Men in Kilts contest

**Elf** · 29th March 13, 11:00 AM

So I get back from a business trip just in time to see a feature on the Seattle station's local talk show about the Men in Kilts contest to benefit a local charity. It featured an interview with Roger Levesque and Ian furness, both in kilts. So of course I had to look it up. I will try to link what I found.

I hope the rable find this interesting

Weird photos, to say the least. One guy appears to be wearing athletic cleats while brandishing a sword!

Well, if one chops limbs off all afternoon, the grass will get a mite slippery. Makes sense, really.

I can't wait until the THCD folks weigh in on this one, ... once they recover. They probably haven't been able to draw a breath, yet.

I kind of like the guy with only two votes (Jeff), because he looks a lot like me in a kilt, except his legs look better.

I think they are trying for "amusing" rather than "weird". The guy in cleats is a soccer/football player. I note that the American football player and the baseball player both wore more traditional looking footwear.

The overall feeling of the photos is wonderful, as is the charity. The outfits these guys are wearing, however, leave much to be desired...

At least it's for charity and showed kilts in a non-negative light....

*** to all the above. One may note my original post said "interesting." Traditional was likely not a priority for the project. Still I wonder if a little fashion advise could not have been employed and yet retained the sports references of the models. However, I do not yet have an answer to my own musing. All in good fun, eh?

Generally I agree with all this.

I would gladly have voted, however, for ONE guy who was properly dressed in a kilted attire, rather than as a costume accessory.

ALL those people, and NOT ONE of them wears the kilt in a manner in which I would wear it? Someone seriously dropped the ball here.

OK you guys.
Last year I did this because my boyfriends kid was in intensive care for 17 days following a skate board accident. His parents were zombies and the Ronald McDonald house gave them a place away from the hospital bed to sleep, eat, shower, do laundry, make phone calls and more while THEY were coming to terms with what their lives had in store for them. I never realized that was what the Ronald McDonald house was. I don't eat at McDonalds anymore so I couldn't donate at the site and saw this posted last year.
Personally, I voted for the ballet guy last year and probably this year just because what he is doing looks really hard with or without a kilt. You have to remember that the rest of these guys are "Willing" to don a kilt for charity.
Don't forget what they are doing is for a great cause and maybe someone in Seattle can guide them in the future.
