Keep yourself cool
like the women on the Silk Road do!
Uzbekistan is dotted with roadside
bazaars, full of silk-wrapped women who sit there all day, selling fruit
and vegetables, eastern sweets, hot bread, and aromatic spices. Even in
the shade of the markets, the sun bakes down at 100 degrees.
How do these women keep cool in the
relentless heat? With a simple, effortless turn of the hand, they chill
out with these simple fans made of fabric and wood, just as their ancestors
did for centuries. I've adapted the traditional Uzbek design, and added
some spiffy touchesa stamp here, a bead there. Take one for a spintrust
me, they're addictive!
Spinning fan, $10
