Hey All,

Am a little excited about this.......a few months back i put in an application for apparel sponsorship with SkirtSports, because Im a bit of a fan of the running skirt    as you may already know!. I wasnt sure if i had much chance of being chosen as I figured they'd be looking for elite athletes so i chose to go down the 'you really could do with some australian exposure' route.

I just got an email this morning asking if Id be interested in being part of the SkirtSport Entourage Team, meaning doing promotional work - expos, booths at events etc etc

Im not too sure on details at this stage, i was just asked if interested, but it seems they may be wanting to be involved in events across the country. So i mentioned i had some skirt-wearing friends across the country that may also be keen to assist.

So am wondering, if anyone out there might be interested in helping if i get chosen?.......will mean free skirts!!!!

[PlodBod]

Yes, yes, yes  

Go Team Chicken!

[Caliente]

I would be very interested. I'm not a full-on runner yet..but I am fit and do other sports.

Let us know. very exciting.

[sook54]

Hey this is my kind of thread! I'm still in love with my running skirts, and as you know Ploddy and I have already engaged in some serious modelling and promotion activities, with mixed success (Danny are you still out there?).

[emjay]

definitely, I love my skirts!

[Bellthorpe]

I don't care how free they are, I'm not going to run in a skirt!

[sook54]

Awww, running free takes on a whole new meaning for the gentlemen amongst us!

[tim]

I always thought a skirt would be practical.

now that would be a seriously cool photo shoot if we could get a male CR in a skirt - come on guys!  I can think of several off the top of my head that would be game.... want me to name names??

I loved the skirt Carmen was wearing in Canberra and think I'll have to get me one of them!

yes siry bob.

it is all about the GCM and triathlons now.

no more BHB's I am waxed and tanned.

A skirt will show off that fake tan perfectly!

[PlodBod]

The skirts aren't short enough to show off Tim's tan.

[kathmandu]

Ive done expos before for one of my businesses and if theres something ive learned.....the way to attract females to your stand is to have a nice looking fella (in this case with nice looking legs) involved.

So Tim, Wombat, your services will be much appreciated!! thanks. And Bellthopre, I'll be working on you.

In the US they also get into events. They have a Skirt Chaser Race Series. I think it works by letting the girls go first and then the guys chase them down...sounds like fun. We might even be able to get some of those organised over here.

Hope they accept me, fingers crossed.

Or legs crossed.  In Tim's case.

[emjay]

get waxing, boys!

[Danny]

Hi Sook,

I saw this thread and thought *movie flash back montage here*  ITS HAPPENING AGAIN...... sorry I have myself together now.  Hey Psychochicken well done to you!!

Now I am always scared that over clarification can get you in more trouble than its worth BUT I do like the look of a healthy woman in a running skirt.  As Sook knows this somehow ended in ME being volunteered for the Central Coast Half skirt wearing team!  *thinks* maybe I should stop posting in all those guys who wax their legs topics that come up!

Give 'em hell Psychochicken!

Cheers,

Danny

Yes, definitely!

[phYx]

I'd be interested for sure!! Never worn a skirt while running but have been eyeing them off. Happy to help for free skirts!

Count me in !! way to go chicken - Received some feedback regarding my running skirt from a great looking guy with great legs after the marathon on Sunday. Unfortunately turned out to be a case of mistaken identity

[gogirl]

I can think of one male CR triathlete who already wears a pink blouse. So I guess wearing a skirt wouldn't take much convincing.  

[Soy Latte]

how cute.....

I didn't even know that you could buy running skirts.

The credit card is going too,   not look healthy.


cheers

Ha - ok I am in!

Danny, on Nov 19 2007, 08:23 PM, said:

Ha - of course my legs are better (and already shaved down thank you very much Plod Bod!)

Danny, on Nov 28 2007, 09:29 PM, said:

You ladies are hard to please if you expect me to coordinate hair and top aswell!!

