News, but not the serious kind

You look positively repellent tonight!

Blog Guy, I live in a place where the mosquitoes are really awful - let’s just call it Florida - and it’s irritating that I can’t wear anything fashionable. I mean, rolling around in OFF! and then covering every inch of my skin just isn’t conducive to lookin’ good. Any hope for me?

It’s harsh in the marsh, but looking at recent fashion photos, I can report that some designers are now aiming squarely at the high-end mozzie-victim market. The model seen here can keep making light party chat even when this outfit is black with buzzing blood-suckers. Of course, she can’t eat or drink while wearing it, but that will seem a small price when she isn’t scratching her face off tomorrow.
