Ambush Makeover

**davedove** · 1st January 07, 08:42 PM

While visiting my folks for the holiday season, my momhad on the TV show "Ambush Makeover" where they approach people on the street and offer them a makeover. In one segment, they approached a man wearing a kilt and offered him a makeover. He declined, which is good because they probably would have tried to put him in trousers.

I wasn't watching closely enough to know what city it was in, but the man was wearing what looked like an Irish National tartan or something similar. He was bald and dressed very casually with sandals and a sleeveless t-shirt.

It didn't happen to be one of you guys, was it?

Morons! That's all there is to it. Only morons do those shows! Kilts are the most stylish and comfortable garments in the world!

Or, what would make them think a man in a kilt would WANT a makeover??? If he's in a friggin' kilt, he obviously has no interest in looking like what they consider "good." Good on that guy!

Hey, maybe he should done it. Tell them only if they use kilts and not trews.

Well that's a darn good point! Wonder if there were any kiltmakers in his town?

Maybe they could make him look better... A nice tank or a leather kilt, a Prince Charlie or like coat, a snazzy shirt, a dressier sporran.

Or maybe not.

Actually, it's MacIan, for my grandmother, who was a McKean. The tartans are almost the same though.

I'll admit the guy could have been made to look better, as he was dressed VERY casually. They could have given him a proper sporran, some nice boots, etc. Of course, the kilt would have still been there.
