“Ann, where did you get that evening gown? It’s absolutely stunning! Looks like a couture piece, doesn’t it?”

Anthea replied with a smile, “Not only is this gown a head–turner, but it also has a unique feature.”

“What feature?”

“It’s temperature–regulated,” Anthea added with a hint of pride.

“Temperature–regulated?” The skepticism was clear on everyone’s faces.

Anthea nodded slightly and proceeded to evangelize the virtues of her high–tech gown to the intrigued crowd.
