Title: Facemask / reverse-pull sighting.
Post by: DemBones on 18. July 2011, 12:30:16 PM
Life is strange – how many times have you thought about a friend only to have them phone later that evening, or think about a movie only to have it on TV a week later?

Well, Saturday morning I was thinking about public headgear sightings.  You don’t see any.  The last time I saw a headgear in public (Apart from myself) was about 2 years ago.  And before that – heck knows!  But I was thinking, I’ve never – EVER – seen a facemask sighting.  In fact, I’ve never seen a facemask apart from you tube… 

That very self-same morning, at a nursery in Johannesburg, my braces-radar kicked in.  I have no idea why I had the compulsion to look around, but I did, and there it was!  Girl of about 12, 13, wearing a red reverse-pull. 

I was pleasantly surprised at the sighting, but more perplexed as to the irony of my thinking about it and then seeing it only a few hours later. 

I still prefer “normal” headgear to facemasks though…

Nice job on the sighting. Never seen a Face mask in public. I thought about wearing mine out in public for the exotic rush and to give someone the same chance of a sighting that you got. Wayyy toooo nervouse tho

I know what you mean...  I wore my headgear in public twice - and both times it was at very secluded places where the chances of being seen by more than 2 people were very slim.  one day i'll tackle a mall, but don't have the guts just yet!
