I have this embarrassingly shallow hate-love thing with luxury in Charlottesville. I get nosy and greedy, curious and snarky about what seems richie-rich and off-limits to Joe Schmoes like me. At the same time, I love being immersed, if only for a few hours, in the grandeur, style, and creative exuberance of what’s fancy and pretty and stimulating and totally out of reach in my normal day-to-day life.
If you, like me, are petty-minded, covetous, and inclined to mock things you secretly really, really wish you could afford—or (a more attractive option), if you merely have wondered what lies behind that stately Jeffersonian facade on the way to the JPJ—then you’ll understand why I had to peek inside.
Who knew every staff member there would be so preposterously friendly, every detail so authentically welcoming, that I would fall in love with the damn place? They even give a portion of proceeds to fund financial aid at Darden. Daggone it! How dare they turn my sour grapes into a delightful cocktail of sparkling wine and effusive good will? I was shaken, I was stirred. Where’s the fun in that?
Trust me, there’s fun galore when you let Darden’s Kimpton The Forum Hotel bless you with a little local TLC.

Why
Because when you get the chance to play Cinderella at a world-class inn located right here in our humble city, if we can refer to UVA’s North Grounds as “the city,” you take it! Plus, dogs are welcome.
How it went
In a word: Wow. I mean, your mouth can’t help forming “wow” upon entering the expansive lobby, bathed in natural light from a huge Rotunda-style domed window, with a spectacular view of the arboretum out back. An art installation of translucent white leaves and buds descends from the ceiling in front of the window, twirling ever so slightly, as if communing with the trees outside.
Okay, maybe I’m a gawker and a rube. All I can say is thank goodness for the long blue sofas framing the lobby, because I needed a fainting couch to catch me, especially after a complimentary glass of bourbon lemonade. I don’t even drink! Or so I thought, two glasses (three?) later.
In a blissful, boozy blur, I checked out the plush lounge areas; the state-of-the-art meeting spaces; the bustling bar; the jaw-dropping local art; and the glorious outdoor patios, trails, and botanical garden.
Then, we dined. Oh, how we dined, darling! A cocktail, a mocktail, a roasted bone-marrow fantasy of an appetizer, the crispy skin salmon, the seasonal fruit sorbet. Birch & Bloom, the steakhouse helmed by Executive Chef Eric Brownlee, blew my little celiac mind, right down to gluten-free “white truffle oil over classic air-popped popcorn,” for snacking in my room.
Ah, that room. Immaculate, modern, and cushy—and I’m just describing the dog’s bed.
I thought I’d feel like a poor relation in a manor of lords, but all around I saw just regular people. Students in shorts and baseball caps, faculty in…well, you know how faculty dress. No “Succession”-style masters of the universe, no “White Lotus” snooties (though I did spy a dead ringer for Jennifer Coolidge).
Believe the Forum folks when they tell you you’re welcome there, even if you don’t stay overnight. Walk your dog along the trails or work from the lobby. Enjoy weekday morning coffee on the patio, breathing in the green of the garden. Grab a burger and beer at The Good Sport before a game. Meet friends for drinks at the bar or a foodgasm at Birch & Bloom. Why feed your snark when you can feast on a local slice of heaven?
As You Like It runs through May 14 at Staunton’s American Shakespeare Center, where everyone has a role to play. Image courtesy ASC.
Ah, springtime in Charlottesville, a veritable petticoat junction of daffodils, bluebells, and redbuds tossing their skirts in the breeze—as Shakespeare might say.
After all, Shakespeare coined the phrase “petticoat junction” in one of his most excellent comedies, Much Ado About the Beverly Hillbillies.
What’s that you say? My cultural references smack of senility? Fie on this tale told by an idiot?
Yes, you’re right, and I know it. Somehow I’ve let 20 frowzy, frazzled years of motherhood turn my “cultural life” into an unweeded garden, rank and gross in nature. My idea of high art these days is a “Schitt’s Creek” rerun accompanied by a bowl of Cheerios.
Alas, alack, even Moira Rose would find my cultural sloth appalling. So with an empty nest and no excuses left, I recently ventured over the mountain to the literary mecca in Charlottesville’s backyard: the Blackfriars Playhouse at the American Shakespeare Center, home of “the world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre” (according to the ASC’s website).
Thus did I find myself in Staunton on a chilly Saturday night before Easter, transported, and, dare I say, culturally resurrected, by a rollicking performance of As You Like It.
What
A live Shakespeare production in central Virginia’s version of the Globe Theatre.
Why
Because not once in 20 years have I seen an ASC show—despite being an English major and a Shakespeare-lover (my kingdom for a midsummer night with Shakespeare in Love’s Joseph Fiennes! By my troth, that’s one yummy Bard).
How it went
Something about the nonprofit, educational vibe of the lobby made us feel like misbehaving sixth graders on a school-sponsored field trip. Oh no, why did we think this would be cool and fun? Would we be straining to endure a stiff, over-the-top piece of “the-a-ter?” Would we be nodding off but trying hard to pretend we weren’t so that the cast wouldn’t be able to see us snooze? Would my Shakespeare-averse husband make a fast break for Charlottesville once we got to intermission, leaving me to get home in an Uber?
Here’s how good the show was: There was my husband, singing along with the cast, clapping, chortling, and wiping away tender tears. The only other time I’d seen him like this was when the Nationals won the World Series.
How do I explain the energy and charisma of the cast? Seven actors—only seven—playing multiple roles on a stage with no fixed or fancy set. And yet, somehow, you never doubted that each character in the play was that character, and no one else. Topher Embrey, for example, played the mercurial Duke Frederick with thundering command, and then, a quick costume change later, brought the house down as the straw-chewing hillbilly, Corin. Annabelle Rollison delivered a heartbreaking “seven stages of man” speech as Jaques, but had the audience guffawing as the pumped-up wrestler, Charles.
The dazzling cast didn’t just perform for us, they played with us, physically drawing us into the fun and magic of the show. Before the play even started, the actors warmed up the crowd with their own band, playing Hootie and Taylor hits with wry self-awareness, shaming us into singing along. Once the play began, the performers popped up behind, around, and right in front of us, literally climbing over the seats at one point, and sobbing into the lap of a good-humored audience member at another. It was hilarious, exhilarating, and oddly moving in how it connected us all—Shakespeare’s characters, the players themselves, and the enraptured audience.
My husband said he hadn’t expected the show to feel so personal, as if the cast was talking directly to you. “It felt like when you made eye contact with them, they knew you,” he said.
That’s what great art can do—make you feel heard, known, recognized, and maybe even reborn.

