Hidden meaning in garter flashes
While walking around Ann Arbor Michigan on Boxing Day, an older gentleman approached me at a cross walk and proceeded to tell me that, as he had told other people moments ago, it was the ribbons on my socks that made it "morally" acceptable for a me to be walking around in a "skirt" in public. A simply replied that they where effective in holding the hose up and proceeded to cross the street. I never knew it was so easy to be morally acceptable  .
By the way, Ann Arbor is where I first observed people waking around in canvas kilts. Although I had considered purchasing a kilt while in Scotland a few years back, this is what motivated me to start to research kilts as practical male garments. Ann Arbor is diverse and this just helps to show that pluralism is alive and well.

Ufda-did you get him to elaborate on *why* the flashes afforded you moral acceptability? I believe I'd have enjoyed hearing this one.
Bryan...immoral in hiking boots and smartwool socks this past weekend (or perhaps simply amoral)...

LOL! I'd like to know why flashes give moral acceptability myself. If the gentleman doing the explaining had seen me today,he would probley have been too shocked to say anything. I was wearing my Blackwatch Stillwater,blue soccer sox,NO FLASHES and a blue clergy shirt with collar.

It probably has something to do with holding our stockings up and keeping us from revealing our calves. You know how erotic that can be...

That's right! One must not show too much leg for it will cause impure thoughts in the womenfolk!

Prolly has something to do with the so called "relegious" controversy of men in women's clothing. I get two ears full of the bs every time I attend my out-law's church, I usually just look at the priest and gently remind him that his robe is very skirt like. This from a church that was going to re-name god a few years back. 
On the moral side, what about Sherry's polished (or mirrored) flashings? That woulda set the guy on his head.

Hidden message in Flashes
Oh dear, does not wearing garter flashes really detract from the macho look? I prefer to wear elasticated garters hidden below the turndown of the hose, without flashes, as I always think flashes are ostentatious and I would normally only wear flashes with my Cunningham kilt and evening sporran. I've always thought wearing hose made the kilt look macho, without needing flashes for legitimacy. Maybe this explains why a pair of black flashes was included with my all black kilt.
