I've got a couple of friends who wear Utilikilts all the time and love them. I've been thinking about it, but have yet to step up to the plate - they're pricy.

I would think a group of performers would have a pretty high acceptance level, but even the gay guys at the opera were astonished at my cobalt blue toenails. I used the acrylic touchup paint from my motorcycle since I couldn't find a suitable color in nail polish.

Unfortunately, UtiliKilts no longer makes their original design, the "Standard". I have five of them. I wouldn't be caught dead in their current design - I don't like the flat front pseudo-Scottish look. So I'm having a seamstress make a couple of "similar" knockoffs.

If guys knew how comfortable a skirt of any kind is, they'd abandon pants for good (except for situations involving a lot of crawling, dirt, etc.).

As for toenail acceptance, etc. - the most fanatically militant enforcers of the male status quo are (some) gays. Go figure. Why were you wearing Cobalt blue? I know it was to go with your bike, but I'm curious.

I dunno. The Workman's model looks pretty functional.








Is this the type you like, Zorba?

After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF.

Nope, that is their current style, the "Neo-Trad". I like their original style, no longer produced:



Pleated all around, is NOT a wrap skirt. Has a zipper. Very similar to the Greek Foustanella.

Cobalt blue polish?

Go to this page:

http://www.doubleveil.net/piano/pianod.htm

And scroll down about half way where I have my foot braced against my piano action that I'm working on. Is that blue enough?

In an attempt to get this thread back on topic (Let's move the off topic content to "off key"); check out this beauty:

I like this one, even with the European style fallboard:

Say what you like about the continental styling or the European fallboard, but you can't miss this one:

My wife and I take a short cruise every September on the Carnival ship "Paradise" - we attend non-stop Belly Dance classes and performances the whole cruise, and return exhausted!

Here's the piano in the main atrium, a white Yamaha:
