27. I overheat easily, so comfort is my main criteria.

I make what I call "shoulder shirts" - Just enough to cover my shoulders to protect them from the sun.

However, I had one institution threaten to throw me out because they could see my belly button (REALLY!!)

So I invented a new kind of shirt, fold it up and cut holes in it like I did as a kid with paper to make snowflakes,

Making sure that neither my nipples or belly button showed (heaven forbid!).

Now I'm cool, and they can't say nothing about it!

And the girls love these cut out shirts I wear.

A win-win!
