A man born to wear the kilt

[michael steinrok]

When I was a little kid I used to watch a lot of TV on Saturday mornings. Some reason that seemed to be okay with my mom. Any way I used to see a lot of war movies and I remember something about the kilted ladies from hell. I thought that was the coolest thing I ever heard, next to bagpipes which I also loved. Don't know why.Left a lasting impression on me and here I am. 8-)

Any roads very nice compliment. I hope your back heals quickly!

In the light of this thread - I nearly fell over! and thanked her, it is the highest compliment one can receive!

Graham, I'm really glad that you got that compliment too. Sort of feels like having someone pin a medal on your chest.

As Mark Twain said "Clothes make the man." How you're dressed makes a huge difference in how you feel about yourself. That's why I sometimes think its a shame when people dress casually for things they used to dress up for, like going out for dinner or a show. Look at how a uniform can change a person's behavior. When I'm in my kilt I'm already better dressed than most of the people around me.

It is my never to be humble opinion that all MEN are born to wear the Kilt, it's those 'poor timid souls that live in that grey twilight' that I worry about.

If there's one thing I'd like to see, it would be men and women dressing formally for things like concerts, dances, etc. Around here dressing for an occassion seems to be a lost art. How sad.:-|

i agree with you here 100% KM.
major theatre junkie here & try to go to a Broadway show at least once a month (if the budget will allow - and now that i am spending more & more on kilts & fabric it may be a very dry season - show wise - but i will look great when i go!!!)

ANYWAY, as much as i like to see theatre attendance being enjoyed by one & all, it still lessens the event aspect of it for me at least to see people in beat up jeans & sweeats & the like heading in to see a show. Is it too much to put on something CLEAN at least.

Ditto for those who go to funerals & the like in clothes that look like they slept in them !!! :-x

Okay - i am stepping off my soapbox now - the updraft was getting embarassing!

Hummm.... to talk about dressing for occasions and dressing policies is to walk on thin ice. Mind that someone can think unacceptable to see a man in kilt at those occasions.
