Kilts!!! My boyfriend has recently began to appreciate kilts for what they are...comfortable! We got him a leather kilt and he just finished making a nice plaid one. Here is the question, where do we get the thick wool kilt dress socks? I've tried looking around at local Irish and scottish gift and clothing stores to no avail. Any suggestions?

Romance was a huge thing when we first got together, 6 years ago. Since then, slowly he has gotten so comfortable with our relationship that he has stopped putting effort in. I used to get candle lit baths, love letters and all that crap. Between the two of us, he was always the one who remembered the date of our first date and that stuff. I'm romantic in a slightly different way. I try to make every moment we spend together special, passionate...while lately he has taken to watching tv obssessivley and saying "later" when I try to kiss him.

I know he isn't sleeping around, he doesn't have the time to between work, school and his kids. However, I'm begining to wonder if maybe he is just tired of me, or is it just my imagination?

How do I go about asking that to a man who is more sensative than I am? I'm afraid he'll be offended but I won't sit around and watch the passion bleed out of our relationship.

So, my boyfriend and I, for the past 6 years have been attending our local renaissance fair, as well as costume parties dressed as pirates. The costumes are nice, leather and other material. All in all, I think we spent about $1600 on them (we pieced them together over the years). However, it's time for some change. The boyfriend got a black leather kilt and is switching into a "dark" celt type costume.

I'm not really sure that I want to coordinate with it, so I am asking for some opinions. I'm a pale blonde, so I like darker colors vs. light. My current costume consists of a black leather corset with a red celtic knot on the front and shoulders. A red under dress with a black skirt under the dress. I have a red and black leather hat with tons of feathers. So here are a few of my ideas for the next costume, just tell me which you like, or make a suggestion. Thanks in advance!

1.) Gypsy garb: Halter with cross lacings that criss cross over the back and stomach to tie around waiste. With long skirt, coin belt and ankle bells. Colors in black and red. (tribal style)

2:) Gypsy Garb - Black half corset (wears like a bra), with sheer dark purple under shirt that has split bell sleeves, a chiffon emerald green and dark purple over skirt with a black harem pants underneath. Hip scarf and ankle bells.

3.) Irish garb - a black bodice with a black split front skirt, with a white under dress

I'm curious as to the number of people who like/dislike tattoos. Whether on themselves or other people.

My fiance and I both enjoy them and both have a few (just saturday got some filigree scrolls on my foot), however, we aren't covered from head to toe.

So, it got me wondering what everyone else thinks about them.

Residential speed in Mesa, Az is 25 miles an hour. I was doing 27 when I was flashed by a Speed Radar Van. Technically, I was 2 miles over the speed limit, however, I don't believe they would send me a ticket for those 2 miles. What's your opinion?

I've just recently aquired an old tea set and have a friend who would like to have traditional ceremony. Since I have the set, I figured I would attempt it for my friend, but want to do some reading on it first.
