Men in Skirts

[EliteXen]

This Friday, my boss is throwing his annual Scottish party to celebrate his heritage. It's a big event in the area and a lot of important people will be attending. We?re on really good terms so he'd like me to attend; the only catch is everyone has to wear highland dress, which basically means kilts for all the guys. I have no problems wearing a "skirt", but I think I?m gonna look really goofy. I'm black (born in Africa), 6ft, 170lbs, 20 years old, but most people can never guess my age they either think I?m a bit older or a bit younger.

I wanted to just buy one since he throws the party every year, but it turns out they're really expensive and I'm a poor grad student. So I'm looking for a place to rent one. I've already google'd a couple of places that rent them, but I just wanted to hear from someone with personal experience about where to get it from and about how much to pay.

And if there are any kilt experts around, what should I have my date wear? And should I shave my legs?

I can't help you with your outfits, but do NOT shave your legs.

Talk to sm8000. He likes dressing in womens clothing.

My sister told me that, but I knew it sounded fishy.

I think my boss would notice the difference. Plus they're probably gonna be taking tons of pics of me, especially since i try to avoid camera's at all costs, so i don't wanna look like a total douche.

Nice try though, maybe I can get my date in one for the after party

The Scottish brought few good things. One of them is a hilarious accent.

tried calling a few, none sold kilts, and most of the people working were ignorant high school kids that weren't any help.

Probably better to find a larger place that rents Tuxedos.

these stores aren't probably near you (but they do rent out kilts!!!!), give 'em a call & ask 'em if there are any stores closer to you:
