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?

Zorba, that's a pretty good blue, probably close to this:

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:
