I wish I had central air conditioning or at least enough money and time to spend the summer at some exotic beach. But since I have neither of those...

Hot weather can really make me feel uncomfortable. I really admire athletes; anyone who can think clearly with their head and win something while baking in the hot heat of the summer is definitely worth my respect. While me? IMHO, heat and sweat don't rhyme with thinking and wining; they rhyme with beat and wet.

But I can't help to draw a parallel (an off-beat one for sure) between fabric used in athletes' gear and the fabric used in plus size clothes. Despite the difference in size and function, both tend to lean towards fabrics that breathe. Baseball players with their cotton jersey, runners with their tight polyester-like outfit, and even NASCAR racers would insist on something that won't dehydrate them. Must I also mention that a Sumo wrestler is naked as well? The parallel would probably be lost on that, though.

What a weird train of thought. I better do something about this heat. In the meantime, if someone asked me what to wear on a hot day like this; I would probably say a fan - plus size preferably!
