Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONWe're in Kuala Lumpur at the moment, after flying in from Langkawi. This bloke said a cheerful "Good morning" from his vantage point near the base of the Petronas twin towers. He was selling the perfect gimmick for tourists - headgear with an extendable mini-umbrella.
As soon as I clapped eyes on him I asked if I could take a photograph and he just grinned and struck a couple of poses. So yes, I shot him as he strutted, but then I got this frame so that you can actually see how clever his gadget is.
Did we help his daily profit figures? Yup, we sure did. And me - I'm off to Brollywood next.

I remember those hats from when I was a kid. Wearing one to school could get one pummeled mercilessly
We wear them here, at our National Fair every year!
Ok unless its windy then you'd take off like a helicopter!
Hey David, when you get back from your travels (you lucky thing you) come over and pick up an award at my place!
I remember seeing one of those before, but I can't remember where. They are very useful contraptions in muggy heat!
Looks like some one got his day made... ;0)
Love the hat attachment.
Now that would be perfect for working in the garden in the rain...that is if we had any rain...
Hurry back, I know you're all having fun but we're coming close to foundering here...

I could use one of these for my kid's baseball and football games. It seems to be raining a lot.
I used to have one of those. I was on the front page of our school newspaper wearing it on crazy hat day.

What a clever gadget, and I love all the colours, its a bit like the little windmills that you get for the garden, I just can't resist as I love all the colours together!
