    my wife won't wear a kilt skirt

    As I was snooping ebay a couple of weeks ago I came across a couple of longer-length, maybe mid-calf kilt skirts in about her size for peanuts. I mean, we're talking scottish wool, two buckle closure skirts from Scotland for ten dollars or less. One gal who was selling wrote in that she'd bought it during a trip to Scotland but lives in Florida and never wears it.

    I proposed to the Missus that we get her one. Her Black Watch kilt skirt, my Black Watch kilt, how revoltingly Bobsy Twins wholesome can you get? :P

    No way sez she. All that plaid??? "NOBODOY looks good in all that plaid" she says, and then the killer, of course. "It would make me look fat".

    Now, my lady is NOT fat. She dances four days a week and can backpack me into the ground. She's got a great figure. She'd look great.....but nuh-huh. No way is she gonna wear all that plaid. When I wear my Black Watch she bugs me to put a hat on so that I don't look "bottom-heavy". I think that's a laugh, but I'll humour her and wear the hat, usually.

    How about it gents? Will your women wear tartan kilt skirts? You Lasses on the Board, do you wear one?

    Two of the older women in my life - my mother and friend love them and would them and used to but neither has owned one in a long while. Although with my looking at all these kilts the subject has come up.


    One of the younger ladies in my life, and a rather lovely young lady she is too, I know would wear one if she had one. It had occurred to me that such would make a lovely gift for her at some point. We were once discussing how I liked pleated skirts on women (a couple of years ago now), and she now owns two and looks beautiful in them.

    But she's one of the most amazing women on the face of the planet and I'm blessed and spoiled in just having had the chance to know her.

    From the Mrs:

    When my husband first started wearing kilts I frequently wore pleated skirts or at least skirts when we went out together. After about 2 years I got tired of all the Bobsey Twins jokes, and the "Ah, how cute". Now I am only in skirts for weddings and funerals. Do I miss skirts, not at all.

    Alan... if only you guys were on the East Coast so you could attend some Barleyjuice gigs and have your wife hang-out with Stacey and the other wives, she might just change her mind. Stacey is a "dink" and looks wonderful in kilts. The other wives are MORE than happy to wear them too. In fact, it's amazing how many women come to the gigs in kilts... none of them with any reservations about the look!

    Tartan ain't for everyone. That's why some women love to wear the solid kilts like the PittsburghKilt styles. Maybe for them, it's a Catholic School Girl, or Britney Spears thing?
    Arise. Kill. Eat.

    That is exactly why I want my wife in a "kilted" skirt, preferably the mini.

    After our kilt night last night my wife and I had a conversation about her wearing a kilted skirt and she was very positive. We will see where it takes us.
