"Mainstream"

20 June 2003

Is sweating going mainstream?

I was in the supermarket the other day and spied a copy of the July issue of the Ladies Home Journal, not a magazine I normally read, not that there's anything wrong with it. There on the cover is a picture of Priscilla Presley. And there under her arm, I thought I saw a putty tat! I picked the mag up out of the rack. It is! It is!

Yes, right there on the cover, there's a huge wet underarm patch on Priscilla's pretty satin blouse. I hadn't seen any perspiration stains this large since the last time I looked in the mirror. But seriously, I've never seen any this large on a celebrity, or on the cover of a magazine. Inside there's another picture of her wearing the same sweaty blouse.

I bought the magazine so I could scan it for this site. Click on the picture for a larger version (let's see if I can make this work right):

What's the world coming to? If the magazine publishers keep this up, why that nasty rumor that people with HH aren't freaks might keep spreading.

Is sweating going mainstream? We can only hope.
