    Dee,

    I do like the idea of wingtips, even though it is a casual affair, and also suggest red flashes (again if you have them).

    You definetly will be the best dressed man in attendance, you charmer you.

    Well last night went extremely well. We had a very nice time attending way to many parties. However, that being said my kilt was warm, comforable and got me quite a few compliments. The pics did not turn out as well as I had hoped but I did send a copy of the best one *yes, only one) to both David and Matt in case they want to post it on their sites. I'm not sure that I 'm going to post here until I get some better pics over the holidays. I'm not that vain about my appearance but I want the pics to show their products in the best light.

    The oddest thing that happened to me all night was I walked up to a group of people and was introduced. Instead of getting the "Are you from Scotland?" question or "Where are your bagpipes?"...what I actually got from one of the Parrish Priests was "You must be from the Western Carolinas). That was a new one and I was rather floored as it was dead on. The only thing I can think is 1). He heard what's left of my southern accesnt earlier while ordering at the bar and 2.) He knows a bit of colonial history.

    Very interesing (and fun) evening.

    Love those questions that seem off the wall.

    I can understand the picture dilemma you are in. I wouldn't worry about it, but you are getting that from this Luddite {grin}

    Dee,

    Glad you had a good night! Maybe the priest was just familiar with kilts and recognized the tartan!

    And go ahead and post the pic. I would love to see a kilt in the Carolina tartan.

    Well Blu, we did not ask about Dee's activities after the party...

    That Carolina District tartan is beautiful. I wear black wingtips with my kilts also when I want a more dressy casual look. Great picture.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    The pics did not turn out very well - too dark mostly but here is an acceptable one. (Sweater looks white but it's really cream to match the hose.)

    That's okay, the hose look white too! ;-)

    Truthfully, the pic looks great.
