    Silly Facebook games

    I just started playing a Facebook game called Utopia Kingdoms. Not really sure yet if the game is worth the candle, but I do somewhat like the look of the human character:

    It's a shame that the dwarf isn't kilted.

    until we get people to accept the idea of a kilt in general isn't a little much to be asking them to get the details right???? I'll be honest, until I started wearing a kilt I had no idea that the pleats were so important....Just a thought.

    The kilt may not be back-to-front, but rather pleated all around, a style which would not be out of place in the 17-century Scottish Highlands.

    Then again, given the way the plaid hangs (up the chest, over the shoulder, and down the back, similar to the Braveheart "great kilt"), I suppose there is a good case to be made that it is back-to-front.

    Pleated around the entire circumference is/was correct for belted plaids (and even for the earliest "little" kilts). Or, perhaps you'd like to challenge Lord George Murray on the practice?

    Gesh, after I modeled for the avatar, you think they could have gotten it right?
    Oh well, at least they got my body correct.

    That is what I was thinking - pleated all the way around
