> [@Draelin](#): > > _sigh_ Damn you, laws of space and time. No way I can get to California in time to see the kilt. :mad: Well, I realize it’s not the same thing, but [here’s](http://www.sportkilt.com/shopping-cart.cfm?page=details.cfm&Product_id=10455&returnto=kilts.cfm) what the kilt looks like. (One of 'em, anyway.) I wish I could figure out a way to wear it with [**The Hat**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=300850), but that would just be silly, in a Boy George-sort of way. But then again, as I’ll be on my lonesome, who’ll care? Maybe I’ll wear it anyway. Stranger ---

Well, I’ll be sitting at home, drinking bourbon, dreaming of men in kilts. 🙂 ---

Well, I’m wearing [these](http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/1597954/c/378.html) shoes in hot pink but they’re my usual Monday shoes so I guess that doesn’t count. And tonight? I’m gonna go teach a bunch of people with no English ability whatsoever how to say “chair” and “table” and might even move on to the concept of “not” if I’m feeling ambitious. So romantic… 😉 ---

Okay, are you all ready for this…A white T-shirt, Dark blue basketball shorts, a knee wrap, an ankle brace, and ankle sength socks. I haven’t shaved for a couple of days and I have been taking some medication for pain… ---

Got my red kinda off the shoulder, kinda clingy sweater on with my drawstring khaki’s, black boots, black jacket and my fake diamond heart shaped necklace (probably the same one **kalhoun** has). Awww yeah, I’m a sexy bitch. ---

(One of 'em, anyway.) I totally almost bought one of those from these guys. But then I found something I like a bit better from a Scottish Ebay online store. I loved wearing it the one time. Need a reason to wear it again though. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > I totally almost bought one of those from these guys. But then I found something I like a bit better from a Scottish Ebay online store. I loved wearing it the one time. Need a reason to wear it again though. Well, it’s not a real kilt–I mean, it has a Velcro waistband for Og’s sake (though what comprises an actual kilt and whether, historically, there actually is such a thing as a kilt is another discussion entirely)–but it’ll fool the rubes and it is very convenient for changing into/out of swimming trunks or other exercise gear in the open, and keep things aired out so that the wearer doesn’t suffer from Couteau’s Complaint, which is why I originally bought them. Also, it’s very nice to throw on after you’ve made camp after hiking for 14 hours. I just wish they’d make it in wool or some kind of dense waterproof fleece instead of water-wicking cotton/polyester blend. Stranger ---

I’m wearing a pink, ribbed sweater and a pair of black slacks. I forgot to wear my heart-shaped earrings; oops. An aside: Many of the kids (I’m currently teaching 7th grade (the building houses grades 7 & 8) did come in wearing red/pink/hearts/all of the above - even many of the young men. I don’t recall it being such a big holiday when I was their age 13 years ago… ---

I’m wearing a black Hot Topic button up shirt, black pants, black ankle socks, and black shoes. Also a black leather jacket and black gloves. Why yes. Yes I am single. How did you guess? ---