When our kid went off to college in late August, my husband and I rejoiced. Freedom! Finally, we had our lives back! Time to work out, eat out, and party like it’s 2002 (the year before our kid was born).
We started off strong. While walking the dog one September evening we stopped by a friend’s housewarming gathering. Fifteen minutes later, we left, high-fiving each other over our social stamina.
The adventure continued—a week later we impulsively made reservations for dinner at a restaurant! Seated by 5:30pm, finished by 6:30pm, home in time for the evening news—we were living the life, just like Jerry’s parents on “Seinfeld.”
By October, we were falling asleep in front of the TV at 8:30pm, lulled by the prattle of “Emily in Paris.” Sedentary dotage beckoned like a dreamy siren call from our cushy couch. What could break the spell and lure us into the land of People Who Go Out and Do Stuff at Night?
Dangerous and wild though it sounds, the answer was (not so) obvious: trivia nights.
What
Trivia nights at local breweries.
Why
Because if anything can keep me awake past 7pm, it’s the borderline sociopathic desire to crush the friendly neighborhood competition. (Nothing says “I’m not dead yet” like coming in third out of 11 on a quiz about movies made in the 1970s.)
Vibe: low-key, flannels and fleece, dog- friendly.
Style: We used our smartphone to access and play the game (via Geeks Who Drink, a national trivia quiz service). A charming DJ led us through rounds of categories like Ten Letters and Starts with a ‘D,’ spinning upbeat oldies (“Bust a Move”) while I cursed my husband for not coming up with the no-brainer answer (somehow eluding me) to the question about an instrument made from a hollowed-out eucalyptus trunk (didgeridoo, dammit!).
Takeaway: Proudly veteran-owned. Bring a pizza and a pup, and settle in for tough questions and good beer.
Starr Hill Downtown
Vibe: Buzzy, bubbly, bopping.
Style: Bartenders Olivia and Nate wrote and hosted this trivia extravaganza, leading a packed house of 30 teams through categories like Grammy songs: Listen, then name artist and title. My husband and I—team name The Olds—strained to recognize any artist post-1999 (Me: “Pink?” Him: “Rihanna?”), while teams with names like Quiz in My Pants and Balloons Are People Too cruised to the lead. Thank god for visual round three, Famous TV Couches, where we matched five out of eight couch photos to their corresponding TV shows. That’s right, baby, The Olds were on fire, moving into 29th place.
Takeaway: Come early, bring friends, have a ball.

