Just saw an old friend's post on Facebook, inviting people to go to a bar called "The Tilted Kilt". I think I may have heard of this place before from Clay and/or Christie...so I went to the website to have a look for myself. Two words:
Um, ew.
Is it me??? If the girls were cute and walked around in kilts, I think I'd be OK with it. (Especially if they were serving fried pickles.) But giant ta tas stuffed into giant tartan bras to match the aforementioned kilts? Let me state again...
Um, ew.
I mean, the place was started in Vegas by an Italian guy who wanted to create a Celtic atmosphere in general; Irish, Scottish, English...it's all here.
And ta tas. Giant, tartan, scantily clad ta tas.
And again, I ask: Is it me??? I am pretty hip...I'm pretty cool...I am not a stuffed shirt by any means. (See my My Dream Man Purgatory blog for confirmation.) But this? I feel like it is a slap in the face to the men who lived and died in those kilts in the Highlands all those years ago. Men who, I might add, would probably dig the heck out of The Tilted Kilt. Let's call a spade a spade. I'm sure Jamie would have tried not to stare at any of the giant tatas...and he would have been extraordinarily uncomfortable when they - intentionally or not - happened to rub up against him. Mmm hmmm.
I guess maybe I feel that if you are going to sport a certain culture's garb - past or present - you should know and respect its' origin. But that makes me a hypocrite as there are an obscene amount of jeans in my wardrobe and all I know about their origin is that denim was a sturdy fabric created for the working man.
Where is the origin of the tartan bra? The Tilted Kilt? And should I therefore respect it? I think not. I think...unfortunately...that I am left feeling like this:
Um, ew.
PS - WHAT is that accent? American-Actress-Scots-Mixed-With-Spanish?!?
I would like to know who is actually working at the pubs because I can be pretty sure that it won't be the ladies in the commercials.
ReplyDeletePlus it would be interesting to see what the "job description" is and who they would actually hire. mmm hmm
I personally don't have a tartan bra but if I saw one in a store I might be tempted to buy it. I don't know if I would wear it with those white shirts though! lol!
Oh how very right you are. I had heard of "Hooters" for years but finally entered one last year (in between a wedding and its reception, no less)...and thought "um, seriously?" about the supposed-to-be "hot" chicks running the joint. So I'm totally with you on this, Menatra. I may have to visit one of these places, just to get a photo and share it with all y'all. ;)
DeleteThat commercial just made me feel yucky. 'Nuff said.
ReplyDelete(And that's the extent of my thoughtful commentary. :-P)
YOu are NOT KIDDING. That blonde looks like she was snatched right off the Debbie Does Dallas 3D (This time it's personal) set. Gross.
DeleteNay, I say.
ReplyDeleteYey for your nay, I say! :)
DeleteWonder if there are any male waiters. I'm not interested in these women but some nice looking men in kilts - might be nice!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you, Anonymous. Which makes me a big, honkin, HYPOCRITE! LOLOL!!! :)
DeleteThis makes me giggle soooo much! When we (Me, my friend Robin, Clay, and Georgie) stumbled into the Tilted Kilt in Atlanta last year, I had *no* idea what kind of place it was and apologized profusely to Georgie for picking it! Clay swears that he didn't mind... *and* claims that he didn't notice the dragon tat our sexy (?!) little waitress was sporting up her rib cage right between her tartan bra and kilt. Apparently the man needs glasses. Or perhaps he is just a really good (bad?) liar.

Just catching up on this. IIRC the aforementioned dragon tat was on her right side (I was told, since I never saw it) and she always stood to my right, so it was facing Robin, not me. I almost always notice tats... that's tats, not tatas, though I usually notice those too.
