Tonight my wife and I went to a big band dance and dinner, as a valentine's event. I wanted to dress up and wore my Buccleuch tartan kilt from USA Kilts, a white shirt, dark green hose with matching tartan flashes, that my wife had time to sew for me. She made her self a reddish corduroy dress, sorry no pictures, but mine is similar to what I wore at Christmas.

I was warm on top from dancing, but cool from the waist down! A few comments from the evening. The first guy said while we were standing at the bar, "I should have worn my kilt!" I asked why not, and he replied, "I used to wear one while I was in Scotland and they sure are fun to dance in. Then everybody rented one to wear to weddings." I just told him I wear one quite often.

While we were dancing, of course we got a few looks and this one lady who I thought was dressed really strange must have pointed to me. My wife said, "They are talking about us or you, because she pointed." I said, "And we are talking about her." My wife laughed. Later, when we were leaving and I walked by her, she said, "Nice kilt!" I just thanked her.

Then I had noticed a guy of a different nationality, and I always like to find out where they are from as we don't have many other nationalities around here. Usually I can guess pretty close, but this one I couldn't figure out for some reason. I guessed Mexico, because of the darker skin, but he said no. Guess again. And I couldn't tell from his accent. He finally told me it was India. Then I could see it right away. But then he said to me, " I bet I can guess your nationality - Scottish!" I replied, "Nope, not at all. I am German and Finnish. I just like wearing a kilt as they are comfortable. Now he is probably all confused. haha

DALE.
