The facekini craze!

First came the bikini, then the mankini (remember that?) and
now the face-kini…
What is a facekini, you might ask. It’s the latest craze in sun protection to hit China.
In China fair skin is a desirable trait. A tan represents a lower class citizen, one who works long days out in the field while pale skin signifies affluence. The facekini is an excellent way to preserve pale skin.

Sun umbrellas/parasols
are also very popular in China. I have to admit that I've owned an SPF
umbrella for a while and this summer I used it for the first time. People did stare at me (as if I was some sort
of alien) but I didn't mind. However, I
could never wear a facekini! J
What do you think: Is wearing a facekini too much? What about parasols?
