Putting On The Mask

Note:  I kinda really want one of these installed in my house.  

It might take a while before it comes in handy, but when it finally does, it will totally be worth it.

Hey, Internets--I was thinking that since I spent every single Friday of last month giving a showcase to various shops on Etsy, I should do something special this month for Mondays. This is partly because there's a part of me that feels a little bad for Mondays, as that it's safe to say that about nine-tenths of the world hates Mondays with a passion that burns like a wasps nest doused liberally in aerosol hair spray (meaning  real hot and quick, and with a lot of stinging wrath involved.)  Also, I just came up with an alliterative name for it, and I live by a code that plainly states that anything alliterative is always awesome.

Also, I am typing this up at a Starbucks, so I'm just going where my wacky muse is taking me.  The sooner I can finish this entry, the sooner I can shut this down and stop feeling like I'm being That Person.  So on that note, I would like to inaugurate Mask Monday, where I am just gonna post all the random-yet-amazing masks that I happen to find.

Because really, if you can't appreciate a well-made mask during this month of October, then it's going to be a long month for you.  Just sayin'.

Mind you, I have no idea what kind of costume you would come up with for this tree-like mask, but I'm thinking it's snazzy enough that you can pretty much say it's anything and it'll work.  Woodland sprite?  A relative of Grandmother Willow?  One of those spooky trees from The Evil Dead?  Let your imagination light the way!

All I have to say about this mask:  I have never played BioShock, and thanks to this creepy bunny mask, I'm sure I never will.  That is all.

While it might still be a long way away from la Día de los Muertos, I think this calaca-inspired mask is pretty dang sweet.  


And just for all the Legends of Zelda fans out there, here's the best Skull Kid mask I have ever seen:

And since I'm not going to be able to top that, time to shut this puppy down.

See you Wednesday!