Random Row
Vibe: Laid-back, sporty, a little slice of homemade pizza heaven.
Style: Emboldened by our tough new team name, The Angry Elves, we greeted our lovely Geeks Who Drink trivia host, primed our smartphones, and prepared to rule Random Row. What a shock when we actually won! A free beer … in a round-one raffle. Hey, it was a start. And people cheered! We ultimately finished 11th out of 15 teams, and dang, it felt good.
Takeaway: Like family game night, if the family were as supportive, funny, and quick as this crowd.
What did I learn in three nights of trivia? One, so many great options. Two, for a guy who listens exclusively to sports and Springsteen, my husband seems oddly adept at identifying Nicki Minaj songs. I guess trivia raises more questions than it answers.
Building community through movement, the Prolyfyck Run Creww welcomes all to “run together, not against each other” three times a week. Photo by Derrick J. Waller.
I’ve been drawn to Prolyfyck Run Creww since I first heard about it. This group of runners and walkers gathers every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, to tackle a more-than-four-mile route through Charlottesville’s historically Black neighborhoods.
Participants emphasize community over speed, representation and inclusion over individual achievement. Predawn they’re on the streets together moving, chatting, cheering each other on in a quest to change what it means to be “a runner” in this city, as this excerpt from their mission statement (see prolyfyck.com) makes clear: “Our goal is to continue shedding light on the impact of racism, both past and present, rejecting those who would suppress or co-opt the talent of Black and Brown people, claiming ownership over their creativity. Instead we encourage all to look deep within themselves to find their gifts and tap into their passions, working together with a spirit of unity and love to create a world where everyone can be prolyfyck.”
What and why
A predawn walk with Prolyfyck Run Creww because even though I don’t run anymore (wonky back), I crave the energy of communal morning workouts.
How it went
In full disclosure, I ran once before with this exhilarating group, and I walked with them on Thanksgiving. Leaders William Jones III, James “Littlez” Dowell, and Katherine (Kat) Lawrence spoke to my sports journalism class. I’ve read The New York Times piece about Jones’ vision and mission, and I’ve watched the Prolyfyck documentary. Why, then, did I continue to make excuses (too early, too cold, too creaky), when I could be out there three days a week getting strong and building community?
Maybe it’s because Prolyfyck invites you to feel things you’re not sure you want to feel, and question what you may not be willing to question. Moving with them feels like a celebration, and by the end, a party, but you work body, heart, and soul—could I commit to that challenge?
I pulled into the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center parking lot at 5:46am, muttering “early, cold, creaky,” and halfway hoping I could use the “whoops, too late” excuse. Just my luck, some friendly folks greeted me, and next thing I knew I was off, strolling toward West Main in the warm glow of veteran walker Sue’s pink LED lights.
From there it was sweet momentum in the morning streets, as I took in the sugared air wafting from Albemarle Baking Company; the dexterity with which Sue used her trash grabber to snag litter; the definition of landmarks as the sky brightened; and then—a left turn into the neighborhood surrounding Mt. Zion First African Baptist Church.
In 20 years I had walked these unfamiliar streets twice—each time with Prolyfyck. I glimpsed a flower-strewn memorial on my right. I eyed the steep hill up Lankford. I slowed. I reflected. I recognized this town’s gaps and grief. I respected the grace that invited and accompanied me there. I resolved to be worthy.
Past 10th and Page, through Westhaven, we walked and talked, acknowledging the past, meeting the present. Sue introduced me to Bernard, who waved from his porch. At the peak of the final hill, nicknamed Cold Shower, we waited, cheering, as runners sprinted to the top. Did I feel embarrassed that all I’d done was walk half of what they ran? That all I’d done was show up one morning, when these athletes do the work—creating connection to fight inequity—every day? Yep.
But Prolyfyck centers community, not self-conscious sexagenarians, and soon I was just part of the sweating, jubilant crowd making its way down West Main and back to the JSAACH parking lot. I was the last one, and they waited for me—stretching and chatting against the pink sunrise.
Jones and Dowell shared announcements and called on us to care for those hurting and struggling in our neighborhoods. Then a group photo. Laughter. Hugging. And folks headed out.
A celebration, yes, and a benediction. I’d arrived uncertain at 5:46am; I drove home euphoric at 7:15am. The question now—still—is: Can I, will I, commit?

