#1 Maybe it's covering up her 'essential medical procedures' on her face.

#2 Does it auto-inject Botox at regular intervals?

Cruella's looking even more plasticine than usual these days

#3 From the article:


Limited quantity of form fitting masks made with top quality fabric overruns
Non-medical, reusable, and washable face masks with elastic straps
Made in Virginia from up-cycled all cotton fabric and linings
Comfortably face-conforming with a flex-wired nose bridge
Breathable and quick-drying
Wash with cold water and soap

But the company notes the masks are more for show, not for protection.

Total Flu Chic.

Lot of Flu Chic masks going around, some full down across the chin, even to the throat, others like this poncy thing or with the cloth around the ears trick. All of them are like, "Express your personality through your mask!" Whatever, your call. I get it..allergies, dusty environment, got the sneezles.

If you do feel the need to have a mask, and have never worn a mask before, ask someone you know who knows about masks, and what is appropriate for your summer climate. Those tacticool ones which are oversized for effect will suck in hot temps, especially with facial hair. The shown ponce style is flippant in wind and rain. Around the ears, that is going to get old, quick. Cloth ties get loose when they get soggy. Wear glasses or sunglasses, consider the fogging effect.

May even consider 2, the commuter and the interior. Suggestions welcome; its small things like ball cap forward/brim over eyes increases fogging. Its all fun and games until its 100 degrees and dusty and your mask turns to mud, or it rains and suddenly the mask feels like 5 pounds. Or it gets windy and tries to blow off.

#4 Mrs. Bobby bought several a few weeks ago from a similar source. She ordered Micky Mouse fabric; she got unicorns.

I wear it in public, when we get out of the car, to make her happy. She uses less ... colorful versions.

#5 Made in Virginia from up-cycled all cotton fabric and linings

That's the village of Virginia, China.

and 'up-cycled' cotton fabric and linings? That thing was probably the crotch of padded underwear in a previous life.

#6 Doesn't look like it fits very well. There are a bunch of gaps that would let infected air into the mask and out from under the mask. Of course, when ever she starts talking, a whole lot of infected air will escape from any mask that is not completely soundproof.

#7 Its an accessory_!
Circle snap, z-wave out.

Extra chips into the 'I'll take it seriously when they take it seriously' Venn Circle.

#8 That is a completely ineffective mask.

Note the highly visible designer label. Lets everyone know that the wearer is an elite who has access to a product like this, the cash to waste on it, and the arrogance to wear a faulty product in the middle of a pandemic crisis. Well played by Pelosi, it's not often you can show such contempt with a single move like that.

#9 Donna Lewis that says it donates a mask to Johns Hopkins for every one you buy

Gold. Do they, or you, want them wearing this upgraded trash no-fit designer pocket liner as front line protection? Fook mahn, won't even keep her slurp dribble out of her Manhattan.

#10 Saw a funny ad for a new "Trikini".

A print bikini with a matching mask.

What was that about taking this seriously?

#13 You'd think for $22 you'd get a better fit.

#15 #13. Tough to do that with Nancy, one more face-lift and she'll have a short curly-haired beard

#16 If we get lucky, maybe her designer mask will somehow strangle her.

#17 [sings in J. Lennon Liverpudlian accent ]

Well you should see Polythene Nan
She's so good-looking with 'er face marzipan'd
Well you should see her in drag, wrapped in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Nan
Yeah yeah yeah
d-d-d-DOOP

Get a dose of her in jackboots and mask
She's killer-diller when she's hitting her flask
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
You could say that she was chemically built
Yeah yeah yeah
d-d-d-DOOP

#18 The mask would fit better, no doubt, if she wore it properly, with the elastic around her ears instead of under her hair at the base of her neck.

Would y’all rather she demanded the nearest hospital give her a stash of FDA-approved N-95s instead? As it is, presumably the hospital will use the donated masks for visitors or janitorial staff, people who otherwise would get nothing at all — doing good while using up scraps left over from the design side, and keeping the seamstresses employed for the duration. No doubt if these are popular enough they’ll start cutting up their bolts, as the spring season is toast anyway.

Let not the perfect be the enemy of the good.
