Dystopian Disguises

Bob Basset Boldly Blends Black Leather and Brass

Bob Basset is responsible for creating rather hellish-looking headgear, and may also be to blame for causing night sweats, crawling skin and general paranoia after bearing witness to his dehumanizing mask designs.

In keeping with a dystopian theme of human misery and fear, Bob Basset fashioned the constricting cap from black leather bound with lace, complimented with polished brass.

Implications - From the side, the golden-looking brass is placed in a way that makes the mask look like it is smiling. This smile is definitely a creepy one though! The creepy mask would make for an excellent Halloween costume, although you might get a little sweaty. The leather looks like it would wrap around your face quite snugly.
