Kilted at the Bar Mitzvah party

[ccga3359]

See, dressing to present your best appearance for the occasion I understand, and that may be my point (if I have one 1!). What I wear to worship whatever god(God) I decide should be my choice. What I detected earlier was others defining what was appropriate for somebody else to wear to church. That is what I object to.

/Rant off

But we wear kilts! We take more time getting dressed, even if we're dressing own. We stand out from the norm because of the kilt and we do tend to dress a little more refined than others. When was the last time you saw a kilted gent looking like a slob. As far as church goes, I'm not the type but when I go I'm dressed better than normal out of respect for the institution. In a synagogue I wear a yarmulke even hough it's not my custom and perhaps I don't fully understand the history behind it. I do understand that one must cover his head although they don't enforce this amongst Christians, I do it out of respect. Somebody else's house (of worship) I'll follow their customs or rules. I respect you and I'll respect your choices.

I had to explain to our recent guest, an exchange student from France, that I still get dressed (jacket and tie) to fly anywhere...she was wearing her sweats for the flight back home. I guess I'm just a person stuck in the sixties...traveling used to be an event and you dressed accordingly.

Everytime I go to the ball park I think of all of the generations before that attended games wearing suits, ties and those straw hats...I especially think of that when I see some slob with his @$$ hanging outta his baggy @$$ shorts.

I wore the kilt to a closing night reception for the exchange students and had to explain to someone that not only was this my "dressing up" option but it's the only thing that I have that's between jeans and a t-shirt and a suit...some of you guys go on about how much you dislike wearing jeans; I can't stand "dockers" type pants.

I would think that anyone would be honored to have one of us attend an event kilted...it show that we care enough to wear our very best.

Best
