So, I did it.

I am a resident assistant here at school, and I am obliged (*cough *cough *forced*) to helpt he freshmen move in. And, what better way to welcome them, than kilted?!

So, I donned the kilt, my sporran, and went at it. Got a lot of compliments, "Do you play the bagpipes?", "Are you Scottish or Irish?", and only one skirt compliment. Plus I made a car full of girls stop, gawk, and whistle.

Just thought I would share. I am very happy, and now jonesing for the finishing of my x-kilt even more (pics of that to come sometime soon, I hope).

Looking good.
Congratulations to you.
My fiance was an R.A for a long time. You have my sympathy.

Congrats!
Looks great!

(I'm a bit envious... wish I could get females to stop, gawk & whistle... under any circumstances! LOL)

It sounds like you had a "fun" day.

Sounds like you had a good time wearing it. Use the kilt to its full potential.

Congratulations! What a way to start - and, as you have heard from others and now discovered for yourself:
kilts get people talking

Word. I joined a womens' cycling forum at the urging of my wife. She was always talking about how much fun it is, etc.

I use the word kilt in my user name and guess what has become the topic of conversation? I've got two kilt discussions going on with a bunch of women and one man. One woman has declared it "Kilt Day" and many of them are trying to convince the other man to buy a kilt and post photos after I posted the one of me in my UK doing the captain morgan.

Well, everything went good Saturday...

I decided to go kilted to our "WyldTyme" event on Sunday night. (A bunch of games, with local businesses suppling prizes). Before the event, we marched through the dorms with a megaphone screaming about the thing. But I show up kilted, and I'm met with the expected stares, giggles, and eye rolls--all stuff I can deal with...

Then I go to give one of my friends a hug, and she says, "No, no, sorry...I don't want to claim you."

I don't know if it was my fatigue, or what, but that cut DEEP. So deep that I went back and changed into pants. And now the girl just acts like she has "saved" me from something. Any advice?
