More things I never thought I'd have to wonder about.

If I wear a kilt, is it cross-dressing?

You see, part of yesterday's sacred theater festivities required me to wear a greatkilt, which agrnmn was kind enough to loan me, and triadruid was kind enough to dress me in. "I can kilt you," he said, "I mean, I've kilted iron_clad before." (Later, when he was crawling on top of me with his hands under my ass, trying to adjust the length of the kilt, I had to ask, "You did this to iron_clad?" "Not this part," he replied, "but if it helps you to get through the day to think that I did, go ahead.")

The reactions from other folks were odd. Some of this could be attributed to the gender question asked above (Quoth triadruid, "Between the wool and the T'ger shirt, it goes a long way to hiding the tits. Let me find you my sporran, and I think you could pass, from about 50 paces. Maybe even 30."). But probably some was also due to the fact that you could see my knees. To my knowledge, nobody's seen my knees when I wasn't either in the midst of dressing, or completely naked, in several years. I'm a big fan of the pants, and even when I wear the dresses (which only happens for costume purposes) they're long enough to cover my ankles.

Several of the guys asked if they could kilt-check me. These are, it should be noted, men that I have kilt-checked any number of times, so that was sort of funny. And then, there's this, also from triadruid, "Well, you've dressed me up as a girl several times. Now I get to dress you up as a boy. It all evens out." Yep. The relationship is alive and kinky.

I don't think it's any more cross-dressing for you than if I were to dress as a thug. But I do agree it was a stunning look for you, though I think you only could have passed as male if you didn't walk. That walk is...distinctive.

You're right about your knees -- they were so pale and lovely, peeking out between the darnkess of the kilt and the boots. Yup, you looked yummy. I bet it pleased agrnmn greatly to be all over you like that, at least in the form of his kilt. :)

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

agrnmn did say that he would be perfectly happy to let me get in his clothing any time. :)

Also, what walk? I walk like a gorilla.

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

Would that I had been there.

::shaking head::

Can anybody help me out here? Does this woman not realize how she walks?

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

It might've been right up your alley, kilts notwithstanding.

*shrug*
Last time I heard, it was "like a gorilla in a hurry" or "like [I] didn't have any idea what to do with my body, or like all [my] movements hurt".
I mean, I do try to be proud of my pained, confused gorilla walking style, and it probably is distinctive, but um. I learned how to walk like a girl, but I'm not sure I ever mastered it.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I'm agreeing with Saff. It was supposed to be a sort of a kick-in-the-pants experience, and I think it might have actually come off that way.

Also, yes, you probably did miss the only chance to see my knees for years to come. It could be like the orbit of a comet, or something. "Did you see the knees? Once a lifetime, you could see the knees." Heh. Or not.

She doesn't walk so much as slink.

*holds head in hands*

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

I'm no assistance here. I've been trying to tell her that she walks like a cat in heat for _years_...

Oops, looks like I tried again anyway. ;)

Maintain the Fiction.

The knees were part of why I advised you not to wear the flared black boots; they look ambiguous already, but with your smooth, hairless legs peeking out of the tops and just under the kilt, they would have distracted the illusion.

You do have nice legs, m'dear, but like the rest of you, they're not terribly masculine.

Re: Maintain the Fiction.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the taller boots were definitely better. I had forgotten that they *were* taller than the other pair, or I'd have put them on first.

You do have nice legs, m'dear, but like the rest of you, they're not terribly masculine.
Thank you for saying so. :) I do think that may be why I don't show them often, though. Not certain.

[bloodlikerain.livejournal.com]

this entry made me laugh prety hard, thanks:)

Re: *holds head in hands*

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Thank you -- both of you. Sex appeal, absolutely feminine though not girly, on the move. It works that way, whether she's wearing everyday clothing, a kilt, or footie pajamas.

And people say to themselves, day-um, and absolutely not in that "a gorilla just walked by" kind of way.

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

I got to see *the knees*. :-)

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm always willing to share my confusion for your entertainment :)

[hekatatia.livejournal.com]

In a greatkilt? Yes it is... Happen to get any pictures?

Gav's said his Scottish nan used to wear what he thought was a kilt.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the whole not-quite nine yards, but probably more like five. No pics, though. Didn't much occur to me.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Biazarre, no?

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Yup. Acres of wool, hand-pleated and belted and swung up over the shoulder, secured with a pin that drew blood. She did not look like she was wearing somebody else's clothing. Fabulous.

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

She doesn't walk, she glides. At least that's always been my impression.

That, and massively impressive hip action. I'm just sayin.'

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

Okay. So. You dressing up in men's clothing would make you...a feminine transgendered crossdresser? Did I get that right?

And well done, indeed! Wish I'd been able to be there to see. But I've already seen your knees, and I agree with everyone, they are quite the loveliness. :)

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Okay. So. You dressing up in men's clothing would make you...a feminine transgendered crossdresser? Did I get that right?

*shrug*
Hell if I know. I'm not all particular about any of it anyway. It's all good.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

That pin drew my blood about four times during the day -- triadruid was kind enough to put it on me in such a way that it didn't stab me in the tit, but that left it free to stab me in the hand. I was informed though that the way to make that work is to slip the pin back to the inside, and put a small cork on the end of it. Should I ever wear a greatkilt again, I will be certain to try this.

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

*giggle*

Yep, yep, all good. :)

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

No. I had never noticed that I had not seen your knees... It's just not something I really think about... :-)

What candyass told you that trick?

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Stabbing yourself with the penannular is part of the fun, plus, it improves your hand-eye coordination. ;)

Actually, I've never heard that before...

Re: What candyass told you that trick?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

senset, actually. But I don't think I'd call him a candyass. He's kind of a big burly dude, you know. :)