I agree with Plod Bod about never racing in gear you haven't tried so its the tried and true shorts for the race but as for the after race photo... catch me if you can!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I put it to you that on Nov 17 2007 at 10.19am Coolrunner Danny did wholeheartedly volunteer HIMSELF for a unique and never-to-be-repeated postrace skirt-wearing photograph opportunity, and that on several occasions thereafter, as we have amply demonstrated, he continued to affirm his intentions of doing so. I therefore put it to you that Coolrunner Danny is guilty, nay HEINOUSLY guilty, of the crime of Breach of Promise.

The next question that I beg you to consider, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is an appropriate punishment for said crime. Submissions will be accepted below.

Yours,

Judge Sooky Sook of the 143rd high court of the Sexy Skirt

[Jaxta]

Count me in too! Best of luck with it!

[Danny]

OMG I forgot!  You can never escape your past in Cool Running!  *thinks* think quick *got it!* - I believe the challenge firmly laid down was - catch me if you can!!!

postrace?  pfffft

City 2 Surf would be a perfect opportunity for the whole digs I reckon

[Danny]

Thanks for the support!  *god I'm done for*

What a great idea! We could have the CR skirt runners in the C2S.

[tim]

the best look is on the trail where you can match your hat, top, skirt and dirty girl gaiters.

[sook54]

Hey Danny, I'm ready to forgive and forget Thanks anyway for your ongoing support of the general enterprise of skirt-wearing.

[Danny]

Thanks Sook!!  I will be running in the C2S and will look forward to the great (female!) skirt wearing demonstration!  Of course if you want to venture up for the Hunter Valley running festival in July http://www.hevents.net/ or the Lake Macquarie Half Marathon http://www.lakehalf....e-mac-half.html these are great events that would do justice to the girls of CoolRunning.

I think Wombat is looking for a way to get more hugs and kisses on his next run

the two of you will make a lovely couple in your skirts

wooh there!

[sook54]

Hey Psycho, I'm working on an idea for the great skirt-chase Australian style - we send Tim, Wombat and Danny ahead in their skirts and the women have to chase them and ... ??? Given their recent stellar performances at marathons we might have to slow them down a tad to prevent them disappearing over the horizon in a cloud of dust, so they will have to wear high heels (with matching gaiters, of course, thanks Tim for that idea!).

Sounds to me like a grown up version of kiss chasey!!!! although more like Drag Chasey!

Thats a great idea......can we colour code them, kinda like the wiggles?

[Danny]

Its happening again!!!! thinks *please don't make me the purple one*

Ummm plod - the idea is we chase the boys.......who are colour coded.
Unless you're up for a lesbian experience of course  


Geeeeeez i was going to send a link to this thread to SkirtSports as evidence of support over here, but the way its deteriorating i dont think i will. They'll be going 'thoooose Aaaaassies are weird'

this thread just keeps getting better

[wombatoutofhell]

If you ladies were chasing us who says we'll even run?  If Tim was chasing me I'd set a new PB over any distance-and he'd still catch me.  Plodbod the pink ones mine and you'll have to rip it off me before I give it up!  Don't tell Mrs Wombat!
Tell us more about the lesbian thing.

[Danny]

Hey Tim - I think it has now reached rock bottom - and started to dig!

You can never get enough hugs and kisses.

wooh there!

What did I do?????

[sunny1]

Do they make compression skirts? I'd like one of them ... for training and recovery!!  

[TRAVY]

I just found this thread and I am not going back to read all the posts. But I have read some. "Running Skirts" Why I ask. looking at the pic you still have to ware bike shorts or something a like.  So why not just have the bike shorts or just normal running shorts.

I have run in a skirt but that is another story ?

[emjay]

the point of the running skirts is that the shorts are built-in, so there is no need to wear a separate pair underneath. although i think some of the guys may look even more fetching in these shorts from the same company:

So, Travy, want to share that skirt story with us?

Edited by emjay, 18 April 2008 - 04:03 PM.

[Pelagie]

I certainly would be interested in giving them a go    Good luck and keep us posted PsychoChicken
