    Maybe it will change as time goes by, but for now, when I go kilted in public I am never NOT aware of my appearance and watching for people's reactions. Narcissistic? maybe. Exhibitionist? definitely! Comfortable? you bet! I get fewer comments than I would have expected, given the number of posts about it here, but I have to remind myself that the posts here are a distillation of the total wearing time of the combined X-Marks membership divided by the number of active, frequent posters as a function of the angle of the dangle. You get the idea.

    I don't think a lot of people know what to say, and from the reactions I got last night, I think Ron was right on when he called it a "short circuit of the brain".
    I do think that I made the dinner converstion in a few homes last night.
    (you wouldn't believe what I saw at the store tonight!...)

    I don't care. I know I had a good looking outfit and I've never been so comfortable in my life.
    It don't mean a thing, if you aint got that swing!!

    Once they've seen you kilted in the grocery store a few times they'll soon get used to the idea.

    I'm thinking it will take more than a few times.
    Besides if they get too used to it, it might not be as much fun!
