I finally did it!

[macsim]

Well guys, I finally did it. I wore my kilt to my new job today. I must say, it went over very well indeed. From my supervisor, "You da man!" I got "the question" from several women. One young lady threw her mirror down at my feet. Total strangers would say "Nice outfit!" as I walked down the hall. One lady said, "Come here and sit beside me so I can look at your legs!" There were some who had historical and genealogical interest. I started there 10/31 but I met more people today than I have in all the previous weeks combined. They'll remember "that guy in the kilt" from now on. It did raise a question though....if I were a woman and men made some of the comments I heard today to me, they would've been subject to disciplinary action. Not that I minded! The attention was nice and I'll certainly do it again but it certainly allowed me to walk in someone else's skirt. Merry Christmas everyone!

All that attention is somewhat addicting. Once people get used to the kilt and no one notices any more, it's a little disappointing.

It's kind of funny tho - first you dread the comments, then you miss them.

Glad it went so well! Looks like you had a comfy work day!

[Southern Breeze]

Congratulations! It appears you had an excellant day.

[Steeplechase]

Alright! Everyone needs good day at work, and it sounds like you did.

[Robin]

Very nice!

[mbhandy]

Watch out, those compliments do keep comming.

MrBill :-P

Hey who is that guy in a kilt, looking so dapper?

I also noticed that he is the only one at his desk.

Well done!

[Sherry]

Good for you! You are right about the inequality of treatment, as the guys have discussed here before.

[Alan H]

Hey, yeah....Nobody else in the department is at their desk. Are you the only one getting any work done? LOL

[Riverkilt]

A sharp look!

My response to those questions, like what are you wearing under the kilt, from women is just what you said, "If I asked you that question when you were wearing a skirt I'd be fired and arrested." I just say it matter of factly and calmly. They blush.

I had a lesbian coworker ask how I managed the kilt if I had to take a BM...amazing...said the same I'd be fired and arrested if I asked you that...she didn't much care.

Keep on kilting. Looks like you sit for a living like I do. Much more comfortable kilted. With a positive reception like that sounds like you have the freedom to be kilted every day now :grin:
