For the rest of us, there is interesting clothing.


My lovely date, who doesn't need the Stewart Royal tartan to make her legs look good, is a good sport who likes to "match". Her legwear came from eBay. The brand is probably Pamela Mann and can be bought in the UK, though there are also Japanese brands available.





Purity of line is an admirable and noble concept, but now and then, some of us enjoy the clever twist. The difference between boring and elegant can be pretty small, once you get away from who is doing the describing. I realize that some tartans lean towards the subdued, especially some of the modern ones, but most are bright and colorful and vibrant. A colorful and vibrant tartan can either be complemented by quiet and dignified accompaniments or it can be set off by equally vibrant ones. On a festive occasion, why settle for just one Roman candle?
This is one of the reasons I no longer attempt to wear Highland attire. I am a "Lowlander."

Just getting in touch again with my bland and boring roots.

I'm sure your lovely date appreciated the fireworks.
