Ski Masks Allow You To Rob Banks As Your Favorite Marvel Character →[More:]
These came out in 2009, but I just stumbled across them. For whatever reason, I associated full-face ski masks with bank robbers, as does whoever wrote that page. But to be honest, in the chilly evenings when I walk a mile from the bus stop back home, a full-face mask doesn't sound like such a bad idea.

I agree, it's cold, but the idea of looking like a criminal also gives me pause.
Perhaps a knitted one with a mustache?

Crap, I have wanted a good hat with ears for a while for winter but apparently now they are crazy trendy.

Ah, but you can join the fun now, and also be crazy trendy, or smile more than seems normal in your part of the world, and just be crazy. Don't pass up an enjoyable hat just because other people say (or might think) it's unwise.

Alas, I believe Linsey Lohan and Kesha and their various ilk, however you spell their names, may not be a taint that can be removed. They now have a cultural timestamp and it has already spread to suburbs. It is a rage. Plus, the marketing is abominable.
