Do you ever just NOT want the attention?

[gilmore]

I always tell nosey strangers that I am a transvestite. It helps in clearing out seating around me.

However, last time I used this was when Turpin, Ben and I were at a bar. A woman asked if we were Scots.

Me: "No, we are transvestites."

Her: "No, you're not. I'm from San Francisco. I know better."

Me: "We're Scottish transvestites."

Me: "We're Scottish transvestites."

Wouldn't Scottish transvestites wear trousers?

I used to have a lot of trouble being social, and wearing a kilt has helped with that because I have to be ready to deal with random strangers asking questions and trying to start conversations. So while I would usually prefer to be invisible, I have grown a bit because of the unwanted attention.

Unfortunately, I am now so known for the kilt that when I have to wear something else I get even more attention due to its absence.

One of these days I might just get a shirt made that says "For the love of God people, just leave me alone!" on both sides, just to see if it works.

I don't notice the attention that I get from people any more. I have learnt to ignore them in the crowd. I don't mean to be rude, but I rarely make comeback to comments from strangers. I just ignore them and walk.

Having earphones help me to ignore the world.

If it were only that easy for me... Still, the few times I do wear the kilt, I don't mind the positive attention, and do my best to ignore the negative.

And now that I think about it, it is a little strange feeling to post a picture and there are no comments, negative or positive... Just the sound of crickets...
