1. My ex went through a drag phase and I dressed up a couple of times
just for laughs.

2. I had to go with the "Gender bending rocks!" option, KamaAina
Edited on Tue Sep-21-10 02:38 PM by Tobin S.
I've never had a desire to do it and being a 5'10" 240 pound man I don't think I'd look too good in drag, but I am supportive of my cross-dressing brethren (and sisteren, too).

3. Love to wear Kilt everyday
but pre sewn kilts are $$$$$ My great kilt would take me a long time to fold with two new kittens chewing it to bits not to mention the cat hair problem.

15. I think they're maybe not so "util" ...
for riding a motorcycle.

Might be a bit breezy.

4. Not applicable to me, as I am female, but...
...some years ago I met up with a friend whom I'd previously known only through the mail and over the net. I was driving through his home town and we took the opportunity to hang out, he and I and a few other friends. It was only some hours into the meeting that I realized he was wearing a long skirt. Somehow it didn't look unusual or out of place at all - to the point that I barely even registered it. When I did notice it, I thought it was cool.

5. Regularly, no. Because I made one sorry-looking drag queen,
even for Halloween. Not even RuPaul could salvage the mess.

6. I suppose regularly counts me out, but whatev
I would wear a kilt more often if I could come up with any justification. I just don't happen to have the heritage to do it credibly. A toga on the other hand...


And as for just a plain ol dress... In my size, its called a mu mu, and they are frowned upon by those I love, taken as a sign that one has given up all self respect. My normal Bahama Hobo look is far enough into casual comfort to discourage most uptight people from befriending me, I do not feel the need to take on the fashion statement that is the mu mu.

11. I am pretty sure that
once again, in my size, they cease being what they were and instead technically become a mu mu.

16. Not to get all "fashionista" on ya, but wouldn't a kilt be a skirt and
not a dress? ;)
