Bet you somebody's pulled off wearing a kilt and having a mohawk.

It wasn't spiked up at the time of the picture but here you go:



OK, I don't know what is going on with my ISP but I can't seem to post pictures any more.

AHA!.... Fixed it.

That's ok that the picture isn't there, I can't look at it anyway. I remember seeing some kind of painting of a warrior with a helmet that had a mohawk-like thing on top and a tunic with hanging strips of armor. I think the romans may have done their armor like this, and it looked kilt-like. That's what made me think of the mohawk and kilt combo. Glad you tried it.

He now has a much larger pink mohawk which can be seen on here http://www.bbc.co.uk/dragonsden/series5/episode1.shtml

Their "armored kilt?" I think I know what you're talking about. And the "mohawk thing" is called a crest, made of horse hair or feathers, they were usually placed on top of the helmet to signify rank, importance, and to tell who belongs where.

the perfect hairstyle would have been .... the mullet.

So where would my "skull-et" fit in?

Skullet!

I'm trying to post a pic, but it won't let me post attachments...


Anyways, if there are hairstyles that go with the kilt, then what doesn't? (Besides some obvious ones of course)

They were wearing rectangular plates hanging from a gurdle-like thing that had bronze buckle things across it. Under that would be a tunic like garment, so the plates and the tunic together had a box pleat like look to it. It was very interesting looking. This has also influenced my taste in kilts and I find myself liking the larger wider pleats on the box pleated kilts and the casual pleates, keeping in mind I'm having to see this all in my mind, te he.

I think you're talking about the apron, which protected the groin (sorta). If I could post a pic, I'd be happy to clear it up, but it's not turning out.

I'm trying to remember from history classes and such, but I think the plates were aranged so they could be spread apart for riding horses and also for movement. I don't think they were attached in anyway to the tunic under them.
