    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    God I love Pride festivals - sooo much a feeling of FREEDOM.

    A few years ago at Albuquerque Pride there was a guy who'd fashioned what he called a kilt out of old neckties. He was wearing a belt and had neckties hanging down from the belt all the way around - most colorful.

    Certainly a place to show off alternative kilt ideas!

    The only London Pride I have been to (back in the 1990s) also had a fair scattering of traditional tartans also.

    Smile

    I was there and indeed in a kilt, my black one (trad but not a tartan I think, black with black check - I call it the Disaster Area kilt ;-) sadly on my own so no pics, although a guy did take a picture. I was in the 2 Cowboys Westwood tshirt ;-). Marched a bit with Bears Against Bigotry / Bear Your Soul at the end.

    Saw fair few kilts, I wasn't alone and mostly traditional.

    Best moment was running to meet the bears and someone shouted 'Stop Running We Can See Under Your Kilt!' Which given I had my leather sporran on and it's an 8 yard I doubt, but not bothered if they could (although still getting used to not accidentally flashing people on the Tube etc). Made me laugh anyway...

    Hmmm... When I went to one bar a few weeks ago, one guy saw me in my 2nd xkilt, and mentioned he regularly wears one made out of neckties to DJ where he works at another bar. (It apparently was his day off)
