The New Normal of Mask Fashion

I actually went out of the house the other day. Of course I remembered my mask. I don’t get the frustration people have with wearing masks. Personally, I love wearing them. I can mouth swears at people and they won’t be able to see me doing it. From their perspective it just looks like I’m chewing a big piece of gum. In a way, the mask is acting like a muzzle for me.

Another personal favorite part of mask fashion is the mask and sunglasses combo that makes everyone look like Michael Jackson. It’s great to go to the grocery store or coffee shop and see everyone dressed for a heist or incognito from the paparazzi. The mask also does a great job of muffling your voice and making you sound like Kenny from South Park.

Here are three of my predictions for the future of mask culture. A new car accessory, a mask that doubles as an air freshener you can hang from your car’s rear-view window. “You look good in a mask” is going to become the newest back handed compliment. Fast food restaurants will be at the forefront of innovation when they finally roll out the “N95 feed bag combo mask.”

So far, I have almost forgotten put on my mask three times. When I realize my mistake it’s a moment where I think “Oh no, I’ve been exposed!” The dead giveaway that I’ve forgotten my mask is when I’m walking towards the store and everyone is giving me a look as if I’m not wearing any pants. I then proceed get my mask from my car and mouth insults at the people on my way back into the store, under my mask.
