Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

When asked 'Why the Kilt?'
I respond-The why is F.T.H.O.I. (For The H--- Of It)
... for without them the world would be forever static and unchanging, not so far off a notion as a frozen pond in the gloom of darkest February. Without the stimulation the "different ones" provide, we'd be confined to an endless stream of sameness -- that sort of sameness that makes some take their lives in despair.
I love the opening gambit of "Poets and Misfits". Sadly, I never really appreciated poetry as much as I should have (although that is slowly being corrected) but I can absolutely identify with "Misfit" -- yea, I can even feel proud of it.
Happy New Year, lads. Whether we entertain, appall, intrigue, scare, or inspire, what we do with our style choices make a difference. One mind at a time.

We've just returned from a night of revelry for people 'of a certain age', in that the package was a cracking good meal from 8.30 on, followed by ballroom dancing to a perfectly decent group who didn't make it difficult to converse the whole evening, so by midnight with everyone on the floor we all had our eardrums intact.
We slid out the door at 10 minutes before the final whistle so we could get away easily. All very civilised & now it's bed-y-byes time.

I aspire to eccentricity; sadly I'm not wealthy enough, so I have to put up with just being weird
Have fun,
Ian.
Do not argue with idiots; they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I'd go happily with "weird" too.
That is certainly preferable to "Norman Normal".
In these P.C. days, some may say "otherly challenged"!
Personally, I've actually learned not to care too much.
Sometimes it pays to get out a bit more.