Meet at 5:45am to walk, 6am to run, through historically Black Charlottesville neighborhoods.
A relaxing soak at AquaFloat is a great escape from the winter blues. Supplied photo.
I’ve lived in Charlottesville for almost 20 years, and there’s still so much I’ve never seen or done. We moved here in 2003, had our first and only (lovely, high-needs) child four months later, and the rest has been a blur of going to and from work, the grocery store, doctors’ appointments, schools, and, occasionally, Brazos Tacos.
Now that I’m an empty-nester, and lockdown is behind us, I can finally check out all the stuff I’ve seen in peripheral vision these past many years—the places and activities you hear people mention, or that you spy as you drive by thinking, “How long has that been there, and what even is it?”–Mary Esselman

What and why
AquaFloat, because ever since it opened I’ve wondered how soaking in (what I imagined to be) a coffin-shaped pod full of salty water could possibly help anyone feel relaxed.
How it went
Big reveal: no coffin-shaped pod! More like a large, gleaming oyster shell, filled with a tranquil, turquoise bath. And in the float room, an inviting 8’x10′ pool, big enough for two.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Accompanied by my 19-year-old, I stepped out of the January gloom and into a Caribbean dream in the heart of downtown: aquamarine walls, lush plants, soothing music, a glass pitcher full of water with sliced lemons, and a warm greeting. I felt my shoulders drop down from their usual high clench.
First up, the massage.
Yes, AquaFloat offers massage, as well as infrared sauna and other services. Apparently, massage followed by a float maximizes stress reduction, pain relief, and muscle recovery. Considering all 2022 had served up, I went for it.
That’s how I found myself in the gentle, expert hands of AquaFloat’s Massage Manager Reggie Harrison, who carefully assessed my needs before working magic on my creaky, sore body. The kid, meanwhile, found massage a revelation, as therapist Ansley Brubaker released knots related to hunching over a computer, art canvas, and phone.
Goofy with relaxation, we made our way to the main event: the float.
Once Manager Alyson Abbate gave us clear instructions, the kid entered the one-person pod room (12 inches of body-temperature water mixed with 1,000 pounds of epsom salt), while I shuffled into the larger float room (18 inches of water and 3,000 pounds of epsom salt).
According to Abbate, many floaters—athletes, care providers, first responders—opt for a silent, closed-door, lights-out float. Fond of undeprived senses, I opted for the door open, lights on, and music just loud enough to lull.
“What in the world am I doing?” I thought as I sank into the warmth, and felt my body bob up gently. Wow. Weightless, warm, and safe. On the ceiling, sparkling white lights mimicked stars, and down below I laughed like a baby in its crib, watching a mobile go ’round. This was fun! In my mind I was 5 again, though in reality I’m sure I looked like Wilford Brimley in Cocoon. I steered myself one way, then another, closed my eyes, and let myself drift.
When time was up, I bade a lazy farewell to my pool, took a hazy shower, dressed in a trance, and went to meet the kid, who, it turns out, had soaked in sensory-deprivation bliss, and declared the entire AquaFloat experience “sick.” Usually nocturnal, the kid went to sleep at 8pm and woke late the next morning, relaxed and elated.
Low-key, (relatively) affordable, convenient stress relief. I loved it.

