I can imagine that kilt checks must be very trying, compliment or not its just rude. I think what gets my goat are people who just dont get into the faire, Its a wonderful place where we can be our best self. I cant understand people who cant feel, taste, enjoy, and become a buzz with excitement at all there is to see and do. I think it makes me sad more than angry.

 The same etiquette applies to kilted men, as applies to ladies in dresses.  It's considered bad form to sneak a peek.

Don't kilt check unless:

1)You know the person.
2)You know them well enough to handle a 'surprise', and you know they wont' mind.
3)You are invited, in which case you will probably get flashed.

Considering the scuttling of a traditional part of the Faire because of "johnny-come-lately" prudes who comparatively haven't dropped a dime in comparisson to regular attendees who have contributed  more to your pockets than they EVER will!!!

Agreed Rowen MacD and well met!

I have no problem with the person who asks, as it 1, gives me time to "warn" them and 2, make sure the area is clear of little ones, no pun intended, lol. Also no issue with the ones with whom I know as they all know what to expect and where it is appropriate...

Good day my Lady!

 Indeed Sir Adam, Well met!
    My own Laird wears a kilt to faire, and no one kilt checks him but me  ;D
    As for Himself, he would prefer it that I kilt check no one else  ;)

I haven't been called that in about 40 years and haven't even heard the word spoken aloud in about 20.

  Hussy and Tart are getting rare even at faire.  

 People are so PC they don't even want to throw fake insults around anymore.

Yea - hubby routinely calls me a termagant and/or a harridan; cause few folks realize what it means.  We both get a kick out of it, cause he SAYS he means it facetiously.

I don't get too worked up about kilt checks at faire as long as they are done right; asking first, descreet, etc...
The surprize ones, well that's one of the reasons I carry a stick
