Our local domestic violence shelter held a fund raising casino night tonight. Since I'm on the board I was expected to show up...even though I was too good in math have any interest in gambling. I do own a Mirage jacket that I thought would add to the flavor of the event so wanted to wear that for sure.

So instead of choosing a kilt and dressing to that, I chose the jacket and had to find a kilt to go with that. My USA Kilts MacLean Hunting in semi-trad emerged as the best choice. Added an off green linen shirt, black kilt hose, and white garter ties to sort of match the white in the tartan.

Went with my custom L&M dress beaver fur sporran since I have so few excuses to wear it, but ditched the chain for a black sporran strap.

Couple hundred people there and the only comment I got was about my Navajo sgian dubh - which doesn't show in the pics. "Is that a knife?" from the husband of a coworker....yes, its a knife, a small knife, its called a sgian dubh etc. etc.





Not being a gambler I put all the chips they gave me on red on the roulette wheel and won. Quit and didn't win any auction bids but did get a silly little clock as a door prize. But hey, for a good cause. God knows our 32 bed shelter stays full and overflows into motel rooms most of the time. Rough country for relationships.
