Topless Kilting

Forgive the quality, using a webcamera so I have to be creative with the angle

Perhaps we can start some sort of X-marks Topless calendar?

A Topless Men of X Marks calendar?? I love it. A source of kilt money.

Imagine - porno in Bermuda!!

...or a great way to raise money for a charity that X Marks would want to endorse...maybe Kiva.

I'm sure we could find 12 kilted topless men to represent. The trick would be to find someone willing to donate the printing costs of a calendar. But I think you're on to something Ron....

I'm afraid the mosquitos in this part of Canada would LOVE to see me kilted topless! Such a big target!

I don't mind being topless, but the cries of "Beached whale!" get bothersome after a while...

You're all welcome to bare your chests in my backyard this summer, and then we can march to Parliament Hill, and retire to the Highland Pub in The Market! :-D Now THAT sounds like a positive step toward true kilt-freedom. :-D

Of course, we wouldn't be storming the Chateau Laurier for High Tea without our shirts, that would just be rude... Top-freedom has appropriate times and places which are needless-to-say, informal, but not exclusive of public view or solidarity parades.

This could be great, as women can go topless in our town here, so why shouldn't a bunch of kilties!
March on!

Where do you live and what is tourism like this time of year?

Of course, finding a man who can accept a gal who is a bit flabby as well is even more difficult!

Kudos to you lads who can do what makes you comfortable!

Cheers to you lassie! Unfortunately (for you), I've already found my life-mate; but, rest assured that if you're still looking, there are certainly more men like me who value their women for more than their conformity to prevailing society's (unreasonable) standards of 'beauty', out there.

After all, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." No one should be afraid to bare themselves among their fellow humans, and least of all before a mirror, in the pursuit of simple comfort. Body image is fundamental to self-esteem IMHO. With sufficient self-esteem, the rude comments of others should bead like water on a duck's back. I don't need to see you to know that you are a beautiful person.

By extension, I feel the same way you do about people who are comfortable in their skins despite not being models of athleticism; therefore, I'm confident that if you work on your own self-esteem in that regard you will doubtless attract others of a similar ilk (among the usual hordes of degenerates).

By all accounts, tourism here in our Nation's Capital (Ottawa), is significantly down this season... Perhaps we should advertise our march in advance! I wonder if the National Capital Commission (NCC) or Ontario's Tourism Board would be interested in promoting it?

Like Adam said, Women have won their right to 'Top Freedom' here in Ontario thanks to the intrepid efforts of Gwen Jacob back in 1996. Nonetheless, Ontario bears no general resemblance to a proverbial "bead-party on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during Mardi Gras"---not that that would offend me if it did---neither would it particularly excite me either... Bodies are bodies.
