Wetlook World Forum

I was out for getting wet in river Rhine today. As ususally I went there by bicycle, it's about 12 kilometres from home. After leaving the bicycle (one can't go further with it, not by law but by nature) and a longer walk I was able to find a quiet place on the well populated edge (remember: no soccer on TV, loads of people coming with their boats to fish or to picnic). I played around with black jeans and a dark blue T-shirt, also wearing very low leather sandals (if you are from east Germany and older than about 30 years you probably know what "Jesuslatschen" are.)

As I know myself, in no case I would be able to let my clothes dry without getting wet again ;-) So sorry, no drying-on-the-beach story.

Before leaving my place, I tried to wring out my jeans and shirt a bit, but they were still wet enough to qualify as wet clothes. I started my march to the place where my bicycle was and when I arrived there after about 10 minutes my hair was already dry (well, it's short, about 3 cm only). So with wet shirt and jeans I started home. After about 15 minutes more, the major part of the shirt was dry, except the lower range that touched the jeans. Also, the jeans began to dry on the knees (I guess because it's the mostly moved part when cycling). It's, BTW, not so nice to wear black jeans with gray knees ;-)

After about 30 minutes, the legs were completely dry, and when I arrived home, only the "problem areas" were left damp: all pockets (I found I had a lot of sand in them, probably that's why) and the panties area (too many layers of fabric).

That's for today, hope next weekend will be hot again. And sorry for a long text in lousy english. Have a nice dream.
