My children are big Harry Potter fans as well.

She is quite the attractive lass.

Yes she sure is.

I've seen pics of Jk before, and I always thought she was an attractive lady, but that outfit on her is great.....

I agree that she is indeed one of the nicest accessories for a kilt.

I think it bares repeating that he is doing pretty much everything right. Kilt looks like its a good length, no belt with the vest, hose are pulled up, etc. Ok so the sporran is a little low and his hair and beard could use some help, but really he deserves a lot of credit. If for nothing else than letting someone who knows what they are doing dress him, or taking the time to get it right.

Shouldn't that be "bears repeating"? Otherwise it would be "baring repeatedly."

Back on track - it's already been mentioned that it was windy. That explains his mussed up beard and hair, and her legs, er, dress. It also accounts for his "long kilt" and "low sporran" - he's bending away from the wind, causing the kilt and sporran to hang lower in front than if he was standing straight.

Wow! She is gorgeous! I’m having a very difficult time focusing on the kilt, I wonder why? I’ve just gained a greater appreciation for Harry Potter. Even at sixty I can still appreciate such things.

He's a native Scot. It's not like trying to convince an American that he is wearing the kilt wrong. If you wear it wrong there, you are very likely to hear about it, especially in the media.
Anyone remember Richard "pleats in the front" Branson

or Jack "pinstripes on Tartan Day" McConnell

I guess there have been worse mistakes

....how could the guy put the kilt on backwards?!?!

On a bad morning I have a hard enough time being coordinated enough to buckle the darn thing with the apron facing forward. There are times that I have to wait for a few cups of coffee before getting dressed. But how in the world do you buckle these things on backwards?

Welllll....maybe Branson was running for a bus and the whole thing got sort of twisted around....and when he got on the bus he was so busy digging in his sporran for change that he didn't notice....

....like that could happen!

Best
