Skirting Oh Yeah! 05-30-2003 12:53 AM

Now just as we have sort of agreed to disagree on what is or is not a kilt or a skirt, I'd like to share with you all an experience from tonight.
Every once in a while, I do get out of my Utilikilt and put on a skirt. I mean gee whiz, one can't just have one style. So anyway, to me this is a skirt. I bought it from Wal-Mart about a year ago in the women's section, so just so there is no question, this is a skirt. It's made of brown Vinyl, but it looks like a pretty worn in leather skirt. I might add that with the built-in satin liner, it is quite comfortable too.
So I was coming out of a store and walking accross the parking lot to my car, and a guy who was sitting in a parked car rolled down his window and asked "Is that what you call a kilt?"
I said no that this was pretty much a skirt, and that I do own some kilts, but that today I wanted to wear a skirt instead.
He said something like "Well, I'll be damned if it doesn't look natural on you." He said that he couldn't get over the fact that I was "pulling it off" wearing a skirt. It just looked so normal to him that he had to actually take a double take to make sure it was a skirt that I was wearing.
I thanked him a couple of times in the conversation, and that was that.
Anyway, here was an example of someone faced with something he had never seen before and the concept that a guy in a skirt could look like he was not out of place. He probably did not want to offend me by saying "Nice skirt", but instead chose to ask if it were a kilt. I think once I dis-armed the whole thing by saying that yes it was a skirt, and that I did have kilts, he felt a lot better about continuing on and talking about it.
Cheers,
Wild Bill
