I kid you not - this one is called Facekini!
First it was the Mohameddans with the burkha - it was religious you see (maybe you don't what with the dark fabric?);
Then it was the Chinese women with their welding masks (that one you really got to see - as in the outsider not the maskee since that would cloud their view but keep the sun from hitting their skin);

Ramayana unraveled by Ami Ganatra (she might disagree about it being a work of fiction but oh wel...
