Hi Lee -

    Some idea.....- linen shirts are super breathable. Light colors are
    better under the lights, as they reflect. For some reason I envision
    you in a short sleeved button collared shirt (woven, not a polo
    type) - and a pair of black or khaki colored linen trousers. I'm not
    certain what you have in your closet, or what malls etc you have in
    your area. But a light colored or subtle artsy print on a classic
    men's shirt, and a pair of classic trousers in a breathable fabric
    might serve you well. Lightweight cotton and linen would probably be
    best. Silks are hot and sweaty in my opinion. So are polyesters and
    rayons. Some would disagree about rayon - it's a chemically treated
    cellulose, and can feel like nylon. There are stores at some malls
    that cater to the person who travels in exotic areas. They sell
    clothing that although synthetic, are breathable and wrinkle
    resistant. I think one is called Travel Smith. They may have a web
    site where you could see what I mean, It's not all safari type
    threads with epaulets. Some nice classic items. Check out your
    closet and your local mall. Newer clothing, clean and pressed but not
    starched. Shoes - I would avoid open toed sandals. but woven shoes
    would look cool and confident. And a tad non conformist. : ) Drink
    cool water before you go on, and avoid last minute rushing to avoid
    perspiration nightmares. Sort of like an interview., if you can
    arrive early to sit and cool off, sip cool water before you hit the
    lights. 

    Just some ideas,. Hope you have a great time! 

Sincerely,
Mary Beth (fabric, fashion and gemstone buff)
