    This happens sometime but I have to say that I live right in the heart of east Los Angeles as I am married to a wonderful Mexican woman and am part of a great family. When I wear my kilt anywhere in southern California I get some comments in Spanish and some in English but they have all been positive. My relatives didn't take very long to accept the fact that their son-in-law wears a kilt and my mother-in-law who is from Mexico is actually proud of it and at family gatherings she seems to beam when friends ask her about "the man in the kilt".
    My only problem has been the Mexican cuisine and my waistline!

    The Brasilian guys in the kitchen at work think it's funny that I wear kilts, but they're all used to me by now. And they've seen the women hitting on me - they always make sure to let me know when I go through the kitchen.
