Kilts always remind me of bad sitcoms, or youve been framed type shows. as for me, i’m making it into one dressed in full LOTR stylee armour, complete with big ass sword. and a cape. and a big knitted hat that says ‘HARDEST’ on it. 😛 ---

Several years we had a gender-swapping party and waxed the legs of one of my straight male friends 😃 He had gorgeous legs after that! ---

Poor Bastard. Anyway, looks like I’ll be in the Arab in the black leather Cassock, then. The 24th is fine for me, and now that I’ve got a map and directions, I can barely wait! ---

That big hooded thing isn’t a cassock! Did he wear one at some point? I havent seen the film for years, might have to go rent it in that case. ---

**Dawne** we quite often seem to do a dopefest around september/october, so you’re in luck! 🙂 If you want an advance warning of what we get up to, and see some piccies, have a lookie [here](http://www.kat22.com) [sub](appologies it’s not finished yet…)[/sub] **Garius** , cheers, you’ve given me an idea of what to do with my spare time… 😉 oh, and by the way… **BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAA!** ---

Note to the Boys: in spite of all the detailed discussion of cross-dressing and fetish wear, I can’t speak for my gender at large, but it’s not kilts _per se_ that do it for me. Coming as I do from a long line of complete goofballs, and from a close-knit group of friends who are complete goofballs, I think it’s that there’s something very attractive and sexy about a guy who is secure enough in his masculinity to act like a complete goofball. In that regard, a kilt would be no different from a sari, or from a vintage tuxedo jacket worn with jeans, or anything else a bit off the beaten path. (Besides, let’s face it; men have been wearing various variations on skirts and dresses for a long time, and still do in many cultures, going back to the toga and much earlier. Why should it only be considered a tad weird now?) (Oh, and I second you on the fear of leg waxing. It’s evil.) ---

you can use that as a website name for this cartoon thang garius. Dawnedope sounds alright. if i’m still alive in september/october. I thought a cassock was like what monks and Sean Connery wore as well. or one of those things you sleep in in the garden. or is that a habit? whats the diff?

It refers to their entire dress code as opposed to say simply their headdress. Habit is in fact an old word meaning dress or attire. Good god, I’m full of useless facts aren’t I? ---
