This is in about 4 weeks, a week before the public opening.

    And no, I'm not kidding. Honest. Cross my garters.

    So.

    Great kilt and woad? Perfectly tailored Capercaillie, modern, navy blue Braemar and Waistcoat, with hand-knitted hose and gillies....and regimental tie?

    Bare-chested and feiliegh-beig belted, with cadadh stained with grass and mud and no shoes?
    I am completely jealous... working at PIXAR Animation is my ultimate dream job and that is the reason why!

    Alan, you have to watch the Brave "kilt trailer" for ideas!

    All kidding aside, my vote is for you to go stubbly, stinky and savage. Without being a caricature.

    We had a couple orders for accessories being delivered to individuals whose shipping address was in CA and had "Pixar" as the company name. Now it makes sense.

    If it's the same event as I'm making a kilt for, it was described to me as "Highland cocktail, interesting rather than boring.......!"

    Barb, do you make a highland cocktail out of whisky? If so, I could get on board with that!

    As for being stinky, and not being a caricature, that means I should go straight from work, right?

    I just meant that you probably don't want to show up in a tiny sailboat, your head grossly out of proportion, holding a clarinet and a caber, a cartoon sparkle on the less-hirsute part of your noggin, and a bubble containing the word "Ahoy!" floating above you. Damn caricatures.

    Sounds like a fun event! I'm a big fan of whisky cocktails and often make Manhattan's at home but apparently there are a ton of other one's for me to try that I wasn't even aware of:

    As for what to wear, I think my first choice would be dress according to the theme. Jamie suggested asking the organizers what they want you to wear but it sounds to me like they've already told you. You've been asked to bring Highland athletic implements to Pixar's Brave party, so basically dress like the characters do in the movie when they're throwing (as per the trailer).

    Second choice would be kilted Lebowski, straight from work Definitely skip the Tweedy Gentleman look for this one

    You can call it what you want but that's just Whiskey mixed with more Whiskey
