The London Gathering 8/9 September, 2007

[gilmore]

I liked Alistair MacKenzie's sporran....maybe for Valentine's day (red and white colors) or Santa Claus/Father Christmas in a kilt. Ho ho ho

And then there is University of Georgia, with its read and black colors....

What I want to know is, where did they find a horse with a tail that red? Do they breed them that way now?

[Retro Red]

I'll be another "neigh"-sayer to those horse hair sporrans!

As for the Guilty Kilts... well, they're well named as they're guilty of a number of infractions against good taste. The camo kilt is OK, but that overall kilt... & those tiny sporrans must be simply decorative as they look too small to hold anything more than a set of keys. And no wonder the 2nd lad from the left looks so unhappy between that teeny, off-centered sporran, his kilt pin on the wrong side of the apron & his kilt being too long!

The following verse from The Kinks' "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion" seems appropriate in this context.

And when he does his little rounds,
Round the boutiques of london town,
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

As usual, Hamish, you are the model of kilted decorum.
