    My Sunday.

    Went to a couple stores on Sunday, a store called Garden Fresh Market (fresh produce and whatnot) and the other i'll get to in a moment.

    At the produce store, no comments, just interesting looks from people.

    The real story from Sunday came when i went to a local mall for a Valentine's Day gift for my wife. She, like most women who have had two kids, doesn't think she's as hot as I, her husband, know she is. So I decided to go to Fredericks of Hollywood to get a little something for her to remind her. Unbeknownst to me, the mall stores opened at Noon. I got there at 11:45 and sat on a bench. Plenty of time for stares and looks from passersby. The teeny-boppers waiting to get into a shop where they do hair and nails; the guy in the ballcap walking with his girlfriend who gave me the uncomfortable "sup, man" as they walked by.

    Then it really hit me: I'm going into Fredricks of Hollywood kilted. All I could think about where the teenagers and what kind of smartass teenager I was. Like "What would I have said about the guy in the (percieved at the time) skirt going into the Lingerie store?" FULL ALERT: PREPARRE FOR SMARTASS COMMENTS!



    But there were none.



    Was a good day.

    I'm guessing that the guy that said, "'Sup, Man" probably wanted to ask you about the kilt.

    From my experience, "sup, man" from a young teen translates into "your pretty cool, for an old guy"!

    You've got a big set if you went into Fredericks of Hollywood in a kilt!!! I have trouble walking by that place without blushing....... or looking.

    That's too funny, but at the same time, why should it even matter. A kilt is one of the most manly items of clothing a lad could wear. Going into a store like that only proves how much more of a man you are and an even further hit with the ladies.
