First Intro: Hello I am new to the board, not so new to "skirting". I wear them whenever I am comfortably closeted from friends and family. No kilts I have to say... just haven't had the opportunity to shop for them.
Anyway, I was in the motor vehicle department renewing the registration on my car, dressed simply with a mid thigh beige skirt from Walmart, nothing special. A lady came in behind me, smiled at me... not uncommon. Then, as I am facing the clerk, there is flash of light coming from behind me. I turn around, and there she is with her camera phone, snapping a picture of me.
I guess the look of surprise on my face was enough to couch a remark from her. She proclaimed, "you look great! I have been trying to get my husband to try out a skirt." I politely smiled and said, "thanks" and finidhed my business....
Has that ever happened to anyone else?

A couple of years ago I got to upstage Van Gough!
I was admiring a work of his at the MET in NYC while wearing my black workman's UK and a couple of ladies asked if they could take my picture.
My daughter, wife, sister-in-law & family were there also.
Most of the time I didn't notice anyone's reaction there.
Around the same time, I was in a women's clothing store with my wife, and a couple of women from back East (there for the HSU graduation) found me interesting enough to ask for a photo also.
I guess being a 'tourist attraction' is better than putting up with ugly looks and comments.
You didn't mention if you told her about this place, but I take those opportunities to 'spread the word'... sometimes ad nauseum... sad to say

Frankly I think it is really rude to take a picture of someone without their permission.
I really do not like these camera phones. I have seen my work mates using theirs to take picture of "hot women" who are just women going about their business, just doing it in a female body.
I would not too much appreciate someone just snapping a picture of me in one of my outfits. If they asked, then I'd oblige.
I would worry about what use that picture would get.

plenty of pictures
All,
I've been wearing skirts in public for a number of years now, and people do take my picture now and again. Usually, it's a positive experience and I end up feeling flattered.
One time at a bus stop, a young woman saw me and excitedly took a picture, thinking that I couldn't see her. As it was, I just noticed out of the corner of my eye. A week later she saw me again and shyly asked if she could take a shot. I smiled and said sure!
Gee whiz, she sure was young and pretty. As a very middle aged man, I found that it really made my day.
