Hey Lass, you know one thing you could do is to get a tartan that is exclusively Australian. I know there's an Australian Highland wear vendor with a number of really beautiful (and exclusive) tartans, but I can't remember the name. Maybe someone here can help! One way I get around the whole "wannabe Scot" criticism is to wear a kilt in my state tartan. Just a thought...
So- back on topic! I was in Best Buy today, and I walked by a guy who went all slack-jawed. I thought "Here we go- skirt comment incoming" and got a snappy comeback all ready. He seemed to gather his senses and said "Wow!! A guy in a kilt!!" I was not taken by surprise, luckily, and was quick witted enough to totally change my snappy comeback. I spun around in a circle said "Where?!? Where?!?!" He busted up laughing and his wife said "The one on your body!" with a grin on her face. Their kids asked what a kilt was, and Mom and Dad explained it to them, and I proceeded to elaborate on the specifics of tartan, an what tartan I was wearing- which, I might add, happened to be my Colorado state. So- fun day!
