I don't know if anybody else (in Vancouver or abroad) has noticed this, but everywhere I look I'm seeing girls wearing these massive tinted visors. They're essenetially brightly-coloured plastic welder's masks. When flipped up, they're like big duck bills, when flipped down, well, you're ready to join metal. Apparently, judging by those I've seen, the ideal setting is halfway down.
I Googled for several minutes, but couldn't find a single reference or image. I've seen them exclusively on Asian girls, so maybe this is a Japanese trend making a foothold in North America. Can anybody help me locate the source and/or photos?
Given the whole SARS thing (and associated SARS art), I think this is a beachhead of protective gear chic. I predict gloves will make a return and, I don't know, lots of blues and greens.
