Jane Fonda make way!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you my latest purchase. What you are looking at is in fact a pair of sweatbands. I bought them not because they are splashed all over mtv and apparently the in thing, or because I am one of those fit people with perfect bodies in lycra who can contract their bodies with extreme ease and not break a sweat. Oh no, and I am not starring in a jane fonda wannabe exercise video either. The reason I bought them is that I recently realised that sweatbands are actually made to be used to wipe sweat of your forehead.

So anyway, yesterday I took my giggly ass to the gym, armed with my sweatband. (I only wore one since no way in hell can I pull off two) I go to a mixed gym mostly used by fit foreigners. So there I am on the treadmill, slumping along, while a 70 year old grandma was sprinting next to me in her tiny shorts, and I felt the first trickle of sweat coming down my forehead. So I tell myself, 'here is your chance to use your band!' but I couldnt bring myself to do it!, I felt like such a wannabe. The trickle came closer and closer to my eye, I had a small towel to my left and my armband on my right. I kept looking between them trying to choose while the trickle got dangerously close. Suddenly it was gone. I had wiped it off with my sweatband.And just like that I was in the fit, lycra layered, sweatband wearing club.

Maybe next time I will live on the edge and wear a headband.

PS. Guys (as in with male organs), what exactly is hot about a sweaty girl? and does she have to be in tight shorts and top, or will any sweaty girl do? :P
