Scotland Takes Center Stage at "Dressed to Kilt" Event

Last night the kilts came out for the Dressed to Kilt fashion show and charity event (benefiting the Friends of Scotland charity), hosted at M2. Hopefully this will be the only time that Sir Sean Connery, Obama Girl and Real Housewives Alex McCord are ever in the same room together, as the bold-faced names mingled with the D-listers all in the name of Scotland. While models debuted traditional kilts and fashion-forward couture, the big names also walked the runway in the appropriate plaid garb. Sadly, there were no upskirt shots of Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick, but a model gave the audience a (SFW) full frontal peak. Enjoy!

Great! As an Urquhart descendant, (in "A Bridge Too Far" Mr. Connery plays one), and a bridge where Rob Roy almost hangs after jumping with a rope around his neck (played by Liam Neeson, our condolences to him and his loved ones) I once saw an interesting painting. Perhaps you've seen it. Very old, 17th century (?), and the gentleman is wearing plaid trousers? Maybe they invented them? I watched online George Whipple's report on NY,1 if you want to see these stills move a bit.

Mike Myers should go back to Canada with that jersey & take the fake couple from NYC housewives with him ... how do you say, a bit over exposed ... why are these people even on TV so sad.

This was for charity? I thought it was a Urologist's convention.

That kilt must be the tartan of the McChippendales clan.

I guess they needed Connery as a reminder there's at least one straight Scotsman left.

what the hell is going on? This is like those dreams you have where you're in a room with your middle school girlfriend, grandparent's next door neighbor, high school science teacher, college drinking buddy, and current coworker all at once.
