What happens in Vegas...

[California Highlander]

...shows up on the internet eventually.

While I'm no Zardoz, I did meet a mermaid. Note that this was at an vendor hosted event, my second of the evening after visiting a speak easy. The beverage in my hand (no, beverage, not mermaid!) should help explain some things. Well, maybe the mermaid too. Also there had been dancing....so, the kilt is a bit low, just barely showing the bottom of the knee, the sporran is wide open, etc. Please believe me when I say I adjusted everything after this picture.



Wore the kilt most of the time in Vegas, positive comments all around, from men and women. One of my coworkers said that a woman server kept looking at my legs while we were in the buffet line. Another time we passed by some 20-something guys in a casino and one made a skirt comment and his friend pushed him and very seriously said "that's a kilt you idiot!" Definitely got some questions, all positive. Also, there is no way some of the women I hung out with would have talked to me had I not been wearing a kilt. I just am not that good looking, witty, or rich, so the power of the kilt again does its magic. There was at least one other guy at the conference in a utility-type kilt and another guy said he'd brought his and might wear it. Another guy said he had a running kilt.

Airport in and out no issues. No sgian either! Woman TSA agent going out started up a conversation about tartans and kilts then directed me to the shortest line. She's a Buchanan. Coming back a female TSA agent at Vegas was very excited about my Black Watch, said she has a ladies suit made out of it that she bought in Scotland and was raving about the quality of the wool, how it doesn't itch, etc.
