Hello From Toronto - Part 6 - The Toronto International Dragonboat Festival 2006 By: Susanne Pacher One of my favourite spots in Toronto is the Toronto Islands, that lovely patch of land right in front of downtown Toronto, separated by just a sliver of water. So close, yet so far from the city's hustle and bustle. One of the biggest events on the Islands is the Toronto Dragonboat Festival, a family event organized by the Toronto Chinese Business Association. In addition to being a great entertainment event, the Dragonboat Festival is also a big fundraiser for the Canadian B... Tags: Toronto, Toronto travel, CN Tower, Casa Loma, Niagara Falls

Scottish Weddings - Whose Tartan Is It Anyway ? By: Sreve Dickson I am sure that you have all seen a Scottish traditional wedding, maybe you were a guest, maybe you have seen relatives photos or you may have seen it on television. You will have seen all the men dressed in their finest wearing kilts, plaids, kilt flashes (little pieces of cloth hanging out their sock) and other tartan pieces. You may have also seen the bride wearing a tartan sash. They are all usually in the same tartan, how do they know what one to wear?

Scottish Kilts - Or Are They? By: Sreve Dickson On a recent trip to our wonderful capital, Edinburgh, I was appalled and dismayed to see what rubbish was getting peddled as “Scottish” on the main streets and in some of the main shops. As a Scotsman very proud of my heritage, it saddened me to the pit of my stomach to see what was allowed to be sold to unsuspecting people, especially those people wonderful enough to have taken the time out to visit us from other countries, as Scottish workmanship and products.

What do men wewar under the kilt By: michal costaminnego An Irishman goes to the local pub to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, like he does every day, and gets wasted out of his mind. He stumbles outside when the bartender tells him that he's had enough, but he can barely walk. So he leans up against a tree, where he passes out. A few minutes later, a couple of fine lassies go walking by. One says to the other one, "Do you think they wear anything under those kilts?" She admits that she doesn't know. So they go to check it out. She lifts up the kilt and sees him in all his glory. As they replace the kilt and get ready to walk away, an idea enters one of their heads. "Give me your blue hair ribbon," she says. Reluctantly, she hands it over. She goes back over to the Irishman, lifts up the kilt, and ties the ribbon to him. They walk away laughing.

Skirts for women, trousers for men By: michal costaminnego Fashion as any different part of human life has it's own stereotypes. Many years ago it was said: tights, scarves, skirts, long hair and make up are for women, trousers, ties, short hair and suits are for men. Are those days a history now?

The Kilt: Authentic Scottish Wear For A Modern Age By: Lukasz Dunikowski The kilt may seem a quaint anachronism in these modern times, something that a brave few Scotsmen don on special days.

Wedding Announcements Announcing Your Marriage to Everyone! By: Sarah Porter Purchasing wedding shower invitations online is a great way to save money on the wedding shower cards.
