Those masks are fabulous! I love her voice, but hadn't seen any recent pictures. Thank you!

I love the feel of the third pic, but part of me wants a colour version so I can see the mask.

Those masks are incredible.

Hmmm... I wish I could make it work with glasses. I'd love to always wear a mask.

I think of glasses as a sort of mask. When I put on my glasses, I'm putting on my "work face". When I put on my (prescription) sunglasses, I'm putting on my "defense against the daystar face".

LOVE LOVE LOVE that first pic.

[nanila]

Yup. Whatever that person did, I'm pretty sure they didn't do it again.

Heh.

I reblogged a couple on my tumblr, but linked back to this post.

Fantastic masks! She really rocks the first one in particular. :D

[nanila]

Yes! The simplicity of her makeup - just the matching lipstick - really sets it off, I think.
