These skirts are not for women - Made in Seattle kilts offer macho fashion freedom.

Any one who's seen Mel Gibson in Braveheart in a Scots tartan knows a kilt is politically incorrect to the point of being a warrior's dress. Its not the same as silly trans-sexual cross-dressing where a man looks completely ridiculous in women's clothes and high heeled shoes. Trust me no wimpy liberal would be caught dead wearing a kilt. A kilt is made for REAL men and REAL conservatives. Mel Gibson's William Wallace is still my hero after all these years. He looks so masculine defending the Scots freedom in the face of the sissy female looking English!!! A Freepers' Guys' Kilt Brigade with bagpipes any one?? :-)

Okay, new rule: Sean Connery, Mel Gibson and George W. Bush are permitted to wear kilts. Otherwise, only genuine Scots may do it. That's it.

Re: #41...Ewwwwww! How could you?
What a limpy, two-timin', no good, unmasculine example of the male gender that Prince Charles is.

Ewwww! Blah. Somebody post another picture quick!

[.30Carbine]

Agreed! Find us a picture quick! Where's the Sidebar Moderator when you need him? We need that picture of Charles the Limp removed immediately for the sanity and safety of all coquettes in FReeperdom! (He also sets a very bad example for the men here, IMHO.)

[Billie]

Even better - the two of them TOGETHER in kilts! :^)

ROTF

It takes a real man to wear one.

[CheneyChick]

I know, I know. I debated whether or not to do it. I really wanted one of Prince William in a kilt, but couldn't find one. I'm sorry..... CC :(

[CheneyChick]

ROFL!! Too funny! Great expression on the Veep's face, too!

[.30Carbine]

Gracious explanation and apology most gratefully accepted. All is forgiven...just wish I could forget now!

[.30Carbine]

You are SO fast...and so good! What a coquette!

[TigersEye]

It's a man's own personal decision whether to wear anything underneath, Villegas said.

Aye, lassie, three cheers for personal freedom. The statement above has sound backing in the second and fourth amendmendments tewwwwww.

I think Sean Connery does qualify as a genuine Scot if only a mere lowlander.

My ancestry is nearly all Scottish, my Mother being a McDuffie, whose ancestors came from the Hebrides.

My Grandmother was a Morrison. I once mentioned that fact to the Morrison Clan at the highland games at Grandfather Mountain and they gave me a bunch of literature. Turns out the great one, was really named Marion Michael Morrison, and was naturally of Scottish ancestry. I bet he would have died rather than wear a kilt but would have looked great in one.

[tillacum]

Now this fellow can wear just about anything.

Good call, TigersEye. My wish for you and fellow Scotsmen/Cowboys/FReepers/Minutemen is that no "unreasonable searches and seizures" take place while the militia is enjoying its "free state." Of course, I understand that there are times in every man's life when a search and seizure seems quite appropriate...

Watch it. Nothing wrong with a kilt in your clan tartan. (I only missed being able to wear the Campbell tartan legitimately by a single generation, otherwise I'd have a kilt.)

As an aside, the importance of gender-distinctive dress is a staple of Eastern Christian tradition. Years ago on an Orthodox discussion list, the appropriateness of kilts in church came up, and there was a complete uniform concensus, among Scots converts, Russian Synod traditionalist and "liberals"* alike that kilts are quite suitable for Orthodox laymen in church. (Clergy wear cassocks.)

On the flip-side, one one occasion at Holy Virgin Cathedral in SF, where women in short skirts or pants are given floor-length modesty skirts, my daughter, wearing a traditional Chinese women's outfit which included pants and a mid-length tunic was not given a modesty skirt.

Leftist multiculturalism is a plague (and a potential fifth column since the war is on), and a lie, since it doesn't really respect cultural differences, but tries to remake all non-Western cultures in an anti-Christian leftist mold. Disrespecting real cultural variance among traditional cultures with values we conservatives share is not befitting an American conservative.

.

* Liberal in an Orthodox Christian context is still ultra-conservative in any American or Western context.

OK - this one will probably get the thread pulled - but it did appear in a newspaper....

[tillacum]

All us girls with a wee bit of Scot are here, DJ. Aw that Sean, ain't he one though.

So sorry the fellow, above, thinks this is pitiful thread.

My ancestors are from Skye and the Outer Hebrides, don't yet know which island. Saw a Presbyterian Church full of fellows that looked just like my dad, but was surfing channels and didn't get the name of the island.
