Kilt in the Background

[davedove]

I noticed this picture on a worst dressed celebrities listing. Notice the couple in the background.

I "love" her shoes. I guess the kilt in the background is there to off set her gown. I certainly wouldn't wear it, but each her own.

It looks like either his socks are a bit high, or the kilt is a bit low...

I am still new to kilts, and I dont have anything traditional yet...what is on his neck? It looks like a military medal.

I'm not sure. I would wager that it's some sort of jewelry fashioned to mimic the appearance of a medal.

And Sav, I thought his kilt was too long as well.

Kilt? I'm still trying to get past the young lady and her ummm, foreground.

I think it is indeed some sort of medal on a ribbon - of the type you used (or perhaps still do in certain circumstances) to see on European Royalty and / or ambassadors. I've always liked the look but thought it too ostentatious for me to try and pull off.

Well, here's the context:

Sadly, nothing about the amused people in the backgound.

BTW- the kilt's length is probably fine, but the photog's angle is slightly from above. All the better to capture the assets Ms Sheridan's showing.

It appears to be some sort of chivralic order medal on a neck ribbon. I can't quite make out which one it is exactly, though. Quite appropriate for formal affairs -- as long the invitation requests medals & decorations, of course.

Another example would be a civic order, such as the Order of Nova Scotia:

At second glance, it appears the medal might be from the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a Roman Catholic order. But again, it's hard to tell -- don't quote me on that! :mrgreen:

Of course, one should only wear one if one is entitled to the medal. ;)

Cheers,

Some civic and fraternal organizations award medals like that for certain honors.

I'm a member of such an organization. I was given the honor, but never got a medal, dammit!
