Well actually he purchased a gift certificate so I could go and purchase the correct size helmet for my, as it turns out, rather large head. I don't know what to think about the fact that my head is too big for the "women's specific design" helmet.
Amy Berg has been telling me for years "face it bud, your head is just too damn big." But I think this must be another instance of product engineers trying to put women into a box, or in this case small-headed helmets.
All the women's specific helmets are also pretty colors...pastel with flowers or butterflies stenciled in.
My helmet is black.
The salesmen did tell me many people purchased the black helmet because they think it makes their heads look smaller.
What do you think?

Very nice!
I don't think anyone makes helmets that would fit me. My hat size is 8 1/8 or XXXL.
I have two hats that fit -- a custom-made baseball cap (they cost twice as much and are made by hand when they're that big) and a black leather cowboy hat. But I never wear those -- I only wear my XXL tweed cap. But it's too small, so I can't wear it when it is windy.
I have a baseball helmet that only fits because I took out half of the padding, rendering it useless.
And I don't think your head looks big. Black must be slimming.
I think you look quite fetching, dear.
What were you wearing before? I trust you weren't letting your "too-damn-big" head flop around loose.
Also, are those mirrored shades on your peepers, you fashionista?
Thanks Ben and kc.
"Saftey first" would never allow me to bike sans helmet. Never. I like my head much too much to risk any riding without it.
This helmet was simply an upgrade in saftey and technology. My other is about 10 years old. Supposedly the foam quality deteriorates after 5 so periodic replacements are important. The new one fits better and looks better (slimming quality or no).
Were that pic taken from the left you would have seen that my "fashonista" sunglasses are actually broken. I believe having heavy duty tape on one side instantly removes all fashion value.
I fear I would be a prime candidate for "what not to wear." Which is why I don't watch the show.
My scooter helmet had to be special ordered. I wear an XS.
It's black. Maybe I should buy a bright orange one so my head looks bigger.
With butterflies.
does color enlargement work with your hair?
cause I never noticed you had an itty bitty head.
Or maybe it's the height that's fooled me. :)
