The Dreaded Annual Halloween Kilt Thread - 2009

[LANCER1562]

I once attended a Halloween party right after work so I was wearing a suit and tie and carrying a brief case. When I was asked why I wasn't wearing a costume, I told them I dressed as the scariest thing you could imagine... an IRS auditor. Now, show me your books. Both sets. lol

The intent of this thread was to discuss Kilts and Halloween in a positive manner. Introducing religion is against our rules and will lead to shutting this thread down.

Please stay on the original topic.

I will be on a Disney cruise with my family and, as I will be kilted for the captains Dress Dinner, I will probably also wear the kilt for Halloween rather than take another "one night" outfit just for that. Disney also has some pretty strong restrictions regarding propriety of costume---nothing scary, bloody, dead, or anything even remotely resemly a weapon of any sorts (I guess no sgian dhub needed then).

Here is how I went to class in a kilt last Halloween. This year Halloween is a Saturday so no professors wandering around dressed as pirates or druids or even more disturbing things.

I'll be kilted on October 31, but not for Hallowe'en. My daughter is getting married that day, on Mau'i!

To be perfectly honest, and with no offense intended to Panache who started this thread, I think this thread is a bit of a waste of pixels... There are very few costumes, in my opinion, that incorporate a kilt into it (without using the kilt AS a costume), the way Panache illustrated (beautifully, I might add). There were a few sparse examples sprinkled through the first couple pages. but since then, I've seen very little (read: nothing) in 9 pages that makes this thread anything even remotely close to what teh OP was intending... All I see are multi-page discussions on the historicity of the holiday and how people celebrate it, while all interesting, contribute absolutely nothing to the intent of this thread.

While I would personally LOVE to contribute to this thread other than whining, believe me, my mind is drawing a complete blank in trying to think up costumes that might incorporate a kilt the way Jamie did, without it being a costume piece... The reason why Jamie's costume works so well is because we can imagine a Scottish butterfly collector, and whether he were wearing pants or a kilt, the effect would have worked equally well, IMO.

There was a person last year who mentioned a costume of a demon/devil with a kilt and the tail coming down from under the kilt. Now that would be something to see.

That would be cool, and my kilt is just the right color. I may have to "call in sick" for Halloween...

Well I give a hint for this year's Halloween costumes for me and my lovely wife


Think Shakespeare!*
