Looks like it's a Utilikilt-the "gateway kilt" as I call it.

Be well,

I've read all four books and seen the movie - OMG, I'm a 12 year-old girl!!!

We took the family to see the film of Twilight, and less than a week later my wife and daughter (11) went to see it again while my son and I watched The Day The Earth Stood Still (which, BTW was good, but not a patch on the original). Our son (15) has read the Twilight books.

I think the ladies are fixated on the guy who plays the lead male character, Edward. I can't even place which character this guy played! (Which is not good as it's only a couple of weeks ago I saw it). Probably my daughter could tell me. Apparently they all think he's hot as well.

As for the critique of the outfit, there was one poster on there called Chicklet who first mentionned that she didn't like his hat, and I'd have to agree, but I'd say he looks OK otherwise.

When it comes right down to it, I don't suppose he cares what other men think of how he's dressed, so our opinion isn't worth very much. Apparently the ladies who like him dressed like that far outnumber those who don't, which is what really matters, and a large number don't even care what he wears. I think one or two implied that his clothes were a bit mismatched, but who among us has never had a woman say that about us? If we're honest, they usually have a better sense of how to put clothes together than we do.

I didn't even notice the purse until someone there posted a comment on it. I would never carry one myself, but a large part of that is I know I would wind up accidentally leaving it behind somewhere with my money/keys/cash card, etc.

Or you're dating one. (My wife has been trying to make me read them, dragged me to the movie, got mad when I said it wasn't my favorite movie and liked a movie we had seen the previous week better.)

A lot of the kids at the school she teaches at are reading them, and her department is obsessed with the books.
