Congratulations, Carl!

“Outside Hollywood, the phenomenon has been gaining traction for years, according to Carl R. Friend, the administrator (and self-described "Master Barista") of The Skirt Café, an online forum dedicated to men's skirts.”

Well, well, well. They turned that around in good time -- and got my statements right. I try to acquit myself well with the language.

So long as the ghost of my ex- doesn't read it and cause a ruckus I figure I'll be alright.

WOMEN TAKE NOTE :!: I hope that article, and link to S.C., will get other men
interested in, and understand that, skirts for men are nothing to be afraid of.

New guy here, but it’s the first time I’ve seen the skirt cafe mentioned in media. Have you guys seen it elsewhere? All you need is a link and something to go viral

I believe this is the first time we've been mentioned by a major player, and we shall see what happens. Here's where I hope the uniqueness of The Skirt Cafe stands out amongst the other cross-dresser/trans-* sites. Time will tell.

I said it before but I want to say it again. Thank you and the others mods for moderating a site that strictly holds to the idea of men who are men and want to be men but also want to wear skirts. Kudos. It’s hard to do. Thank you. This site has helped me find peace with wanting to wear skirts and be a guy.

And that, succinctly put, is the raison d'etre for this site.

I am gratified that it has helped even a single person.

Oh it has helped more than one. I wouldn't be as far along the skirting pathway without the advice, support and wit of all you members. Yes we have had occasional disagreements but it is a shining star among the dross and free floating detritus in the internot universe. May it always be so.

I think you’ve helped many.
