CODE ALPHA

The brand new pandemic cruise ship comedy, CODE ALPHA, makes its world debut tonight at the Brick Theatre in Wllliamsburg, Brooklyn.  I try to avoid the hipster oasis/mirage known as the Burg-unless I'm looking to buy a pair of fashionable high waisted shorts-  but it appears to be downtown theatre's latest refuge. And so I begrudgingly join the throngs rive droite....
So update your tetanus shots and pull out that prairie dress.....

skorts!


skort [skort] noun: shorts with full legs and a central flap in the front  ORIGIN a blend of skirt and short

The spork of ladies active wear.  Garment purgatory personified.  Fashion multitasking at its finest.   I could go on and on.  And I have for a week now.
I've had so much trouble tracking a pair down- here in NYC! the international capitol of the strange, the rare, and discontinued!- I've begun to think I've made them up.  And certainly, the befuddled look on every salesgirl's face from Kmart to Modell's has only confirmed that I am indeed a mad woman, inventing new fashion fusions.  
But they're real.  I swear.  And I need a pair.
