That, what with the near constant surveillance we've got going on in our modern 21st Century world, that owning a mask might be prudent just to maintain your Gjod-given right to remain anonymous. However, there is something off-putting about masks that instantly gets you lumped into the "crackpot/crazy/bank-robber" faction, that doesn't lend itself to polite society.
Now there's the comedic route, such as the classic "Groucho" glasses/moustache combo such as this...

(apart from the model's dead eyes...but anyhoo...)
I've never been an advocate of the futurists take on the unisex "unitard" as what we're all going to be wearing in the future...but I'd much rather look like this:

That you have no comment to this post?
I mean seriously, do you all agreee that we, as attractive and active fashionistas (sp??) will confidently walk into a future where everyone looks like a fencer?
I mean, I think I'm chill wid it, but it's a pretty off-the-path angle from the pamphlet I got when I walked thru the gates of the 21-st century.
