Kilted one on Oprah

**kiltedsawyer** · 18th November 10, 09:38 AM

I saw a commercial last night for Oprah's show today featuring male make-overs. One of the men listed appeared to be a full time kiltie. Of course they didn't show the results, so I wonder if he's wearing pants now?

Cheers,
David

I'll have to see if I can find that one. I'm always interested to see makeovers. Good ones focus on reflecting the person, just in a better coordinated and mindful fashion. The bad ones usually tend to whitewash the person in whatever fashion style the person doing the makeover favors.

I'm guessing, from the "skirt" comment the designer makes during the "after" part of the ad that they put him in pants.

Why does a man in a kilt need to be "made over", he probably is already more well dressed than most. I will wait and see what the outcome is, but am ready to send out email.

Looks like the gentleman used to wear a trollopy utilikilt.

What a shame that they didn't outfit him in bespoke THCD...

Okay, so yeah, just turned it on, and it came on at that moment! Not that bad, wish he had stood up for the kilt a bit more. They told him to stay away from his wife's skirt. They asked him why the kilt. The town was all big kilt wearers, and he walked into the store one day. The guy asked him if he was looking for a kilt, he said no, the guy had him try one on, and well, it has been 9 years since he has worn pants. He has 16 kilts. He also said that kilts were "A big chick magnet." That elicited a loud yes from me, and a "not so loud," from my mom.

I just watched it. If not for this thread, I would never have changed it to that channel, because, well, it's Oprah.

Sad that the guy was treated like this, but at least he was a good sport. I'm sure he had to sign something, so he knew what he was getting into. I've never liked Oprah anyhow so there's no love lost.

He explained that he went to a kilt store in Seattle--Utilikilts I would assume--out of curiosity. The guy talked him into trying one on and he hasn't worn pants in nine years. What's wrong with that? I think it was his sister or sister in-law who contacted the show.

I have people in my family who think it's odd, but they wouldn't write to Oprah so she could pay somebody to dress me up like a mall mannequin.

I hope he went home, threw that stupid looking suit in the trash and put his kilt back on.

Agree. The suit was nice, for a person who likes pants. He could of dressed his kilt up a bit, just saying. He still looked nice in them. His wife had an amazing makeover.

It was his sister in law who got them to do it.

I don't think the suit should go into the trash. He should give it to someone who needs it, or something like that. Still, same idea. I doubt he will stay with pants.

Oh and right at the very end a past guest was bagging on the guy? What gives? They didn't carry on about the guy on after him who looked like he was homeless showing up in a stained t-shirt and holes in his jeans? Good gravy I hate that! She actually took the time to point the guy out again! I'm so glad her show is ending...too bad she has her own network and 24 hours to fill with stuff like this.

Okay...my rant is over. I feel better. Sorta.
