Glad you had a good kilted day. Being that I am obese, bald and was never accused of being a pretty chap, flirtations and such from the ladies tend to really make my day as well.
I don't know if these ladies know how much good they do for the rest of the day when such an event befalls. I am just glad they see fit to do so. Behold the power o' the kilt.

Thanks for reminding me to add the Brittany tartan kilt to my wish list. Have a slew of ancestors from there who must have followed William The Conqueror (is that the right guy?) across the channel. My maternal uncle's middle name was Britt after that branch of the family tree which traces back to Thomas Brett b. 1535 in St. Clements, Hastings, Sussex
I remember Ham's kilt in the tartan and how beautiful it is. And thanks for the reminder on how different local cultures can be.

It really is a striking tartan.

There's also a Breton walking tartan in Ham's gallery which is even prettier....I "think" its on page 10 of his gallery.

A long time ago I compimented a women I did not know on how nice I thought she looked. I said something to the effect of " In case no one was told you yet today, you look wonderful in that great outfit" She ignored me for a minute then turned back to me and said "no, no one has told me yet. Thank you very much you made my morning" Anyway it put a smile on her face and it made me feel good too.

It's amazing, isn't it, how those little grace notes can just light up someone's day?

Looks like I'm in the right place, then!!
I wore my first kilt out for the first time this weekend. I asked my wife what she thought afterward, and she said I looked good. "Only a manly man can wear a skirt.", she said with a smirk. It was a compliment.
