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.

This has been a rough one -- perhaps the worst yet. My lady-friend lost an elder brother on the 8th and has been inconsolable and sometimes hysterical since, and is showing signs of being in denial about the whole thing. All too frequently she asks me, "Is my brother really dead?" -- and I'm not about to lie to her, deflecting it gently by answering something along the lines of, "According to anything I've been told he is.", which produces another round of hysterics. There's enormous stress between the remaining siblings, and I usually get accused of "not understanding the situation" because she is one of 10 (now 9) and I'm an only -- and this, along with the denial and hysteria is causing vast amounts of stress between her and I; I haven't been able to devote more than a token amount of attention to my own needs and work since word reached us, and things in my world are starting to wobble. That's why I've been quite quiet for the past few days.
So, it's all a matter of hoping that things get better going forward.
