I was kilted all day today. (12/19/06) I teach, and after the initial shock for some of my students, it was business as usual. A couple of the females made some suggestive comments, but I always asked them to put up or shut up--in a very fun manner; nothing rude or crude--they always laughed and told me how they liked the kilt.
I walked to the local coffee shop with my seniors to buy them coffee and cheese cake, and I got some very nice comments from the people I met. A couple of ladies made some very nice comments about my legs; I assurd them that I thought their legs nicer.
After work, a wee dram with a colleague at a local pub with nothing but postive smiles and comments. Then to the shopping center for a couple of Xmas presents and home.
I didn't really have a bad experience at all except for two very sheltered students who had never seen a man kilted. And they were shouted down by other students who liked the kilt.
Now I think another kilt day is in store for this week.
