This website is here to help promote and justify the option of wearing of skirts, by Men.
All over the world, Men can be found in skirts, whether it is called a Kilt, 
a Sarong, Sulu, Kikoi, or any other name,
I am not intending to upset our Celtic neighbours,
but in my humble opinion anything that wraps around the body is a form of skirt.
So the word skirt, on this site, refers to any and every garment that wraps around you and has no centre seam.
This is NOT a site about cross dressing !
Apologies for not updating this site lately, Just pressure of other jobs,
As there is a new version due out at the end of January 2012, many of the applications I have on this site are not being updated, therefore, I am leaving this on the old but updated version.!
MORE apologies, To those who emailed me and are still waiting for a very belated reply, My 'Umble groveling apologies. Getting round to the backl log.
I don't have a problem with crossdressing.
Ladies, if you want to put on some men's jeans, a mans shirt, Doc Martens, and wear boy cut panties with a fly ! Then I support your freedom of choice.
but that is not what this site is about.
This is simply a site for Men who find a skirt comfortable.
When you consider the male anatomy, to have a seam that is trying to cut you in half is madness, plus the trend is for more and more baggy underpants and trousers, so our "dangly bits" get less and less support and more seams to batter and bruise us.
The general view of a man who wears or says he would like to wear a skirt, is suspect to say the least,
Some would see him as being confused about his sexuality, or trying to get in touch with his feminine side.
However, for some reason Ladies who wear mens jeans, sweaters, shirts, hats, or even "boy short panties" are not asked if they are trying to get in touch with their masculine side ! Nor are they accused of cross dressing. Except by me...!
It seems that the constraints placed on "acceptable" male attire are a bit unfair!
I could wear an earring, nipple ring and have rings in other parts of my anatomy that just doesn't bear thinking about!
I can wear all sorts of "Bling" Neck chains or pendants, wrist chains and rings. If I had more hair I could have a pony tail,
Any of these would be perceived as expressing my individuality, or at worst eccentricity.
Put on a skirt!? Well, Have I "turned"?.... Am I wearing a Bra? , My sexuality is called into question!
I hate to admit this, but I remember the '1970's when Guy's were seen in Kaftans etc, flared jeans and flowery shirts.
Sadly the era of the "male peacock" has gone, All we have now is the "grey man" ,
All the images in the slide show have been sent in and are used with the subjects permission, with one exception, and that is the picture of a guy in a utilikilt at Womad, the picture was taken by my brother in law and I would like to know who it is and get their consent,
If you are a bloke in a skirt and look like a bloke in a skirt, rather than a bloke trying to look like a woman, and would like to join the hall of fame or rogues gallery, Please send me your picture including your face
After a long gap of stagnation, I was contacted by the Linc, the ezine of Lincoln Uni,
The Journalist was writing about men in skirts.
Having read the article, I thought it was well written and presented, apart from the picture of Jdez, This guy has been promoting the cause for longer than I have, However, in my humble opinion, the image is far too feminine and NOT portraying the ability to wear a skirt in a masculine way,
Therefore I am not linking to the "linc" article as the whole ethos I am trying to advocate is a masculine take on the option of a skirt or sarong for a bloke.
Kilts don't require any support from me, as they already carry a masculine image and strangely a common belief they are exclusively Scottish, Which of course they ain't.
This site: Over the years that this site has been running, in various formats, I have dropped some of the content,
Now we are on Joomla 1.5.23 which seems pretty stable, ( Not upgrading to 1.6 for a while !)
Update: 22nd of July 2011
Now Joomla 1.7 is available, So I have started to rebuild this site on that platform, Sadly some of the extensions I am using here will not work on the new system. Going to have a play around and see how it functions, I may even try some other cms like wordpress or drupal, Both are good, but as I have been playing with Joomla since it's start after Mambo, that is a lot of time to not utilise
.The news module seems to work, so I shall keep looking for info from the media, good or bad.
As for the blog, I will try much harder to talk about my mundane and rustic lifestyle, as lets face it, A man in a skirt should be such a minor detail, that it ain't worth mentioning,
Sadly, as yet that isn't the case. My blog is not intended to be a skirt blog as such, just a blog on a skirt website,
All I need to do is write something.! My feeble excuse is that I have been up to my eyes in other projects, But I will try harder.
As for the name "bobclops"? That was the name of a cat who lived here, His name was Bob but he lost an eye. so .....
Links on this site are shown as the little gif at the top right, put there without the owners permission as I just wanted to publicise things I like. The Banners are my choice, Midas as they are near me in Manchester,
The Orchid and Prostate cancer banners are there simply because I feel that male cancers get little or no publicity . Everyone knows about the breast cancer charities and that could be the fact that it is a woman thing, Although men can and do get breast cancer, I feel it gets plenty of coverage.
Men on the other hand, are likely to be the ones to leave things until it is too late, Most men run their hands over their genitals in the shower and slap on the shower gel, It is not forbidden to check for lumps that weren't there yesterday. SO LOOK. Grope yourself, If you are fortunate enough to have someone to do it for you, so much the better. Prostate, well you may be short of volunteers !
MS? I put that in, as it is a cruel and unfair world, MS is part of it. I have a lovely friend who is living with it, and money is needed to fund research. I realise there are many charities and organisations that need this, but I can only do a few, So that is my choice. The only other commercial advert is my own little hosting and webstuff business.
USELESS INFO: This site gets between 3000 and 8000 hits a day, Now that is clicks not unique visitors, So I know it isn't a lot, however at least the subject is still being talked about. The traffic increases as the weather warms up.!
