I am inclined to agree with Ian -- I think the brand is well established and should remain as is. The paragraph next to the brand-name does a fine job of describing the site.
Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to inc

Thanks a lot IanVideo? Man you is OLD! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
There certainly was! Much of it 'planted' by some of those departing, "MY Kilt's not a skirt!", protagonists.Bob wrote: When I inherited the forum, there was widespread fear that it was going to become yet another transgender / transvestite site.
Which was far more to the point!Bob wrote:... I changed the tag line from "Men in Skirts & Kilts" to "Skirts & Kilts for Men."
I am deeply saddened by this remark, Bob. Gutted, in fact. As one who regards 'fashion' as the antithesis of what most here appear to trying to achieve, I am both surprised and hurt. Are you saying I suddenly don't belong here, anymore?Bob wrote: Whether it's skirts or kilts, this is not a "lifestyle" website, but rather a fashion website.
Did we try hard enough? It's great to see some new ideas, eh? I'm personally not keen on S & K Café (but only because it reminds me of the Swinton & Knottingley Railway!), but would certainly endorse "Miks Café". As we don't appear to have any Irish input here, I cannot see that 'offending' anyone! And, as you have observed, it would do away with the undoubted 'risque' element which has, on occasion, attracted an oddball or two!Bob wrote:I've never been 100% satisfied with "SkirtCafé" because it sounds far too risque. But we just couldn't find anything better.
One advantage of skirts over kilts as currently conceived is that you can get them in longer lengths. If I go out for a walk into town in below-freezing weather, I usually wear skirts that are at least 33" long, with lots of layers underneath, plus heavy knee socks.Uncle Al wrote: Since I've retired, I now have a greater opportunity to be 'out and about' in my kilts. However at freezing temps, I still wear p**ts. I don't want any 'frozen' pipes!
No, of course it's not old, heck I'll be there myself soon enough.Uncle Al wrote:Now Ian--is 57 really old?
There are new turn tables on the market, and even not that really expensive, with a attatchment to feed the table input through a cable to a CD copyer, or maybe computer, so that you can record your LP's directly to a CD.Uncle Al wrote:Skip,
I've just aquired a 'turn-table' to add to my 'stero' system.
I have Many Fine Recordings to listen to. Many were my
parents collection. I would like to find a way, or place, to
convert my LP's to CD's. Some of them are the 'Readers
Digest Series'. Six to ten LP's in one 'box'. Some, if
not most, of these recordings are no longer available.
Too bad to! ( I won't mention the 45's either! Some are
original Elvis 45's that my wife collected. )
