The Dreaded Annual Halloween Kilt Thread - 2009

[CDNSushi]

To be perfectly honest, and with no offense intended to Panache who started this thread, I think this thread is a bit of a waste of pixels... There are very few costumes, in my opinion, that incorporate a kilt into it (without using the kilt AS a costume), the way Panache illustrated (beautifully, I might add). There were a few sparse examples sprinkled through the first couple pages. but since then, I've seen very little (read: nothing) in 9 pages that makes this thread anything even remotely close to what teh OP was intending... All I see are multi-page discussions on the historicity of the holiday and how people celebrate it, while all interesting, contribute absolutely nothing to the intent of this thread.

While I would personally LOVE to contribute to this thread other than whining, believe me, my mind is drawing a complete blank in trying to think up costumes that might incorporate a kilt the way Jamie did, without it being a costume piece... The reason why Jamie's costume works so well is because we can imagine a Scottish butterfly collector, and whether he were wearing pants or a kilt, the effect would have worked equally well, IMO.

There was a person last year who mentioned a costume of a demon/devil with a kilt and the tail coming down from under the kilt. Now that would be something to see.

That would be cool, and my kilt is just the right color. I may have to "call in sick" for Halloween...

How the heck does that holster stay attached to the kilt?

I think the fact that it is a comic has a lot to do with it.
