    Yeah, its a really nice kilt. I didn't get around to taking any pictures yet though. I forgot my camera yesterday. I did wear it out and about all day though. I had several things to do yesterday and got quite a few compliments on it. I had a baby shower to attend, I didn't want to go, but Tabby, my fiancée made me I always thought men weren't aloud at those things, but pretty much all the ladies dragged there men to this one, so at least I wasn't alone. But after that, we went a movie and saw "Shooter" then had to run into a few stores and pick up some random stuff. Shopping and a baby shower, not my best day, but at least she agreed to balance the day out with an assassin movie eh? ha ha Anyways, after we went to Walmart, and while in there a nice elderly couple stopped me and asked if I was from Scotland. I said no, just of Scottish decent. We talked for a few minutes while we were in line, and he said that his wife was from Edinburgh, and that it was nice seeing someone in a kilt. Then we went to Kmart, that was probably the most interesting part of the day. The girl working the cash register to a step back eyed me up and down and said, "Wow, I like that outfit! thats nice!" I was wearing the kilt, black kilt belt and sporran, a red teeshirt that matches the kilt really nicely, and cream hose smashed down at my ankles. But the funniest thing happened while we were walking threw the store. What appeared to be a "gypsy" woman was walking up the isle and eyeballing me pretty blatantly, then as we passed she turned around to keep watching me and walked into a rack of clothes and almost fell. It was pretty unusual, as you can imagine Gypsyies aren't really common place over here (neither is a man in a kilt though for that matter) but it was pretty funny. My fiancée got quite a kick out of that one. But that was pretty much my first kilted day in the Prince of Wales tartan
