Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Colin]

Here we go again...

I didn't find this picture to be especially a "Kilt Don't". The model is wearing a modern kilt , not a traditional one. It is obviously designed to be worn longer, at the hips, without the accessories. I think he looks fine, he's ready to go out to the clubs and dance with some very hip young ladies to some Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Duran Duran... (I think I just dated myself, which would also make me an outdated dinosaur).

Would I want to wear that? N O ! I think the point of this whole thread has been to show people wearing things improperly or showing strange clothing badly presented as a traditional kilt. This picture does neither. It is what it is. If you aren't a fan of the look that is understandable. But I don't think it qualifies as a "Kilt Don't"

Lastly to all please drink your milk, eat a balanced diet, remember to call your Mother, try to be nice to one another, table manners do count, watch out for rabid wolverines carrying chainsaws, don't litter, please come to a complete stop at any posted Stop sign, always wait at least a half hour after eating before you go swimming, it's the thought that counts, Solyent Green is PEOPLE!,don't cross the streams,
file your taxes in a timely manner, friends don't let friends drive drunk, never show James Bond the self destruct button to your secret underground hideout, and Have a Nice Day !

My point was that it was not a poorly measured kilt as suggested, but was instead designed to look like it does. This is not the thread for "what is a kilt" and "what is not a kilt". If anyone wants to beat the skirt vs kilt subject don't do it on this thread.

So, is this going to be part of your new signature block??

Livingston,

I have thought about it. There is some really important good advice in there.
I just wish more people would follow it.

Sadly people being attacked by rabid wolverines with chainsaws is more common than you think.

In a recent government report by the Bureau of Diseased Large Dangerous North American Mammals Wielding Hand Held Power Tools (B.O.D.L.D.N.A.M.W.H.H.P.T.) states that every year an average of 3.5 people are killed by rabid wolverines with chainsaws. B.O.D.L.D.N.A.M.W.H.H.P.T. spokesperson Nathan Price said during his address at the September 2005 Western Biology Conference at Stanford University that “ 3.5 people is too many to lose to such a brutal scenario, especially the .5 part which is particularly nasty being that the average adult Wolverine can easily manipulate a 16” to 18“ MuCulloch.” Mr. Price went on to state that actual numbers of people being attacked by rapid wolverines operating chainsaws may be significantly higher than the B.O.D.L.D.N.A.M.W.H.H.P.T. estimates. Mr. Price concluded that “A lot of people don’t know about Attacked by Rabid Wolverine with a Chainsaw Syndrome (A.B.R.W. W.A.C.S.) They may assign the blood (and limb) loss, foaming at the mouth, and possible death to other phenomena such as contact with lead based paint, exposure to asbestos in their ceiling tiles, or weather balloons. “

I urge any of my fellow X Markers that think they may be suffering or have suffered from A.B.R.W. W.A.C.S. to contact the B.O.D.L.D.N.A.M.W.H.H.P.T. or go to their website nsa.B.O.D.L.D.N.A.M.W.H.H.P.T. /.A.B.R.W. W.A.C.S./http@.gov.org. and report the incident and/or symptoms. You are advised to remain at home until an member of. the bureau comes to interview you or your next of kin. Attacked by Rabid Wolverine with a Chainsaw Syndrome can only be defeated with A.B.R.W. W.A.C.S. awareness. Protect yourself, protect your loved ones. Get the information you need about Attacked by Rabid Wolverine with a Chainsaw Syndrome. Thank you .

While I think it is a skirt and not a kilt, I have to point out that it is actually a very high priced skirt sold by Neiman Marcus and this pic is from their online catalog. I am looking for the link (I have posted it here before), but they are a client of ours and I know this is from their catalog.

And if I recall, the price was @ $500US!

$500

For that much there better be some darned nice pleats in the back of that sucker!

Relax! The secondary source for the photo says it was only a mere $395 for the Juicy Couture kilt.

$500.00 or $395.00, I won't pay that much to look like a college girl on her way to class. That's a skirt, not a kilt.

To each his own, but for that price I can get a traditional kilt.

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Rex, thanks for tracking that down. I see on the Neiman site that it is not available right now which is why it did not come up on my search.

And I agree that if I am going to spend $395, I am getting a tank.
