    I was really concerned about how this interview would turn out. The young lady who wrote the article is from the fashion world and they sometimes have a different slant on how they view The Kilt.

    I almost called off the interview when she wanted to use a model wearing another manufacturer's product. She just didn't know the difference.

    She seemed to be most concerned with "the look" and not the product. In her world it is more about Who is sporting the new look, not what they are wearing.

    Not the best article ever done on me but at least she didn't go for the humor angle.

    Humour? There's HUMOUR in a kilt?

    Who knew?

    A good article. Great pictures. Putting on my PR hat for a sec, I'll remind you that even bad publicity is good publicity.

    Cheers and Good On!

    All in all a good article I'd say. No mention of skirts, the question, or funny remarks. Good photos of you too BTW. Wish she would have delved a little deeper into your kilt shop, but alas we'll have to wait for another article for that.
