Adding accesories to the Scottish-American tartan

**NewKilt** · 14th September 06, 04:08 PM

I wore my Scottish-American 5 yarder a few days ago, and after returning from my walk in the park, I scraped the top of my bald head while getting out of the car. Since it was bleeding, a grabbed a Kleenex tissue, held it on the scrape and sat down it the recliner for a little TV.

I fell asleep for about an hour while sitting there, and after awakening, i grabbed a soda and went out to the back patio for a little fresh air. The lady next door was out with her 1 1/2 year old. When I said hello she looked at me a burst into laughter. Ah yes, I was proudly wearing the scrunched up Kleenex tissue that had become glued to the top of my bald head while I was napping. It was a light blue color that matched quite well with the light blue stripes in the tartan. And since it had sort of fanned out like a peacock fanning his feathers, it had little red spots on it that matched the red stripes in the tartan.

For some reason I seem to pick up these extra accesories now and then when wearing the Scottish-American tartan. Perhaps it's my Irish side unconsciously rebelling. Just to be on the safe side, I'm going to start doing 360's in the full-length mirror before I go outside while wearing the Scottish-American.

I have no clue what to say about that. That is one accesory I haven't tried.

And don't think I want to. At least you're working on differnt looks

That's funny. I guess it wasn't long enough for the blood to turn that gnarly brown... which means you didn't konk out for too long.
Where'd you get the Scots-American 5 yarder? Was it from scottishkilts.com?
They seem to be having an "end of season" sale, and the price for a number of kilts are looking very tempting at this point!
You could PM me with details so I don't hijack your thread w/ questions... that is, if you feel like answering at all.

Just ouch though... I have bashed my head a few times, enough to draw blood, and it always stings like hell... not the oh man, I'm gonna sit down 'cause I'm in pain, but the "what the hell" get angry at yourself for being clumsy time pain.
