Masks

I'm waiting for a lacy eye mask to arrive in the mail today (part of my adult toy company offerings, of course), so of course I'm thinking of masks.

My first introduction to masks was the masquerade ball in "Labyrinth" and ooof, that was a hot, hot ball watching it now that I'm not a pre-teen. C'mon, Jareth in those tight leggings (I still refuse to believe the bulge was fake -- no. Just no) dancing around and watching Sarah try to figure out who was who with everyone wearing a mask and knowing he could have been behind any of the masks? Yup, smoking hot.

And then there's the masked scene from "Eyes Wide Shut". I'm going to admit that I don't actually think I've ever watched that full movie -- mainly because at the time, I was still pretty close-minded and almost puritanical. Y'all can stop laughing now knowing that that girl became the writer of this blog and sells sex toys. ;) Hmm, thinking I should watch that movie and see what I think of it now.

This blog itself is in a way a mask that I wear every so often to hide behind in a sense, since I don't have it affiliated with my name at all. Although, so many of my readers know who I am, and I also know for a fact that it has changed some perceptions of me -- for the better from what I understand. I definitely like it. But I also like that when I'm looking for a job or meeting someone for the first time, this part of me isn't known and out there attached to my name. So it's a mask I will happily keep as a mask.

Hmm, this post got away from me a bit. I started out writing it thinking I was going to chat about the masks that people wear in every day life, but it went elsewhere. Works for me -- that's kind of how my mind works.
