Possibly the World's ugliest Tartan

Hey! I think that tartan is in Pleater's latest story, "Empire of Fashion."

It gives me the impression they were going for the "weathered" or "ancient" look. Looking at it through that lens, it doesn't look bad to me. I admit that I prefer less busy tartans, and more muted colors, but that isn't---to my eyes---ostentatiously ugly.

On Grant, in a thong, however . . . .

OOOOOHHHHHH

The colours, the stripes, the disorder and chaos of pattern - oh dear, I feel rather faint.

THUD

OOh mon Dieu, Erzulie, 'elp me, Madam Director - she 'as fainted.

Stand aside Fifi, I'll just fan her with this sample of blue and gold tartan and it will bring her round in no time. See, it has a perfect pattern repeat and a proper kilt selvage - now just put a cover over that screen before she sits up, and hide those dreadf

I would vote the "loud" McLeod at the tartan last on my list.

There are no ugly tartans, only those of clans you aren't a member of? (No accounting for tastes said Robbie as he kissed the coo).

Now who in their right mind would wear a wool thong. (Unless you are into scratchy)

Colour has nothing to do with it, itchy itch itch.

You could get arrested with all that itching.

I've never been a huge fan of Buchanan Ancient...

They all look like branches of the ancient Mc Picnic clan......

Correct, Jamie; Loud Mc Leod isn't really LOUD It's just kinda colorful? cheery? er yellow? really very, very,very yellow; like a banana & a stick of liquorice emerging from a blender......
