    Greg,

    The idea of even trying to compete with his Lairdship!

    His sartorial splendor would dazzle and blind all would-be challengers.

    Let us not give reason for his Lairdship to bring down the awesome power of "The Kollection" on us!

    You have been warned...

    Perhaps Hamish and Ancienne Alliance could be the judges. Hamish with his museum quality collection and Ancienne Alliance with his personal kiltmaker would have too much of an advantage to compete.

    Greg,

    To be serious

    I am not the biggest fan of such contests.

    We are all here because we like kilts (traditional and modern) and things Celtic. We aren't here to compete, we are here to share, learn, and laugh a bit in good company.

    It doesn't matter if you have 1 kilt or almost a hundred (yes, I'm looking at you your Lairdship! ). It doesn't matter if you look better than another one of the Ladies or Gentlemen on X Marks the Scot. It doesn't matter what kilt and kit you can afford.

    Here it's about you looking your best and feeling good about wearing your kilt.

    I started a thread here for all our members to post their own personal best picture of themselves:


    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/b...954/index.html


    There are lots of different takes on the kilt here, but I can honestly say that everyone who contributed to it looks great.

    These pictures are the ones that make each person feel good about themselves.

    And that's definately for the best!

    Cheers

    Jamie

    I too will not be taking part.

    I recommend that those who are eager to do so head over to http://www.hotornot.com/ or perhaps one of you with good HTML skills can create a kilted equivalent.

    Maybe it's an age thing to not be interested in this, but beauty certainly isn't the reason why I joined Xmarks. Kinship and camaraderie with those of similar interests IS -- and I see this as being counter intuitive to that goal.