We talked to style savvy people from around town to learn what inspires them. Photo: Tristan Williams.
To help you start the new year with a fresh look, we spoke to striking and unsung style heroes around town, and asked these questions: How would you describe your style? What inspires the way you dress, or the way you style your home or work space? What would you like people to know about you—who you are, what you care about—just from looking at your style? How would you advise readers looking to define their own style in 2023? (These responses have been edited and condensed for length.)
Family fashions

William IV (Age 9): “I like turtlenecks and blazers and I like hip-hop, street. Laid-back New York, pro fighters, street dirt bikers, my older sister, my dad, hip-hop dancers.”
“I care about myself and my family. I’m respectful. I can sometimes have an attitude and sometimes not. I can control myself. I want to look cool.”
“Style how you want in whatever makes you feel good.”
Yosiah (Age 9): “Skaters and BMXers.”
“I’m a gamer. I care about my family. I’m not a threat.”
“Pick what you think looks good.”
Samari (13): “I would describe my aesthetic as kind of hippie street wear. I wear a lot of baggy clothes, and a lot of different colors and patterns.”
“When I go out, I usually dress up a little. I just want people to know that I care about what I look like. I have this rule that I try to follow where I don’t wear the same outfit too many times. It helps me to not feel boring, or basic. Sometimes I don’t care though.”
“Try new things, always switch it up until you find a style that you love. Think about what you want people to think when they look at you and build your style off of that. Enjoy and express yourself, feel beautiful, ’cause you are.”
Shiloh (14): “Alternative grunge, like if I had a job, my entire wardrobe would be black and white with maybe some dark earthly colors splashed around. Lots of jeans, hoodies, and platforms. Can’t forget the beanie.”
“I’m going to wear what makes me feel comfortable on some days and beautiful others, sometimes both. If it’s a pair of sweats and my dad’s hoodie, or a corset and high heels, or a tuxedo, I’m simply doing me, and me has a lot of versions.”
“I went through being a very cutesy girly-girl, to being goth (as much as I could living with conservative grandparents), to not even knowing what my gender was. I still don’t know! Only to settle with this very neutral grungy look, so I guess you just gotta roll with the punches, and allow yourself room to grow and discover, and make sure you’re doing the same for those around you.”
“I’m unapologetically true to my whole self. I don’t follow trends. I wear what feels good to my body, my soul, my mind, and my heart. I appreciate functionality, flow, energetic alignment, and comfort.”
“What does your soul say?”
Will (Age 40): “I think my style is simple. Pretty true to south Jersey and Philadelphia culture. Clean white tee and jeans to pink slacks with a fitted hat. … I wear a lot of Prolyfyck gear and Black-owned clothing as a way to support—and hopefully help steer our culture away from—spending money with companies who don’t appreciate our lives.”
“I care about culture and staying true to who I am. While also being willing to explore [and] adopt new things that feel true to who I actually am as a Black-bodied person. In our disenfranchisement we have had to find our way back to our ancestors’ ways, and my style is part of my journey.”
“I would only advise humans to find out who they are. And go from there. Be true to who you are and be true to who you have grown to be. No one can judge you for that.”

Decades of decoration
Elizabeth Pelly

“I love walking into a room that looks like it took decades to decorate. Paintings and pictures climbing up the walls, books covering bookcases, trinkets and curiosities on every tabletop. In dressing, I am not afraid to go out on a limb—you can wear anything if you wear it with confidence.”
“It’s not about price, it is about what speaks to you. There is a great quote by Elsie de Wolfe (regarded as America’s first interior decorator) that sums me up: ‘I am going to make everything around me beautiful—that will be my life.’ My beautiful thing might not be what you consider beautiful, but I hope you will find it at least interesting.”
“Style, whether home or self, should feel right. A house that’s beautifully designed should still be comfortable, cozy, and lived in. And a look, whether black tie or everyday, should make you feel good in your own skin.”

