senator's son wears kilt

**Cawdorian** · 31st January 07, 11:52 AM

It's great that both he and his Senator father wear the kilt, maybe there are some sensible people in the U. S. Senate after all.

The buckler is a nice touch and doesn't even look garish as I would have thought.

He certainly knows how to wear a kilt well. And the girl ain't bad lookin' either.

I 'm not real wild about the horse hair bandsman sporrans they're wearing though! Doesn't quite look right

I was going to mention that, but I didn't want to sound like I was quibbling. Being a history major and buff, I find facts like that facinating, I love to discuss them.

And as far as the horsehair sporrans go, I kind of like the look. I wouldn't wear one unless in uniform--I don't think I would--because everyone would think I was too ignorant to know better.

But I wouldn't mind wearing one if it didn't look too . . . overdone.

Oh, I don't know if I would go that far.

If there were sensible people in the Senate, they would wear kilts more often.
