Hey, I'm going to be seen on TV in a kilt!!!

Myself & several other kilted gentlemen will be featured on Arizona Midday tomorrow. Arizona Midday airs each weekday from 11:00 to 12:00 MST on Channel 12 KPNX-TV here in Phoenix. Tomorrow's program features our local kilt rental emporium, Arizona Kilts, whose owner, Graeme Niven, asked me & several other guys to model some of the different kilt outfits he has available for rent. As I understand it, the impetus for the show is not only the increasing popularity of wearing kilts instead of tuxedos for weddings, but to show average guys (like me) who choose to wear kilts regularly. I'll be in an American National tartan kilt w/ Jacobite shirt & a Frontier jacket, what Graeme calls his "Braveheart" outfit, so, besides a sgian dhu, I'll also be wearing a dirk & holding a Claymore sword. With all this weaponry, you might say I'll be on the "cutting" edge" of fashion!

There'll also be some bagpipes, drums & Highland dancing on the show.

Graeme wants to point out that kilts aren't just for Scotsmen & special occasions, but that they can & are being worn by average guys for everyday wear. (What a concept!)

If the show goes well, there may well be a follow-up program later in the year.

I hope to be able to post some pics Thursday or Friday (& maybe even a video?).

If you're in the Arizona area & pick up this station, try to tune in & give some positive feedback to the station so hopefully they'll do some more coverage on kilts.
