Dressed to Kilt: March 30, 2009 (Mansion, NYC)

It's better than being an old bag.

Wouldn't you rather get a room?

I wasn't talking about you, Nay.

BTW, is it appropriate for an Irish woman to wear red and black tartan when she isn't Scottish? Does it matter, considering the attire I have chosen isn't technically a kilt, but a wrap around mini skirt?

Should I care?

I did try to find an Irish tartan for me to wear, but they were very expensive. Either that, or I was going to have to sew it myself, and there just wasn't time.

Toot toot!

So toot away!
(Um..your horn that is. Not suggesting any farting. That may make it more difficult to meet a guy at this thing.)

You can borrow some of my Scottish blood, DK. (I do mean that in spirit only. I would prefer you not actually cut me open and draw blood.....) I mostly identify with my Italian-American ancestry, but I have a little Scottish in there too. As well as English, Irish, German, French, possibly Spanish, possibly Dutch, as well as three different tribes of Native American. Am I leaving anything out? Good grief! I'm a mutt! But I think that's pretty common for Americans who are Caucasian. Our ancestry tends to be a big melting pot of some of the major European countries with a little Native American heritage thrown into the mix.

But Nay, how else is she gonna get any beads?! Or end up on "Girls Gone Wild"?!!

............Oh, wait....that's Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I guess in my mind, I am already living there.

I think Donna should walk around DTK in her sexy little tartan getup with the rose between her teeth like she's going to do the tango or something........but that might make talking to men a little difficult though...........

G will take one look at DK and shift uncomfortably in his chair....several times.

LOL!

Thanks Pat! I'm sure I can come up with something rosish. I could take a picture, but it's kinda hard to take a picture of oneself. Maybe someone can get pics at the event.

Leo, LadyNOLA...you're so silly! With all of those models there, I doubt I'll get a second glance from anyone. Besides, he isn't on the guest list so we don't even know if he'll show. It's all speculation at this point. There's nothing indicating he will even be there.

I'm kinda excited Billy Boyd's supposed to be there though. I hope they don't put a wig on him this time.

models are overrated

Shaddup, DK. He'll be enchanted.

The great and all knowing Leo has spoken.

Especially after I put that big Scottish sticker on my ass.

And give him a Butler chocolate truffle bar.

Hmmm...I might keep the chocolate for myself.

I found myself a really neat Scottish/Irish shop this afternoon. They have kilts, sporrans, food, and also Irish tartan too. I wanna go back next week when I'm not on a date.

One more week to go, DK! Are you excited?

BTW, I'll watch the fort while you're gone. Isn't that comforting?

(lol)

I'm not sure if I'm excited or not. But I'm comforted that the forum will remain secure in my absence.

Maybe I'll attract some dude named Robert that looks about 250.

Will pictures be allowed at this event, I wonder?

they were before...but things could change..

You all packed?

Wave to the Chystler building for me!

(I love that structure)

No I'm not packed yet. I'm not leaving until Saturday.

The Chystler building? Do you mean the Chrysler building? If I wave to it, will it wave back?

LOL!!!!!!!!!

For someone who won a few spelling bees as a child, I certanly SUCK at spelling as an adult.

We want a full report when you return.

xo

A FULL report???

What if I do something I don't want everyone to know about?

They're going to debut a wooden kilt at this year's "Dressed to Kilt".

Splinter fears as furniture maker unveils first wooden kilt

I TOLD you he was gonna be there, DK.....he he.

Never doubt mother suoerior Leo.

(lol)

It still isn't confirmed. HughE thought he heard it from a fan that Gerry would be there, and the fan thought she heard it from HughE.

See how stories get started??

I bought my tix with no expectation of Gerry being there. He has never been on the list and/or confirmed. I'm hoping the mini-vacation will be drama free...or at least relatively so. I'm a bit nervous about being in NYC alone, though.
