Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

When I was in grad school, I worked at a Borders (back before Borders was owned by Kmart) and it was a very much more laid back and interesting place in those days (and the books were better too, but I digress). One of the more interesting and better things was the variety of individuals who were employed there - one of whom was a young Korean guy (i.e. not able to claim Scottish heritage) whom I liked and who frequently wore a kilt-ish sort of skirt. I think that the reason hegot away with it, and was still considered a pretty manly guy (in a Beckham-ish way) was because something about the way he wore it made it clear that it wasn't a skirt; I'm not clear on what that was, or even -realy- why that should make any sort of difference. Maybe it was because other ways in matters of dress he wore completely unremarkable clothing (I.e. a skirt - really even a miniskirt- but with a t-shirt and hi-top sneakers, which is the sort of thing I would wear, too, but I'm also completely flabbergasted at the idea that someone who is not required to by professional standards would ever wear women's shoes or clothing - anything, in fact, made for women, other than skirts - and of them, only a limited number of types.
