Kilt porn, of course.
But until I’m ready to actually pose in them, here’s a shot of the FINALLY completed Toirneach Kilt Hose!
They are warm and squishy and just generally great. The garter on one of them isn’t quite as tight as I’d like, so I’m afraid there is a little sag when I wear [...]

I spent another weekend up at my mom’s. There was one last kink to iron out in the new computer I built for her, namely the sound card. Stupid on-board sound would not work with Windows for some reason, and I’m not savvy enough in the ways of Windows to figure out what [...]
