Instead of having dinner at my friend’s house, we decided to go out to eat at Mariachi, a Mexican restaurant. On the way there, we were all laughing and talking about random subjects. When we passed The Tilted Kilt, a restaurant, we began talking about that. I didn’t know what it was, so my friend Olivia explained.

They would rather express attitude in the way they dress. I must admit that it is difficult to avoid the temptation of dressing like everybody else. Clothes that are meant to be childish and innocent have been transformed into a grown-up and sexy style. An article by Lianne George called "Why are we dressing our daughters…

After 300 came out, I noticed an increase in the number of my students who thought that Thermopylae was the reason the Persians lost that war, and Braveheart has certainly given people the idea that medieval Scots wore great kilts, when in reality the Scottish kilt is a late 16th century development. Small historical inaccuracies…
