My new kilt...with a touch of Korpiklaani (Modern)

**Celt_GravityRebel** · 16th May 11, 06:07 PM

I got a brand-new kilt. It's an acrylic Wallace tartan kilt from Stillwater Kilts. Not only do I find the kilt very cool, but I also have an awesome Korpiklaani shirt (it's an awesome band.

). I saw a deer skull and my family and I thought it'd be a pretty sweet idea to do this.

By the way, I didn't kill the deer, the skull was a gift from somebody. I didn't kill a deer just to make a sporran from its head. I'm not an inhumane person, I just live in a household of amusing ideas

and random animal skulls just laying around.

I'll be the first to say it: that skull won't gain you any friends when it comes to slow-dancing.

Very true, but I don't have to worry about it too much since I can't dance.

But with that skull, I have an excuse not to dance.

And you WANT an excuse not to slow dance, with your arms around some babe and holding her tight against you while you move slowly against one another, and....

Of course Mum & Dad might be just as happy if you DIDN'T do that....

Its amazing what we will do----even dance------when the right girl, well perhaps not the right girl, but a pretty girl, comes along!

Ah Jock, but we may not know she's the right one until after a few dances.

While I don't personally love the skull sporran, I'm also not 16 anymore, either- It's a cool look FWIW.

The one suggestion I'd make is to get some taller, chunkier socks to scrunch down. Carhart makes some wonderful padded sole socks that, if pulled up, come to mid-calf. When scrunched down you get a nice look.

either of these are GREAT when you're on your feet all day (or night)

Keep rockin' the kilt, and it WILL pay out for you.

Thats pretty tight. Maybe if i get a deer again this year i will try to pull something like that off.

(I hunt for the meat not the sport in case anyone is cringing.)

Celt_GravityRebel: I like the whole outfit, but would probably opt for squished-down hose with those boots. My son wants his next kilt to be a Wallace Red. It looks great on you and with the shirt. I'll show him your pics. Thanks for posting them.

As for dancing, definitely try it slow. Don't let the skull stop you. Just do what all athletes do - slide it over to the side on your hip and go for it! For safety though you might want to put rubber stoppers on the antler points. ;-)
