Object of our affection

Nothing like the intense summer sun for searing the ol' retinas.

Sometimes it just seems like sunglasses aren't enough to block those blinding rays, ya know?

You could wear a hat but that totally wreaks havoc with the 'do. That's why the Proshade is so brilliant — and hair-friendly.

You just slide your shades into little loops on the side and away you go, with every hair still in place and extra sun-blockage for your face.

The Proshade is actually a multifunctional accessory: It's not only a visor, but an eyeglass case, too. If you don't use the fleece-lined pocket to stash shades, then you can stick some cash and an ID in there.

Check out Proshade at www.proshade.net online. Prices from $19.99.
