    First Kilt!!!

    Well boys,

    I went to a RenFaire in Eminence, KY today (did I see anyone there?) and I just couldn't pass this up:





    $85!!! I couldn't live it lay! It's a random, "unreal" tartan, and it's not the best quality in the world, but it's pretty darn comfortable, and it hangs real nice. I don't have any photos of me in it yet (darn traditional cameras) but they will be up soon enough. My phone camera washed the picture out pretty good, but its a dark, cranberry red with black and gray striping.

    I'm very excited. Now, next paycheck will be sporran, hose, and flashes! I'm as giddy as a school girl right now! I've been wandering about the house in it since we got back.

    What do you all think? Tomorrow, when I get home from work (and do some laundry) I'm gonna' try it on with a dress shirt and see how it looks for a dressy affair. HEHEHEHE!!

    Cool congratulations on the new kilt. I will await the shots of you in the kilt to pass judgment as kilts seem to look different when they are just lying on the bed.
