If you look at the clip, a woman dressed in pink is wearing something on her face. I don't think I have ever seen one of those before...has anybody else on AB seen one ?

[Cloverjo]

Never seen one. I imagine one might normally wear it as a visor while playing golf or something, but I've never seen one so big. Perhaps she had one specially made for this incident, where she wanted to hide her face.

[factor-fiction]

I suppose it's a sun visor and also an easy way to hide your face from teh cameras and public glare

[mikey4444]

It looks like she was preparing to walk through a field of landmines to me !
If she thought it might make her less obvious to the waiting Press, then she was sadly mistaken...daft woman !

[B00]

I'm wondering if she had it especially made for such an outing, as it completely covers her face from the press and matches her outfit perfectly. I guess it's more fashion conscious than a newspaper covering the noggin?

[Svejk]

welding mask?

[B00]

looks too flimsy to be any kind of protection against owt.

[RATTER15]

It is a modification of the type of mask used by many trades, a chemical antispray mask, used when spraying weed killer for instance, I have one very similar myself only with a clear visor.

[Svejk]

I was jesting, boo.

[RATTER15]

Here, take your pick. http://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A2KLj.tRpGBTNmcAUjxNBQx.;_ylc=X1MDMjExNDcxNzAwNQRfcgMyBGJjawMyZzc4dDB0OWkwM2toJTI2YiUzRDMlMjZzJTNENm4EZnIDc3BpZ290LW50LWdjBGdwcmlkAzYuaHB0V2FYUmJ1Sy50LlpGcFdIakEEbXRlc3RpZANudWxsBG5fc3VnZwMxMARvcmlnaW4DdWsuaW1hZ2VzLnNlYXJjaC55YWhvby5jb20EcG9zAzAEcHFzdHIDBHBxc3RybAMEcXN0cmwDMjAEcXVlcnkDZXllIHByb3RlY3Rpb24gdmlzb3IEdF9zdG1wAzEzOTg4NDI0MDY0OTYEdnRlc3RpZANudWxs?gprid=6.hptWaXRbuK.t.ZFpWHjA&pvid=NH945jcyLjMoHR0HUyAOkQYAMzcuMQAAAABjRwJr&p=eye+protection+visor&fr=spigot-nt-gc&fr2=sb-top&ei=utf-8&n=60&x=wrt&;y=Search

One could have mentioned it was 1 minute 50 seconds into a video. I thought the link had taken me to the wrong place, then after 45 seconds almost gave up on checking the video too. Then I realised I could jump through the rest.

[royfromaus]

It is simply an over-sized sun visor.

[HansUrbancka]

是的，這是一個太陽能遮陽板。

English translation...Yes it's a Solar Visor.

[anneasquith]

I wonder what attracted this young lady to that man ?

[wolf63]

anne - you are a cynic. I had similar thoughts about Bernie Ecclestone the other day.

Ratter - quite an assortment of visors there. None of which could be described as 'pretty' or 'girly'. What about equal opportunities??

[whiskeryron]

Managed to get the link now. Because everything moves on & someone is always trying to start a new trend, this is obviously the next move forwards from shades or sun glasses
( someone has to be the first in every field ).

[mccfluff]

it reminded me of the Mrs Merton interview with Debbie McGee

"so what attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels"...

loved that,
