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.
I grew up in the Pittsburgh, Pa area moved to Iowa to finish college in 1970. Stayed there for 10 years getting married in the mean time. Then in September of 1980 I moved my family to Wisconsin we were there till 1997. In 1997 I moved my family to Illinois living in the Central Illinois area Peoria to be exact. I've been here since 1997 losing my wife 3 years ago. I have several skirts that I wear around the house but hesitant to go outside wearing them.
Rev Paul, why hesitant? If you read even a fraction of the posts on this site the common message seems to be that the only obstacle to your wearing skirts among the great unwashed lies within your own head. 99% of people don't even notice and the rest don/t care. But take things at your own pace. The first time you'll be nervous, scared even, then once you're over that it does get easier and soon it'll become second nature. I was out shopping early evening in my skirt and an England football shirt and a group of four teenage girls passed me, smiled and gave me the thumbs up. What were they wearing - jeans, of course. I went into Primark and bought two skirts whilst I was skirted. It doesn't get much better than that.
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.
