I’ve been thinking about buying a new helmet for my scooter for the past three years now. Most of the ones I’ve come across are geared towards men.
This one shouts “look at me” – why don’t they have a female version or is it androgynous? Too tough looking for me.So instead of wearing a helmet I dyed my hair RED to match my MiO
A matching helmet did not come with my vintage-inspired creamsicle lookingscooter so I’ve been wearing one that a friend gave me (so that he could buy a nicer newer model) that is all scratched up and doesn’t really suit me. Mine is ‘real’ vintage but not in the good way. I can have one painted to match (that’s too matchy) or just buy a new one but every time I go to check them out I think the old one is good enough because the newer ones are just as ordinary. I don’t want something that looks like I’m riding a Harley and I don’t want one that looks like I’m riding a horse either. Maybe I should create some fashionable helmets for women with scooters? Or maybe I’ll just buy one of these:
the four variations in the series of ‘custom made helmets’ – by jyo john mullor
Dubai-based digital designer jyo john mullor has realized a series of helmet designs that appear to leave the human head totally exposed to outdoor elements. The trompe-l’œil effect brings about the illusion that a series of different people with shaved heads are seamlessly integrated into the plush, yet sturdy protective gear. Four variations include a motorcycle cap with ears and earrings, a simple bicycle style with shaved brunette hair, and a vintage safety hat with attached goggles stretching over the surface of the skin. Although not yet physical objects, Mullor’s ‘custom made helmets’ provide a look at the possibilities of extreme personalization, and would guarantee a double take on the road.
A vintage safety hat with attached goggles stretches over the surface of the skin. I could go with this.Now this style appeals to me. I even like the colour combo.
What do you think? Would YOU wear one of these?
Jia Jia says “yes” to this Vespa in mint condition with sidecar – but then it would be “what kind of helmet do I get for him?”
Because I’m not a painter this is the best I could come up with to make somewhat of an impression – this week. It seems that unintentionally I was on a little bit of a theme.
I’ve always loved Water lilies.

Yes, No? It doesn’t matter – it’s just nice to capture images in general. AND it’s Friday so nothing else really matters now except for more wine & wine water. Enjoy your weekend.
