The facekini may strike western observers as a strange and even creepy look.

But in China where it was invented back in 2012, the face covering designed to protect the wearer from sun, algae and jellyfish stings is becoming ever more popular, and there's even an annual revival event to celebrate it in the eastern China city of Quingdao, according to the Daily Mail.

Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

Man in Black: Oh no, it’s just that they’re terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

That looks like something you’d see at a gay “pride” parade.

Maybe because they can’t take it home?

Not even Mrs. Brown’s lovely daughter could be picked out in that crowd.

Mother, May I Go Out to Swim (Bathing Song)

Mother, May I Go Out to Swim (Bathing Song)
(Lester Keith)

A sweet little peach from Manhattan Beach
Was strolling upon the sand,
And met a young sport from jolly Newport
Who thought she was perfectly grand
She murmured to him, “I’d go take a swim,
But I am engaged to be wed,
Though it’s very warm, it’s very bad form.”
“Yours looks good to me,” he said
She answered right away, “To Ma I used to say”

cho: Mother may I go out to swim,
Yes my darling daughter,
Hang your clothes on a hickory limb,
But don’t go near the water.
You may look cute in your bathing suit,
But act just as you oughter,
Now and then you can flirt with the men,
But don’t go near the water.................
