The Face Bra

A strange phenomena occurs here in Vietnam, we have lovingly nicknamed it:
The face bra.
It's a device that supports the face in a sling like fashion.
The face bra comes in many different shapes and sizes:

Some are small, covering only the chin, mouth and nose. These are usually strung from the ears.

Some are a little bigger, tied around the back of the head for greater support and stability.

Then some are massive, covering the entire face and head up to the eyes. The massive face bra is usually complemented by a hat or additional bandana that comes down to meet the eyebrows, allowing only a very small slit for vision.

Here are some photos of the face bra in all its glory...


(PS The face bra is actually not for emissions of engines, as it is worn throughout the country side too. More than likely it's to do with tanning, as only toffs are pale, due to not having to work in the sun all the time, but who cares about that, it's funny!)
