I HATE that word.

.......this is just me. It calls up to mind extremely wealthy and functionless, but formerly very pretty women wearing clothes that cost enough to discharge the debt of at least one African dictatorship, and wearing them once. It brings to mind a horrible image I have of a girl I knew in college, a ridiculously pampered and spoiled and obnoxious twit, from, no less...Beverly Hills, who when presented with a comment about how so and so didn't look very fashionable, snorted, stuck her nose to the heavens and declared "People in Santa Barbara don't know what fashion IS."...emphasis on the "IS", and the *snif*..

The word "fashion" when used to describe clothing that is in style at a particular moment, just calls up acres and acres of negative connotations....money blown on ridiculous garments that are grossly overpriced and purchased and worn by people without the slightest notion that they money they are squandering could work miracles, if spent with intelligence and a conscience. Say the word "fashion", unless you mean the verb... "He fashioned the sgian dubh out of the a block of bog oak and a high carbon steel blade."...or "fashionable" and my knee just jerks. Yuck.

Now...this is just me. Y'all got that? Just Me. My very own little personal eccentricity.
The "fashion" word -> jerk. Auto. Pow.

What does all this have to do with kilts? Well, kilts are currently "fashionable" in some circles..clutching My leg to stop the twitching....I don't care what's fashionable. I REFUSE to be fashionable. I'm NOT fashionable. Look, I own and WEAR a necktie with a picture of a saxophone on it. I might, if so moved, wear that necktie with my predator camouflage X-Kilt. I've been known to do worse, quite happily.

I wear kilts 'cause I like 'em.

End Rant. We now open up this section to counter-rants and judicious commentary.
