Sweden: Male Train Drivers Don Skirts
Via @TedFrank -- love this -- story about a dozen male train drivers in Sweden circumventing a ban on shorts by wearing skirts to work in hot weather. From the BBC:
The workers, who operate the Roslagsbanan line north of the capital Stockholm, have been wearing skirts to work for the past two weeks.Employer Arriva banned the drivers from wearing shorts after taking over the running of the line in January.
But the company has given the men its blessing to wear skirts, according to local newspaper Mitti.
"Our thinking is that one should look decent and proper when representing Arriva and the present uniforms do that. If the man only wants [to wear] a skirt then that is OK," Arriva communications manager Tomas Hedenius told the paper.
"To tell them to do something else would be discrimination."
I do have a thing for a man who wears a skirt well:
That is just so dorky.

Oh yeah, the dudes too. I love a man in a kilt! Especially a long-haired blond man. Gets me every time!

Question: Is anything worn under the kilt?
Answer: Nay, it's all in perfect working order!

Why are the kilts hiking up in the second picture? Marilyn Monroe impression? Not that I'm complaining. They have gorgeous legs.
