Whoever told you that looked good...they lied.

So I'm driving into work today and I turn to my left and see the woman in the car next to me wearing a sun visor and sunglasses with the sun visor of the car pulled down (and it was dull outside)...excessive much. I really thought sun visors died out in the early 90s. They're one of those trends that should be put in a box somewhere and shipped to a remote island with speedos and leg warmers. Very few people actually suit them. They should only be used by golfers or tennis players.

It's not really the sun visor as such I have a problem with. For instance, I googled 'tasteful sun visors' and that picture is what came up. True story. I have no idea how that's in any way, shape or form 'tasteful'. The description was even better...'Bright colored balloons are set against a black background in this lighthearted sun visor that makes a great accessory for outdoor parties.' Outdoor parties...what are you going as...the clown? I mean seriously what outfit could someone put together that would possibly match such a hideous creation. I also googled ugly tacky sun visors...it's worrying there's a market for those...there was A LOT of applique.

Men also tend to suit them more. Although I might be basing this on the women with big hair who seem to style their hair around the sun visor. Think Dallas hair with a ledge. I even found a website that offers women a strapless sunvisor to reduce the risk of 'sunvisor headache'...seriously what is with that??? Why are you wearing something that gives you a headache? I mean, it's not like shoes where you suffer through the pain for the sake of fashion. Sun visors are not fashionable! The website also stated they were 'proudly made in the USA'...really, it's not proud of you.

However while women with big hair (which the woman this morning had) look like they've added a place for a bird to sit, I think one of the worst offenders of the sun visor trend is undoubtedly the people (primarily guys) who seem to think it's cool to wear it upside down. Why? What purpose could that possible serve. They're meant to shade your eyes from the sun...what are you doing with them? You don't look good. You just look like you can't dress yourself or, more likely, are an idiot. What happens when it rains? Are you trying to conserve water on your head for later?...I just don't get it.

The people who wear these without good cause (i.e not for sports) or don't suit them should be shipped off to live somewhere where they can contain their bad taste (or in some cases plain stupid taste). We could create a kind of colony of bad taste to contain fashion faux pas that people refuse to give up. Like old fat men who wear speedos and thongs, 80 year old women with boob jobs who wear bikinis, no one needs or wants to see that! We can also include people who still think shell suits are fashionable, people who wear high heeled caterpillar/timberland style boots, and women who insist that skin tight sliver jump suits can cross over into fashion...not happening. Oh and the women who think it's still cute to wear bright pink furry, with glitter thread, leg warmers....my ex flat mate had a pair...hideous....you're not 8 years old, by now you should have taste.

Just my opinion....but come on look at the balloon sun visor...would you wear it?!!?
