If I wore one of those into my local Qwik-E-Mart, I'd be shot by Apu! And, no joke, my local service station has a sign on their door reading "No costume masks allowed inside." Darn!

Preserving one's pale skin, the thinking goes, implies that you lead a pampered, successful life.
If this is true then, as an extremely pale skinned redhead, I must look like the most pampered, successful person in the world!

"In many cultures, a tan doesn't imply health and leisure, as it often does in Western advertising. Instead, it's seen as a connection to outdoor work, and the peasantry. Preserving one's pale skin, the thinking goes, implies that you lead a pampered, successful life."
Not surprising. Western Civ used to be the same way, apparently, as indicated by poets praising their love's extremely fair skin.

Calling them face condoms would be more like it.

I looks to me like they're going for the "Mexican wrestler" look, but they need to add stripes and lightning bolts and such to their rubber masks.
