Fandango!
The dog days of August are upon us, and well-dressed ladies (be they adventuresses or pirates or yes, even professors) will be feeling the strain of trying to stay cool, fresh and well, erm, DRY, during this, the last of summer. Perhaps this fine item (ready for extravagant decoration!), from the nice folks at Dharma Trading will help:
This is a lovely fan, and made for serious cooling, as it is an amazing 15" long (wink, wink!) Enjoy, ladies, as I return to my knitting chair with lemonade, ice, and the biggest fan in the house blowing on me! Kind regards from Prof. Parsons.
