:confused: Now don't I look like a fool! so how many other people have been taken by the kiltday site in thinking it is for one specific day?

Bubba, I live in a very exclusive retirement community. They just did a 2.2 million dollar remodeling of the lobby. We have security officers that man the doors. There is a very strict dress code here. No ratty tatty clothing. No clothing with holes. Nothing with obcenities on it. No cross dressing. Nothing with the drug culture. (My dreadlocks have already been under strong suspicion) Nothing offensive. No running around in your nightgown or housecoats out in public areas like the gathering hall, lounge, laundry, beauty salon, the public kitchen, or the lobby. Or in the garden areas out back. Violations are met with eviction.

This is not some crappy hellhole public housing. I have a 1700 square foot apartment. Two bedrooms. A full sized living room. A kitchen. A long hallway. A pantry. Massive closets. A dining room. A small entry type room around the front door. There is a laundry mat in the building, and a health center with nurses and physical therapists. We will start having doctors in the health center soon. I waited a very, very long time to get in here. It is well maintained, kept very clean from all kinds of debris, (In more ways than one) and is one of the best places to retire around where I live. It's my home. And while some of the rules are a pain in the ***, it's made it a wonderful place to live.

All in all, I really shouldn't complain much.

You may have been fooled into believing there was one specific day for National Kilt Day, but please be assured, the constantly changing date at www.kiltday.com was not intended to embarrass you. It was set up to give "new guys" a weapon in their arsenal when they encounter people that can’t wrap their minds around the idea that kilts are both comfortable and acceptable for everyday wear by men.

It was not intended to “fool” you.. it was intended to “fool” your boss.. when you wear your kilt to work and he says, “Hey, what’s with the skirt?” You can do like others and first explain that it is a men’s kilt, then explain that it is Kilt Day. Send anyone that asks to KiltDay.com and they’ll believe you!

Then, maybe after they see it is not disruptive, that you can perform your job in a kilt and that you do in fact work in a professional environment where proper attire, such as a kilt, can be worn without any of the problems they may anticipate otherwise. I think employers that deny men the freedom to wear a kilt at work out of fear that it would be disruptive are clearly admitting the work environment is not professional enough and the employees are not mature or intelligent enough to deal with something that is even slightly different.

What they really need to understand is that it is NOT crossdressing, any more than women in pants are crossdressing. If women can do your job in a skirt, there is no reason you should not be allowed to do your job in a proper kilt.

If you have the courage, everyday is Kilt Day.

Motorman, I really meant that I had made a fool of myself, not in a bad way, by believing that there was a specific Kiltday each year. I basically came across Kiltday.com through another post and saw whatever the following day was as the "kiltday". I reviewed the site, lamented the fact that I had "missed" it this year, and went on to other sites and never looked at it again. Had I known the intent, I would probably already have forced the issue, not sure.

And everyday IS KiltDay, it is just that not every hour is right now!
