Skirt

A skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped garment that hangs from the waist or hips and covers all or part of the legs.

The hemline of skirts can vary from micro to floor-length and can vary according to cultural conceptions of modesty and aesthetics as well as the wearer's personal taste, which can be influenced by such factors as fashion and social context. Most skirts are self-standing garments, but some skirt-looking panels may be part of another garment such as leggings, shorts, and swimsuits.

In the western world, skirts are more commonly worn by women; with some exceptions such as the izaar which is worn by Muslim cultures and the kilt which is a traditional men's garment in Scotland and Ireland. Some fashion designers, such as Jean Paul Gaultier, have shown men's skirts. Other cultures traditionally wear skirts.

At its simplest, a skirt can be a draped garment made out of a single piece of material (such as pareos), but most skirts are fitted to the body at the waist or hips and fuller below, with the fullness introduced by means of darts, gores, pleats, or panels. Modern skirts are usually made of light to mid-weight fabrics, such as denim, jersey, worsted, or poplin. Skirts of thin or clingy fabrics are often worn with slips to make the material of the skirt drape better and for modesty.

Skirts (TV series)

Skirts was an Australian television police drama broadcast on the Seven Network in 1990. Skirts was produced by Roger Le Mesurier and Roger Simpson. It was directed by Brendan Maher, Richard Sarell and Ian Gilmour.

Skirts was the story of intelligent, highly trained, resourceful police women. They were women of the 1990s and women of action but in the police force they still called them "skirts."

Skirts was not renewed after its first season of 13 episodes.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Comin' Up

    by: Saukrates

    Yo, I'm used to.. cold to the right, hot to the left,
    Turn them on, let the warm water run on my chest
    and wash away the stress.
    I swear to my mama she die a happy woman on my very last breath.
    Lookin back, reminisin'- how many have left us
    OGs who used to squeeze with the best touch.
    Hold they chrome, and hold they own. It's messed up,
    Now a nigga livin' through his ancestas.
    Saukrates - 23, turnin' like 45 in a year,
    I'm cravin' for the days when I'm out in the clear...
    you know, livin'.
    I might, sacrifice my life but I won't give in.
    Until we spokes has bin in, and my home is chilled out,
    and ain't dealin with no less than half a million.
    In a crib on some acres, and half these children.
    Livin' the life they deserve and just fake realism.
    I hit you with the wisom, you ain't with it
    then kiss 'em -- THE NUTS.
    If you dissin, watch me from a distance.
    I'ma hit you with the words that'll make your soul vibrate.
    The things that we contemplate, when we comin up...
    Keep this rap shit tight **AIGHT**.
    Imagine the day that's black forever,
    waitin' for the sun to come up.
    As hard as you try, it's a lie
    you can't change the weather.
    Maybe I should stop giving a fuck.
    *Plus* You bin tellin me that life goes on,
    but as this rap star trek belongs.
    You start wonderin' what else could go wrong..
    *All you can do is sing your song* in the pockets nigga.
    Nigga life time journey to the me, these endless questions,
    they play my dome-piece.. like:
    What am I do with all the groupies that I meet?
    Will I turn the other cheek,
    or do I turn the other cheek?
    Please freak, you gettin' touched by this
    West Indian connection,
    let me rub on your titties.
    -And get in it for a minute to win it,
    let you fall in love with it, then I'm out.
    'cause I got work to finish, the music is ma business.
    She love me, I trust her, to maximize my bigness.
    Now ladies, if u listenin I'ma make you my witness.
    I got no love for bitches.
    Baby, out with the quickness.
    Groupie parade plague, it's a categorized sickness.
    Who say, that brother socks got it locked from
    LA to Brickston, I'm broke,
    for niggas that kill for my position.
    I rap to that Vince Carter at Sky Dome,
    if you see me on the beat, ET phone home.
    And tell yo mama the drama - your old high school friends
    on the tube representin' Toronto.
    And doin' it right, pursuin his life.
    Disease to take flight when he caresses the mic.
    Sendin' this one out to cats with unsigned hype,
    just do it for you,
