This is what’s up with V. Stiviano’s visor

At first, the controversy around Los Angeles Clippers owner Don Sterling was just another sad debacle exposing the ugly soul of humanity. Then his ex-girlfriend V. Stiviano stepped out in a fabulously ridiculous full-faced reflective visor to ward off paparazzi flashes (and harmful UV rays?).

Looks pretty good on a runway, right? Not as directional as Alexander McQueen’s fall/winter 2012 visors, but it gets the job done.

This specific breed of headgear, dubbed a “solar visor,” has apparently been all the rage for almost a decade in Asia, particularly among bikers. In China they go for around $1, but stateside one will set you back $29 on Amazon.

Is she a welder, Darth Vader, Daft Punk?? Take your pick.
