The only people there were my twenty something self and twelve Scottish guys. In kilts. We got on like a house on fire not least because the Scottish guttural is similar to that of the motherland's. <br /><br />When my then (English) boyfriend and future husband came in after having run an errand somewhere else in the airport he thought he was gate crashing a party. Gosh, yes, give me a man in a kilt. Unless it's Sean Connery. I don't like the mean of purse.<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-11696317895439501842021-09-06T08:51:16.827+01:002021-09-06T08:51:16.827+01:00And that skirt needs a good ironing!And that skirt needs a good ironing!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-70477273559085173082021-09-06T08:50:36.457+01:002021-09-06T08:50:36.457+01:00In this particular case, I'm not surprised eit...In this particular case, I'm not surprised either.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-4661657524176954712021-09-06T08:49:36.179+01:002021-09-06T08:49:36.179+01:00Gays were only invented in the mid 60's.

It is the kind of thing a gay man would do, take fashion to the extreme, but of course there was no such thing as a gay man in the 1920s. <br /><br />It is so useful to know someone to seek expert clothing style advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-39188908897817222342021-09-06T08:29:48.470+01:002021-09-06T08:29:48.470+01:00It looks as though he is wearing a skirt.It looks as though he is wearing a skirt.JayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373622852406554111noreply@blogger.com
