    First time

    Congratulations!

    The "first time" is always the hardest, but afterwards, we wonder "what was all the fuss."

    Perhaps the Blessed Patrick is behind this!

    A Great Experience

    Everything went really great today. I got alot of positive comments, and several of the girls got out their camaras to get a picture taken with me. I work in a medical office and one of the nurses said loud enough for everyone to hear that I was looking so hot that she could hardly talk to me and maintain her composure. I said yeah, and I'm the new King of England.
    The few comments I got about wearing a skirt were met with the snappy comebacks that I learned here. They were so useful in shutting those types up and I found them really invaluable in responding.
    At one point I walked into the records room where about seven nurses were looking at records and they all started applauding at once. That made me feel pretty good.
    The best part was being comfortable all day in my kilt. I only wish I could wear one every day.
    We have casual day every friday where you have to pay a dollar (it goes to charity) to wear jeans, so perhaps I'll just show up in another kilt on that day. It's been said that it's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission. Perhaps I'll find out if that's true, and if nothing is said, I'll wear one every Friday. A cheap price to pay for comfort.
    I never would have done this without the support, advice, and encouragement from you folks here at X-Marks. A thousand thank-yous to all of you. If I knew how to post a picture, I would.
    Highest regards to all,
    Reggie
    PS. Tomorrow I'll be wearing my Utilikilt Original to work at an outreach clinic. Woo Hoo!!

    Thumbs up Anniversary

    Congratulations! Marks a year of part-time kilted at work. Asked the management and got the okay last year. Then along came Tartan Day...now it's been 2-3 times a week, mostly UKs and AKs, with a SportKilt once in a while. Seem to get "nice purse" comments when wearing a sporran, though , but giving them the proper name of it really quiets them. Now if only my Argyll and vest will get here in time from the Kilt Store...I'll have a complete outfit for the Tartan Day parade this year!

    Hey, it worked out good for me too.

    I had a couple of friends mention that they should try and do the same next year. Of course, I said "Why wait a year?"