Creating a persona
Jocelyn Johnson and Billy Hunt

Jocelyn: “I’ve been thinking a lot about nostalgia, dressing like the ’80s and ’90s, wearing cut-offs and flannels at home. Also, I experienced this huge change from being a public-school teacher to becoming this author [of My Monticello]. So I kind of moved from printed dresses and cardigans, to suits and jackets, like a kind of armor, but also to create a new persona.”
Billy: “When I think about style I always want to look like a supervillain in an action movie. I love the way supervillains dress. You’ve got the brilliant person in the volcano who’s slightly flamboyant. And I’m like: That. I like that.”
Jocelyn: “I love things that are inviting, where someone recognizes something, or they’re like, ‘Oh, I like that too.’ Just general warmth.”
Billy: “I wear stuff that makes me happy. I just bought a shirt that I ordered from like, Walmart, and it’s a pickle with sunglasses, and it says, ‘Dill with it.’ It’s such a childish thing to have. But it just makes me really happy. I just try to wear what brings me joy.”
Billy: “Just look around and see what you like, and then copy it. That’s what I always do with art and music and everything else. It’s just like, figure out your fashion heroes.”
Jocelyn: “It also can be good to look at an old book of photography or something that’s out of time then mix things together in a way that feels interesting to you.”

Faith-based fashion
Sisters of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery

“As women monastics, our ‘style’ is inspired and expressed by the life we have chosen. The deepest values we believe in are the inspiration of all our daily doings. Each sister expresses these values differently, which is what makes our community life so engaging and enriching! Faith, hope, love are the source of it all, and this makes for equanimity and enrichment, and a good bit of the spice of life!”
“We hope that people seeing us, speaking with us, buying cheese from us can pick up our love for God and love for them—each one of them—precious in God’s sight and in ours.”
“For your readers looking to define their ‘style’ in 2023, may it always include others, especially the others whom no one pays much attention to, who ‘fall through the cracks,’ who need most of all respect and concern, love and care.”
Our Lady of the Angels Monastery is a school and community of Trappist-Cistercian nuns, self-supported by cheese-making since 1990.
On a roll

“I tend to mix a little bit of femininity and masculinity in my style. I love to style myself in a comfy but cute way. You often may find me in some comfy, dressier pants and a T-shirt (my T-shirt collection is out of this world) or vice-versa in sweatpants but a nicer sweater.”
“In a professional setting, I dress for how I want to be perceived. If I’m going for a run, I dress in a way that makes me feel good about the workout I’m about to do. I want to communicate to others that I am a kind and caring person.”
“Wear what makes you feel comfortable and most like you! Get that piercing or tattoo. Wear all the patterns if that’s what makes you feel like you!”
Courtney Commander is the founder of mobile pop-up skating company De La Roll.
Wearing a story

“Comfort. Cool, classic. Easy.”
“What I’m wearing, in a way, tells the story of how I got here and where I’m going. I have coats from my grandfather, Timex watches from my uncle, and T-shirts from my dad. And through my time in fashion, I’ve developed friendships with people who are starting their own lines. Being able to wear part of their story, and tell and expand that story is something that I love to do.”
“There’s no Prime Minister of Fashion. There’s your personal taste and your personal life. You set the standard. You set the rules for yourself.”

Beauty of the weird

“Colorful and eclectic and comfortable. I was born curious and find inspiration in all that is ‘other,’ be it other people, centuries, locations, cultures.”
“I really cherish people who think outside the box, especially finding like-minded appreciation in the beauty of the weird.”
“If you’re making your space, fill it with things you love. It doesn’t have to match. If you see something [or] someone that makes you clock, ‘Oh, that’s cool,’ don’t be afraid to try it. Make it your own. Be playful. Have fun. Be open to things that make you feel curious and creative. Dress for the life you want.”
