Top 10 Reasons why Canuck gals may not feel as sexy as their female counterparts living in warmer weather
(Tanya Edberg)

1. We don't live in a warm, sunny climate
2. Instead of boasting a sun-kissed glow, we get stuck picking at our dry, chapped skin
3. We spend a lot of cash on cute, little dresses that we get to wear ONCE before it goes out of style
4. We are pressured to be twig thin
5. Wrapping a scarf around one's face to keep warm rarely, if ever, is sexy.
6. Only in Canada would a toque be acceptable
7. In Canada, lip balm is a must-have item
8. We can't just slip on a pair of shorts, a T-shirt and a pair of flip-flops and head out the door most of the year. Layers and bulk is the Canadian way
9. It's tricky to navigate through snow in stilettos
10. Hat head. Runny noses. Colds. Constant shivering. The scent of Vicks Vapor Rub. Enough said.
