San Francisco Pride 2009

[Inertia]

I'm having a fine vision of all the SkirtCafe members going for a night on the town. The pub is invaded by men in skirts and kilts (and several admiring women), some drinking alcohol and some not, some arguing contentiously and some not, and all having a blast. Passers-by will want to come and join in, because everyone's having such a good time. Those who do so will leave with the sense that men in skirts have more fun, and think about trying similar clothes themselves. Some of them will actually make the leap and put on a skirt or kilt, and find it more comfortable.

Now, how to keep this on topic? Oh, I know. Someone in the pub, a non-skirted visitor, will make a crack like, "Are you guys all gay?" And there will be dead silence. And then someone will say, "The usual proportion of us, according to population demographics. Why do you ask?" And then the talking and carousing will continue.

Cheers,

Inertia

Lol, reminds me of the wedding that I attended in the chenongsam.

I got a bit tipsy, and well, the silly Brit came out. The resemblance to the Late Eddie Izzard (late because as far as I am concerned he sold out), must have been uncanny, missing the gaudy makeup. We all did have fun, and I think only one comment about the gown was made, and that was just because I spun around and the flaps do what flaps do, Lol.

I think if we could get a group of jolly slightly buzzed skirted guys having fun, would be a tremendous boost to the idea of skirts for men being accepted.

What a splendid notion -- and what wonderful mental imagery to go with it! Thank you for that, Inertia!

OK, where and when? Can I get there by public transportation, or do I have to drive?

WILL THERE BE ANY GUINESS???

[Inertia]

Well, of course there will be Guinness! And gin and tonic, and Strongbow, and Innes & Gunn, which to me is as ambrosial as Guinness is to some of you guys, because I want to be there as well, so I can hang out with all you sensibly-dressed gentlemen and admire your legs. And maybe you could persuade my man to put a kilt on as well, 'cause I think he'd look smashing in one.

See, forget the transporter: I want a vacuum subway that runs under the earth at high speed, so we can take the subway to a location of choice, somewhere on the earth, and all meet for an evening get-together. Since we're all on different sides of the world anyway, I'm thinking maybe Tokyo. There's a pub there called "Drunk Bears"; they've got amazing food, and neat things to drink (alcoholic and non, depending on your tastes), and the teenagers there dress so outrageously that a bunch of guys in skirts likely wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.

We should start planning ahead...

Cheers,

I like some of Japan. They have a cafe, where the waitresses are all guys, dressed in lolita style (remember Lolita in Japan has much different connatations than in western culture). I so wish such a place existed in the states, but frankly I think we are too stuck up for that.
