In Your Face Kilting

[Riverkilt]

I know there are many reasons men choose to wear a kilt, and many types of kilts they choose to wear...and a huge range of acccessories to go with their kilt(s)

These thoughts are adapted from a different world than kilting - but I liked what they said and adapted the thrust.

"Wearing a kilt for me is about refusing to be invisible. I dress expressly to draw attention and thereby make a statement that I am not to be ignored or dismissed. Sometimes, in a more aggressive vein, that I am fully capable of messing your mind up in a kilt. My purpose is to mess you up mentally by crashing through your expectation of how a man is supposed to present himself to the world.

My statement to other men is to forget the expectations of the system and kilt up. Clothing should showcase your body and your style. If you feel good in kilts then wear kilts. Never be afraid to kilt up and never assume a kilt cannot work for you.

Our style is how we present ourselves to the World. Our kilts say something about us. And certainly kilts draw people who like what they see."

I kilt up for myself. However, I enjoy the negative reactions as much as I do the positive. I admit that I enjoy shaking things up a bit.

It's funny--on Facebook I have friends who were completely dumbfounded when I first started wearing it, now they express admiration at my colossal balls. I try to explain that my physical attributes are completely average...all it takes it the will to be yourself.

For once I have to say (and it pains me).... Very well said, Lit!

Ron I love what you just said so much I just postred it to my Facebook "in first person".
Thank you

I did too. Brilliant!

Now doesn't this make one think. I agree wholeheartedly. I personally think you all look exceptionally elegant & proud in your kilts. Show off who you are, head high, shoulders back, look folk in the eye & celebrate your heritage, after all it is who you are. I have several tattoos, had them for over 30 years, talk about people judging one by their appearance. Gentlemen wear your kilts, more power to you all.

It ain't mine...just stole/adapted/made minor changes to something I found...seemed to fit.

Posted to Facebook also a few minutes ago, prefacing it with

"As a shinobi (or ninja if you prefer) our training stresses the ability to blend in, be inconspicous and effectively invisible, not only in combat where even someone directly observing your actions can't understand what just happened, but socially and otherwise too, being a "grey man" people don't really notice.

But sometimes it's also important to be able to stand out, to "command attention". In that vein, I rather like this bit which a member of the xmarksthescot forum posted today:"

4 "likes" already in about a minute and a half.
