    Great retort. I think it's so lame the way we label behaviors that seem unusual (meaning "not what I do") as a life style choice, as though our own set of behaviors were not a life style or a choice. Unless one has never even considered wearing trousers, of course it's a choice AND the way one styles his life! Let's understand the underlying motivations for- assumptions about the question, otherwise it's meaningless inquiry.

    So, Raphael, why do you ask?

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    I ask because I want to know.

    I work in denim trousers. The rest of the time I am usually kilted. It is a clothing style that is natural to me for fifty years. The only change is that at present there is more time kilted. I wear trousers when climbing my antenna towers, as the steel can leave some nasty burns on bare skin during the summer months. One of my hobbies being amateur radio. Do I do it for attention? Not really. Around here it is usually a big yawn. Too many cultures displayed here to make it a big deal. If I wanted attention I would wear a really big turban with my black kilt, an image of Mohammad on the front of a wife beater, standing outside the local Mosque right after prayer service.

    I wear my Cilt simply because it is a part of me.
