    I said no ...

    I was approached last earlier this week to be an extra in an indie film with Emilio Estevez but I declined when the casting guy said I would need to bring two sets of dress clothes. I told him I have one pair of Dockers somewhere and they're black, a color they didn't want (along with red and white so as not to draw attention to the extras in the background), I did offer to wear one of my kilts of course.
    His eyes lit up and he offered to bring extra clothing but I have a sexy kilt contest that day anyway. Turns out he's s Scot and handsews kilts. He took my measurements and said I would have a County Down 5 yarder by St. Patty's Day (County Down, Ireland of course) AND he wants me in the next film shooting in March, said I would need to bring two kilts for that ...
    All I need to do now is pick which one besides the X Marks to take along with me

    Cangrats on scoring a new kilt and landing another gig.

    I just went to look at the County Down tartan, and it's a killer. I really like that orangey-brownish look.

    I've looked at that tartan too. My Gordon forbears dwelt in County Down for about 100 years before emigrating to America around 1750

    Your family might have known my family. They were in County Down for 100 years or so before emigrating to Canada around the same time.

    I checked out that tartan before ordering a kilt for my wedding. I HATED it.


    BTW - Congratulations, CT. That sounds like a lot of fun.
