Think that's silly? In Vermont, they wear Flannel Thongs (or so I'm told by the internet)

That's just scary! Convenient being able to go straight from the beach to a bank robbery without changing, though.

Yes, I want to look like a bank robber at the beach. And I love the idea of wearing something that will make my face super sweaty. Best of all is knowing how difficult it would be to actually swim.

I kind of want one? I'm usually rocking a big hat but that thing wouldn't blow off. I'd probably scare all the kids in the kiddie pool, though.

Nope, not for me.
Ironically, they look like burn victims

Also, on a scale of 1-10 how dorky would it be to add chin straps to my big hats to prevent the flying off in the wind thing?
Would it make it better if it was a chain?

I'm all for it, rmless2. I keep wanting to add hidden barrettes in mine to clip them to my head but I never get around to it.

There's nothing "ini" about it. I suppose "face burka" would not be as cute a marketing term.

Ooh hidden clippies is a good idea. I guess you would glue the outside to the inner part hat and then just smack them in.

Not as bad as the Asymmetrical thong (probably NSFW unless you work for an underwear manufacturer.)
