Re: First steps in tights

I usually buy my hosiery from https://www.thetightspot.com/ (I'm in the UK), and, only today, noticed that they have a section called 'Tights for Men' within their 'Tights' menu. Some less-than-usual tights are available.

Re: Online live meeting anyone?

Our people have used Zoom in the past, but I'm thinking of giving Jitsi https://meet.jit.si/ a go as there is no time limit, 100 people can join and uses your normal web browser, nothing to download or install.

Refitting the hinges (screws came loose) on two cabinet doors in my workshop (in a skirt, of course, 18 inch denim).

Re: windows 8.1 problems

It is still possible to get the free update from Windows 8 to Windows 10 - officially it ended some time ago, but I updated a laptop around two months ago and expected it not to work, but it did.

Re: Lined vs Unlined.

I find I need to wear a slip with quite a few unlined skirts. as static electricity build-up makes the skirt 'cling'.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"

Came across a chap in my local B&Q DIY store in a light grey kilt, long socks - certainly looked the part with beard and Tam o'Shanter cap.

Re: New member to the forum

Got two kilts, one mainly blue and the other grey and black, both standard wrap-around design and knee length. Also have a few skirts of various lengths – the plaid miniskirt I have I don’t think will ever be worn outside the house as it only just covers my backside. I can see why pleated skirts are...

Hi everyone,
New to forum, started out wearing a kilt a few months ago – the postman and a few delivery drivers have seen me in a kilt, but not yet had the courage of my convictions to wear a kilt or skirt to the supermarket.
