The intense heat wave in North America is continuing to reach scorching temperatures that are almost unbearable. Most people don't have the luxury of a pool, air conditioner, fan or, heaven forbid, a freezer. So, what is one to do during these desperate times?
Magazine publications may often glamorize the heat by featuring tiny bikinis and incredibly hot models, but this method can actually trick your mind into believing it. From underwater dancetography to wavy beach editorials, this collection of wet 'n' wild features is all you need to pretend the heat wave isn't making you melt at the office.
