I'm sorry, but if I saw a bloke wearing a skirt like the 'chap' in one of these pics, I would feel honour bound to slay him with the nearest blunt object.

Don't talk to me about kilts, that's different (and they're Scots). This is just WRONG :mad:

[Iain]

I thought he was, well, umm, sort of cute.
Pass the blunt instrument when you've finished :rolleyes:

[knucklehead]

SilentC I don't think it looks that bad.

But I've got to say those chicks modeling them are down right ugly!

[craigb]

Doesn't work for me. :(

Maybe in Oxford St they'll be popular. :confused:

Reminds me of the time when I attended a blokey function (a geologist's barbeque) in Darwin (redneck central). I wore a mauve shirt, without it ever occurring to me that it might give the wrong impression. A geologist, who had slurped a number of beers, wanted to punch me out for being a poofter (not that there is anything wrong with that, as Seinfeld would say). I was forced to beat a strategic retreat and be more careful thereafter about my choice of shirt colour.

I think it's bloody disgraceful !!! :mad:

I mean, I would NEVER wear an above the knee skirt with an 'off the shoulder' after 5 top ! I mean darlings, Hello !, it just doesn't go. :)

This is a breach of the Code of Practice of such enormous magnitude that it might constitute a capital offence.

On the other hand, I notice that the designer is a woman so she is obviously(to borrow a phrase from the Captoon) jest toking the pooss! (Unless, of course, Vivienne is the name of a male person :eek: :eek: (who, if that were the case, could not be described accurately as a bloke)!

[Grunt]

We've all seen pictures of Al wearing this sort of thing, so I think you should lay off and let a bloke wear a skirt if he wants.

[Harry72]

A foilie skirt!

[oges]

Its not a joke its called .. Fashion. Look at some of the women fashion events where you see them wearing bird cages over their heads. All we can hope is that they never make it out into the real world.

A foilie skirt!
Do you want a piccy??

[Wood Borer]

God's teeth, but that's just bluidy awfulhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon9.gif Don't mind (aka like) delicious non-male types wearing silly gear at fashion shows, but so-called 'chaps' wearing this sort of kit... If that blunt object isn't worn out, can I borrow it please? otherwise I'll just have to bring a sharper object.. a "scary sharp" object, for the use of...http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif

That'll teach you to rock up to a Geologist's barbeque....they're generally pretty boring affairs anyway...a bunch of boring gits, most of whom barely scraped through their uni degrees, all milling around talking about geology. Worse than a teachers barbeque.

Cant understand why the purple shirt caused you so much trouble.....whenever theres a Geologist's bbq at my house youd be hard pressed to find many people wearing "normal" colours.

[lesmeyer]

Aw!, now c'mon guys. To you fellas on the east side of OZ this is quite normal. I mean Oxford street stretches all the way from Melbourne to Brisbane - well so to speak. To us here in the wild west of course, such dress code is totally foreign. It may as well be in Europe or South Africa.

to a Geologist's barbeque.....

I think I'd prefer steak or snaggers - or even, at a pinch, 'roo or crocodile. What the hell does barbecued geologist taste like? :eek: (Gritty?)

[adrian]

I went to a priests and prostitutes party a few years ago dressed as a nun. I've got to admit that wearing the habit was rather liberating and made me wish I'd been born a Scot. If I was I'd wear a kilt all the time.
A problem arose during the party when some of the "prostitutes" tried to find out what I was wearing under the habit. Made me wish I'd worn a sporran.

[Iain]

I wore mine to an RSL New Years Eve turnout a few years ago, all the old dears after a few G&T's kept sticking their bloody hands up my kilt, would have been OK if the youngest one wasn't about 70 :mad:
Suppose it could have been worse, the old RSM could have been gay :eek:

[HappyHammer]

Here's an article for budding skirt wearers.

I too have worn a kilt to a ball at Sydney Town Hall, in fact the full getup with long socks lace up shoes and a dirk. Japanese tourists were taking photos of us when we got out of the cab!

I had the same experience with most females wanting a grope, which is OK as they were mostly under 70:D but I nearly came a cropper during some fierce dancing to "I would walk 500 miles"...just got the hand on the sporran as the legs went up in the air:o

[Iain]

Just looked at your signature :confused: :confused: :confused:
I am trying NOT to picture the bright side, bloody great big hairy sporran.....trying not to, trying hard not to :rolleyes:

[silentC]

I told you blokes NOT to talk about kilts. So what do you bloody well do? And now hairy sporrans :rolleyes:

[HappyHammer]

I prefer a brazilian sporran so not quite as hairy as you were NOT thinking Iain. Sorry SC :D
