Are kilts gothic (or anti-gothic)

Not only that, try selling the idea of wearing kilt to the rap guys. It is going to be a tough sell.

We'll see. I'm headed to Cleveland on Monday to work on the new video from Bone Thugs N Harmony. Not the first rap group I've worked for kilted, but certainly the biggest.

Are they still really around?!? I saw there old CD in the bargin section the other day for a $1.99.

Wow, I thought they disappeared mid 90's with the likes of Kriss Kross and the East vs West rap debate

I can't wait to hear their reaction to the kilt Adam. It's sound slike a fun day.

I thought I had read on Matt Newsome's blog that solid black kilts had been adopted as a dress/symbol for the people of Cornwall.

"Rocker", "Punk", "Glam", and "Goth" movements/fashion all share one common aspect. It's about rebelling against societal fashion and musical norms.

I find it somewhat amusing that you can have corporations like "Hot Topic" that own mall stores across America (and don't forget the internet) selling "Rocker", "Punk", "Glam", and "Goth" outfits and accessories.

The Rebellion has become the fashion, and in a sense, part of the norm.

(So says Panache who has dressed as The Crow for Halloween and still sometimes listens to his "Swing the Heartache", "Floodland", and "Anything" cds)

If I remember correctly, some Cornish were using a solid back kilt, but now there a number of Cornish tartans:

Notice the St. Piran's Cross, a white cross on a black field, is prominent -- St. Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall and tin miners.
