Fine. It's a skort. I mean it's a skirt with shorts sewn into it so it's a skort, that's literally what the word is, I don't know why everyone acts like it's a whole thing.
Anyway. The outer part is a woven polyester, and it's the silky-smooth kind rather than the crunchy kind, which — okay, that actually matters, because the crunchy ones make a noise when you walk and everyone can hear you. The shorts underneath are a polyester-spandex lining so they stretch, plus there's a gusset lining, which is the panel that stops the seam doing the thing.
It's ultra high-waisted. Not high-waisted. Ultra. It sits up properly so it doesn't slide down when you're moving, which is the entire reason anyone buys anything, they just don't say it out loud. Dri-FIT moves the sweat off you so the fabric doesn't stick. There's one drop-in pocket and it fits most phones. It's machine washable.
There's reflective graphics on it.
Whatever, it's a good skort, I don't know what else you want from me.
Stamford. Okay so this is going to sound like I care but the First Presbyterian Church on Bedford Street is shaped like a fish. In plan. From above, the actual floor plan of the building is a fish, and it's got twenty thousand pieces of faceted glass in it, and they didn't have to do any of that. Twenty thousand. Somebody counted.
Also the Palace Theatre on Atlantic Street was a 1927 vaudeville house that basically died and then got brought back in 1983, which is — fine, that's a good story, I'm not going to pretend it isn't.
You'll wear this everywhere from a hot court to just walking around, and while you're here — Mill River Park is twenty-three acres and the cherry trees there are descended from a hundred and twenty that got given to the city in 1957, so those are grandchildren trees basically, which I'm not going to make a thing about.
And the Stamford Museum and Nature Center is a working farm that also has a twenty-two-inch telescope in an observatory. A farm. With a telescope. I mean. Sure. That's cool, I guess. It's cool.
