Hi, I'm Julie and I love to see men in skirts.
My fiancé does not wish to wear trousers for our wedding, but he'd rather not wear his kilt. We looked around for various "manskirts" and decided we both really liked the Männerrock (for lack of a better word, since in German it can refer to anything from kilts to sarongs, though the former would generally be called a Kilt or a Schottenrock and the latter a Sarong)--it is unique and usually quite elegant. As of thus I've found only German or Swiss suppliers. I'd imagine the shipping costs for such a garment would be rather expensive. It would be so much easier if we could find an establishment which sold them.
Do any of you know of anyplace in the States which sells Männerröcke? They could probably be found in German/European goth stores (if there are any around here). I'd prefer to find one in Michigan, but I get the feeling I'll have to be content with any U. S. stores I can find.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: That was rather vague, so I'll add a site and an image. AndersLandinger.

Ind. Male, in a Dress, Barred From Prom
Email this Story
May 24, 5:10 PM (ET)
GARY, Ind. (AP) - A male student who has worn women's clothes to school all year was turned away from his high school prom because he was wearing a dress.
Kevin Logan, 18, went to the West Side High School prom on Friday in a slinky fuchsia gown and heels. He believes officials discriminated against him by not allowing him inside.
"I have no formal pictures, no memories, nothing. You only have one prom," he said.
Logan, who is gay, received an $85 refund for his prom ticket Tuesday but was not satisfied. He said he is considering filing a complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana.
Sylvester Rowan, assistant to Gary Schools Superintendent Mary Steele, said school policy bans males from wearing dresses. Excluding Logan from prom was based on "the dress code, not the student's homosexuality. That's his personal preference."
Tyrone Hanley, the youth program coordinator for the Gender Public Advocacy Coalition in Washington, D.C., said he often sees cases like this and called it gender-based discrimination.
"Prohibiting really short skirts for everyone is a fair dress code; prohibiting them for males is not," he said.
Logan said he had spent years defining and exploring his sexuality. This year, he took a major step by dressing as a female every day, wearing makeup, a hair weave, nails and girls' fitted jeans to school.
His mother, Donnetta Logan, said she was not surprised by what she called the ignorance of school administrators.
"I tell Kevin that in society there will be those who accept him and those who won't."

I'm not sure if anyone here celebrates No Pants Day, but if you do, tomorrow's the day. If you're not familiar with it, it's a day to leave home without pants (or pants substitutes- no kilts, no skirts, no shorts, etc). "The recommended No Pants Day attire is thick, appropriately modest boxer shorts. Other types of underwear, including bloomers, slips, briefs, and boxer briefs all work as well." (Wikipedia entry).

This community has been pretty quiet lately, so I thought I'd post this. National Tartan Day is April the sixth. Go forth, celebrate, photograph, post!

My boyfriend would look HOT in a skirt...
If anyone here saw Troy, a lot of those guys looked very nice in skirts as well.
I'm third generation Scottish Immigrant, so I think this notion runs in my blood.
Kilt power!

Okay here's for you guys who haven't found this site. If you want to know what clans your related to go to www.clanfinder.com enter your last name, or your mothers maiden name, etc. and you will find which clans as well as the clans tartan, motto, and a brief history.
I'm closely related to clans Gordon and Macleod. I'm loosely related to Maclaren, Gunn, johnstone, and Stuart of Bute.
You guys probably already knew this stuff, but hey, just in case.
Cheers!
Shay
