It would be so cosmically cool if you owned one of hers.
I keep them in the freezer, with extras so you can swap them out as they warm up.

We use our cool basement air to cool the upstairs by using a hurricane fan to blow it up the stairs, and a small rotating fan at the top to boost it.

Wrapping your naked self in a wet sheet or Moo-moo helps too.
