My co-worker was wearing one of these yesterday. I have never seen anything like it. I know it's mean, but I was confused, scared & on the verge of tears of hysteria when I saw this.

Is this popular in Asia?

wtf?

It's not just for women!

It may be related to this trend...


I understand the dangers of sun exposure and all. But the visors are not really as effective as an umbrella, and not really more effective than big sunglasses, are they?

I did know a Korean girl who said she was allergic to the sun; she used to get blisters & rashes really easily.

But the visors are just strange. What about a hat? Maybe I'm just getting old?

I’ve done the umbrella thing.

Frankly, sometimes I have to.

I definitely understand, I wear big ol' hats when I am in the sun for very long.

But do you think the visors are that much more practical than sunglasses? Your neck & the sides of your face are still exposed.

It looks like something a celebrity would wear when shopping to avoid being recognized. Although a visor that large calls so much attention that it would defeat the purpose of someone trying to not stand out.

You mean like a surgical mask?

Is that a baggie of pot hanging from his sunglasses/visor thingy?

so maybe they're not all bad...

NDRU said:

I can totally see Michael Jackson wearing one of these in public.

If he were still alive.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I thought that too I think he's trying it on in a store & it's some kind of strap thingy that goes w/ it

Looks great 4 this kind of work.

My grandma wore a visor like this when we went to Disney World

Only a bitty could get away with it

Ummm...yeah. It's called a visor - not sunglasses.

But it looks like a rock fell on the visor and knocked it into the person's face.

Looks more like a mask to me

I like my red lips thread better.

JustErin said:

yeah, well that's not saying much, is it?

Ooh... It's very Kylie-esque.



You couldn't wear something like this when buying milk at the corner shop - unless you're Grace Jones, I suppose.

You stole the image of my keyboard! This is exactly what I was thinking

Don't do this when you're wearing one -->

Genesia said:

are they for welding?

Those make me think of that episode of Full House where they're trying to sell that hairspray shield thingy:




WORD.
