For the Good of the Cause

There I was last night...new kilt, matching flashes and tie, freshly modified jacket all at the department soiree. Several comments and one wife saying she wanted to get her husband a kilt. What more can I say? Also impressed more than one by using my new sgian don't on more than a few bottles. Best of the season to all KILTIES.

I don't know about "advancing the cause", but in the morning I'm to pipe my annual concert at the State Veteran's Nursing Home; great pipes in the mess hall, then smallpipes for the shut-ins in the infirmary. One of the toughest gigs I play, when I see those old heroes start to cry.
Immediately thereafter, our local brewery is hosting their annual Christmas party; besides Christmas tunes, I'll pipe their march; "The Dunedin Brewery March".
Monday evening is the Legion Christmas party, where besides posting and retiring the colors, I'll pipe a concert with veteran pipers of the 48th Highlanders, Toronto Scottish, and Royal Highland Regiment, both dear friends and the best pipers I've ever had the privilege to march with. Hopefully, two of our former post commanders will be able to attend; one a Hurricane and Spitfire pilot, the other a highly decorated Chindit and SAS from the 42nd. Afterwards, we'll go next door and give the American Legion a tune or two.

Well, yesterday a male student showed up at my high school sporting an olive UK. As a preemptive strike I mentioned to the administrative team that there was nothing in the dress code prohibiting this and that the "disruptive" clause certainly didn't apply as he was sharply dressed. He left at day's end without incident, much to my relief.
This is the first kilted student I've seen in years. I choose not to wear kilts to school, but regularly appear kilted on workdays, the prom, Christmas parties, etc., so the faculty and administration knows that I'm an advocate, and senior enough not to be trifled with.

Imagine a kiltmaker with a sales force of enticingly clad attractive women roaming the streets to convince men to buy kilts, complimenting them on how masculine and handsome they look kilted, encouraging to just try one on over their pants then having them drop trou to feel the freedom like the UK vendors do...

I'd like to volunteer for that job.

I'd like to volunteer for that job.

Whereabouts in the UK do they do that Riverkilt? I'll get down there right away.
Oh and Red Lioness if you get the job be sure to let me know where you will be too.
