Elven Hunter - hmm, I can imagine typing while holding a light sabre could be rather inconvenient - not to mention if you got over-enthusiatic about a thread and dropped it. Mmm, smell that burnin' carpet, yeaaah...

Ah, but that, dear girl, is the beauty of this thread. With the creation of the Barrowdowns Photo Gallery, many of the Downers RL images can be seen. But that's not necessarily how you imagine them to look - my mental image of many of the Downers is very different from what they actually look like!

But yes, that is HI - and may I just say, Heren, you make it very difficult to create a whole new mental image when your real face is staring at me from further up a page, sir!

no skirts for this girl. I'm more or less the girl who wears the rolled up fabric pants all the time

Way back when (pre-Summer-Vacation), I'd have said the same exact thing. I still prefer rolled up pants to say... shorts... but as of this summer, my fashion sense has changed drastically. Come September and the start of school, I'm gonna have some shocked friends.

If it helps you picture me NOW, my taste in clothes used to be straight up pants. I much preferred pants to say... shorts, skirts, or *shudder* capris. Shirts were anything but pink and purple (with one obvious exception, but I didn't wear that shirt much). Generally, my style reflected the fact that I wanted my guy friends to count me as one of the guys, and if they were visually reminded that I'm a girl, they would get all flirty and annoying... terrifying really.

I'd say the major "fashion rule" that applies to my before and after taste in clothes is this: It had better be comfortable, and cover everything important.

PS- I really want a kilt...

[Mithalwen]

Speaking as someone who's "Sunday Best" ( despite not possessing a drop of Scots blood) was a kilt for longer than I care to think about (my great aunt bought them and we had to wear them ....and then when we grew I got my elder sister's as a hand-me-down ) I wouldn't reccommend them ...especially if you want comfort... they are seriously hot, and scratchy beyond the aid of petticoats and they are usually in the foulest colour combinations imaginable ..... mine's only redeeming feature was that they were plain and not plaid....

However as formal dress for highland scots MEN.... thy have a certain appeal... irrisistable fascination almost ..... maybe it is that men look so good in formal wear..... or maybe it is the sporrans....

I must agree...Don't know why...Maybe it's the plaid? But plaid pants are majorly ugly...meh, I don't know!

[Mithalwen]

Well if I was to hazard a more serious guess I might say it suggested a certain confidence in themselves and their masculinity that they were prepared to go out like that..... macho but not too mucho ..... mind you I think it requires nice knees to carry it off ....

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I wouldn't reccommend them ...especially if you want comfort...

In which case, I suppose I won't get one. And, of course, that I also have no Scottish blood whatsoever...

I think I've discovered the mysterious allure to men in kilts. Scotsmen seem to be some of the small and proud group of men who have no qualms about wearing something that looks generally skirt-like. That, to me, shows confidence. All hail the Scotsmen and their kilt-wearing abilities!
