" in it's various forms but this got silly.

Oh, well it was a fun party and I guess I'm still not quite used to the attention a kilt brings ....even when the entire Munster family is there and there are also flying monkeys!
