    At last. And twice in a week.

    After several months of waiting I have donned the kilt for the first time. And the second. The first was for my nephews wedding on New Years Eve. There were 5 of us kilted and a fine looking bunch we were. The second was to work several days after. Now that was an experience. I work with a bunch of trades guys so I knew there would be razzing. There was everything from 'the question' to concerns about my orientation. Since I've known these lads for a few years, each and every one of them had their comments shot down as they would expect. They were also told to get used to it as I plan on wearing one at least 2 or three times a week once the weather warms up. The novelty wore off before lunch, and then a few of them, one by one, started asking serious questions about why I was wearing it, the tartan, and how warm it was (the temp. that day was hovering around 0 degrees C. And one of them stated that if he can find someone to make him a utility-type kilt, he would be wearing it come spring. Given his size and muscle mass, nobody will questioning anything when he decides to do so.

    Congratulations on your victory on PEI. Your experience has also been mine. I think sometimes men (in particular) are nervous about another man wearing a 'skirt'. After a short period they have to admit that they would like to be able to wear the kilt also. It's so masculine!
