but when it comes to people's opinion - it's another thing... 
) and thus be treated badly.So I wanted to buy or make myself some kind of a modern kilt but buying one was to expensive for my college days' income
and making one without having any experience in sewing turned in a long process 
.I wanted to show up in some kind of skirt or kilt for my first college day though and as to do it I went shopping.Here nowhere one can find a genuine male kilt so I decided to buy some female tartan pleated skirt instead.My reasons were simple - if someone makes the difference - he/she will be intelligent enough as to understand the M.U.G.'s idea, and if not - I can just say - "It's a scotish male skirt - it's called "Kilt", o.k.? 
".What I bought was something like that http://www.lindaclifford.com/Ladies/Fiona.jpg but it was longer below the knee.The tartan was some cool gray one.I bought some long socks too and I putted on one of mine cool rock-metal t-shirts.It looked really nice.The evening before the College welcome ceremony I putted my outfit on and went out with a friend for a walk as to see how it will be.First of all - the feel of freedom was amazing.I was so fun that I even started running for a while.
There was no many people on the streets so there was not much of a comments.I heard 2 though : "Hey, nice irish outfit " from some guy and "Look !!!It's so cool!!!..." from a girl who was talking to her boyfriend.The police got involved too - I was stopped in my way but not for the usual ID check - but to be asked about my outfit and the guys were really nice and approving (some strange attitude from them, because police here is kind of doing their job with blank faces and seriousness in the voice 
).Well the next morning was the X-day
and I went to the ceremony.Needless to say I was the only male in some kind of M.U.G. in the area, or the whole city maybe.It was very strange though because there was not many comments (only smiles from ladies but nothing verbal).The dean of my faculty (55-60 years old) looked at me verry strange, but shaked my hand and smiled verry politely and said "Welcome!!! 
" as he did to everyone else before and after my turn.There were none comments from anyone in my new class too.I got so inspired that I bought 2 more skirts too.One is black knee lenght poliester skirt - kind of official look and the other one is tartan but without pleats.I haven't worn them yet though.One strange thing happened that day at school though.I am not bad looking guy but usually girls do not rush into me and start talking, but that day that happened - I was surrounded by 3 girls who talked and talked to me, but no comments for my skirt though.My welcome ceremony was the day before yesterday and yesterday we had a day off - so today I went to college for second time - in trousers this time.The girls who talked to me before surrounded me again and other girls joined the group.I was the center of attention again.And all that girls were very pretty and some kind of Alpha female type (you know like the most respected girls back in the high school).Then someone proposed to have a cup of coffee after classes and we all went to the nearby cafeteria.I knew it from before so I was leading the group.When we sat at the table I realized that I was sitting on the same table with the top girls of the college class of 2008.Then the girls started to talk about my skirt - they were thinking that it was so brave, very cool and so on.One even said "Although you look normal are there some other reasons..." on witch I firmly said "I am completely hetero if that's what you ment...
" on witch she replied with a smile "I knew from the first time I saw you that you are from our guys ".The same girl is married but she didn't stop flirting with me all the time.Later her husband came to pick her with the car and even then she was looking at me with those strange look witch made me very nervous and embarrassed in front of her guy...Well as a conclusion I can say that definitely me wearing skirts and broking the boring rules of the conservative fashion made me very popular at college and even improved my personal life to some extend.There were some bad comments too like guys whistling in my back but no more than this.As general people seemed not to pay attention to me wearing skirt.Well I think that I will definitely make the skirt part of my wardrobe.
Well this is from me.Sorry but I don't have picture from that day and my English is not very good, but I wanted to share my thoughts and experience with you guys here.
