OMG!!!! OK, KTLA needs to fire their newscaster for the red miniskirt! I would think that LA would have enough Scottish people who could be consulted to provide reasonably accurate information about kilt wearing. Of course, this is the same town that produced Braveheart.....

And Fox59 news in Indiannapolis...was that a skirt?!? Although, even with the guy wearing a skirt...it looked sort-of ok.

I bet the folks a Glenlivet got a good laugh out of the ridiculous things that Americans wore for a "kilt" Why, oh why do we Americans sometimes do such a good job at showing our complete ignorance?!? Last I looked, a quick search on wikipedia or google provides more than accurate pictures of what a kilt should look like.

The idea of wearing a Kilt to work for Charity is a great idea. It gets people who normaly wouldn't wear a Kilt to actually wear one, and that's good.

Now to educate those people who want to wear the Kilt more then once, on how to wear it proper.

AND perhaps most importantly, they're going to do it again on 5 April - there's a registration form where each of us can get pledges from people to sponsor our wearing our kilts to work on 5 April for the Direct Relief International charity!

After all these comments I just wish I could watch the entire video. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, it plays to about halfway through and then freezes! I have tried everything I know to get the remainder to play, but it stops everytime at the same point. Oh, well!

I am rather envious of you guys over there. We do not have a Tartan Day' or a 'Wear a Kilt to Work Day'. On the other hand, for me every day is a 'Wear a Kilt' day because I am retired and can wear just whatever I please!

To raise money for charity perhaps we could sponsor Hamish to wear trousers for a day!

Now, there's a thought! However, I really do not think I could manage to get through a whole day in trousers - not even for the most worthwhile cause.

Well............it was for a good cause, but once again the media made light of a serious subject. And the mini-kilt was an offence to all of us who love the kilt.

The guy with the sporran around his neck did say he didn't know how it was worn. Chances are he got razzed for it and then was, ahem, made an example of. That's just my guess, he probably had more than enough time to correct the blunder.

There were some sharp dressed guys in there, though.

[pdcorlis]

There certainly were some goof balls in there - but there were also some guys that sounded like they really enjoyed the freeedom they experienced.

I really had no problem with it. It's a nice idea for a good cause - no harm, no foul. St. Patrick's day will be on us soon and there are many of us in the area who will be kilted for the parades and then spend our time in various pubs or clubs. We field all sorts of questions and try to promote the kilt. It's always a great time. The video did show a lot of kilts do's and don'ts but I really don't think it was insulting. There may have been a lack of understanding but some of the guys really did a good job of dressing everything up for the day. That said, of course, at least half of them hung well below the knee and that is something I learned was a no-no the first time I came here.
