I can't be the only person who thinks people look perfectly OK

in the masks. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who looks bad in one.

Both heroes and villains in movies look good in masks. Cowboys doing the ultimate in macho activity, driving cattle, wear masks. The coolest motorcycle helmets only show the eyes if they aren’t covering the entire head.

I don’t get why a man who wears his hair like a helmet, colored a weird yellow and who puts on orange makeup with white raccoon eyes can possibly think covering up his anus shaped mouth makes him look worse. It’s mind boggling.

Even wearing head-to-toe Ebola-level PPE. For most of us, it is just a solid relief not to have to worry about makeup or if our hair looks lousy. A slim silver lining-- given how little sleep many are getting over the past weeks.

What an incredibly superficial society we live among now.

to wear a mask in order to be admitted to the concert. I can't begin to tell you how surreal it was to look at a completely masked audience! Having lived in Venice (Venezia) for 7 years, I quickly learned that a half mask (only covering the eyes) is So-oo-o much more comfortable than a full mask (covering the eyes, nose and mouth.) But I wear my mask here whenever I go out.

If I have to go out, I get my business done and leave.

I really don't pay much attention to people in general, and I've always had fairly large personal space needs.

So if anyone is daring me to do anything, it's going completely unnoticed by me.

But I have to say, for some, wearing a mask makes their eyes pop and that is usually beautiful.
I guess you need to get accustomed to feeling comfortable after any change but there is no need to feel ashamed in regards to how you look.

I would have asked him if he drives the wrong way down one-way streets. There were 4' blue arrows in every aisle, and yet he was in the wrong direction every time. He was, at least, masked.

Jeff Tiedrich said, "... the president is a hopped-up-on-drugs bloated creampuff with dainty baby hands dangling from his withered t-rex arms, teetering on 3" lifts in his shoes and a girdle that makes him pitch forward like he's about to face-plant."

... and we haven't even mentioned his baggy suits and ridiculous ties.

All I can think is that Trump thinks photos of himself wearing a mask legitimizes the seriousness of the pandemic, and he doesn't want to do that.

That’s probably why he doesn’t wear reading glasses or eye shield glasses.

Pure vanity, totally blind to the obviously badly applied makeup and every other bad ideas he has regarding his looks.
