It keeps Bugs out of your mouth if you are Biking or Walking- Keeps face warm
- You don’t have to hide any facial expressions; it hides it for you!
- E.g., sneer, scowl, smirk, growl, screwface, snarl, zombie-face, “my favorite character just died on TV, and that was three weeks ago, but I’m not over it” face, “I can’t wait to get home” face, “do you have the ‘Rona” face, “am I safe?” face, and “Panic & Anxiety” face.
- Any malformations on your face, Hides them!
- Many people will not be able to recognize you with the right sunglasses!
- If your grumpy, only you know that secret.
- If you’re in a dream and smiling while the topic, in reality, is not smile-worthy, they don’t know you’re smiling.
- If you are a mouth breather – not me, though!
- Hides half your face, duh!
- If the mask mandate comes back, nothing changes in that department for ‘you.
- If someone sprays It instead of saying it, at least ⅔ of your face is safe.
- You can be listening to a song and lip-syncing to it, and no one is confused about what you are doing. They do not know!
- Reason to go back into your house, “I lost my mask; I have to grab another one!”
- Extra Safety, of course.
- F a S h I o N
P.S – this might be satire!
An inspiring example of how to find humor in otherwise trying times…nice work Eve
Very well done! I see the CDC has today relaxed its guidelines for indoor masking for vaccinees, well? Also, in reference to masking, has anyone else noticed that influenza has almost disappeared from the charts in the last year?
Love this piece. : )
It also hides wrinkles and sags. Makes you look 20 years younger!
Love this, Eve! Also, heard on NPR a few weeks ago that a six month old baby who has only seen his grandparents masked, smiles back when they smile at him behind their masks. There must be other signals of smiling besides lips. Eyes? Voice? Baby intuition? Just appreciation, as you say, of great fashion? Jackie Bates
Brilliant!
I never thought I would think it weird to NOT wear a mask! Its going to take some time to get used to it!
And I think you may have started a trend… see the recent New York Times article “They’re vaccinated and keeping their masks on, maybe forever…”
