Not noticed any more
So there I am dressed up to the 9s and no one noticed or even gave me a second glance,
I think we have cracked it, I just blend in with the crowd.

That's awesome, Richard -- on BOTH counts.
Your look in that shot just rocks.

Re: Not noticed any more
Splendid outfit!
I do not think you really blend into the crowd - you are just your own self and are accepted as such!

Re: Not noticed any more
Ah, not trying to take anything away from you Rchrd, but there you are - you are wearing a tartan kilt along with the jacket and sporran and that's the difference. Even MOH could accept me going out in such a kilt, but probably only just. You do look great in that getup, though.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.
Re: Not noticed any more
Actually, I think this an acceptance of the kilt, rather than being unnoticed. When all the other men are wearing trousers, a kilted man stands out.
BTW, that's a fine outfit that Richard is wearing.

Re: Not noticed any more
Southampton must be the kilt capital of England, Richard, if that outfit lets you blend in!
Keep on skirting,

It's not that others accept your kilt; they don't care. It's that you accept it.

Re: Not noticed any more
I used to stay frequently on the south coast, where there are Scottish country dancin clubs everything few kilomètres. In 25 years, I saw only one man at any dance that did not wear a kilt -- or should I say, the kilt! Not that you,d see them walking kilted in the streets, but nearly everyone had one -- and wore it.skirtyscot wrote:Southampton must be the kilt capital of England, Richard, if that outfit lets you blend in!

Re: Not noticed any more
I still think that if you want to look really good, nothing beats a proper kilt outfit, that one looks really smart. I love the tartan, since I don't much like really bright reds I have always gone for the green option, which is still quite loud! Richard, that kilt is really smart, what is the tartan?
