Swine Flu Fashion

The hottest thing in fashion right now: the Swine Flu mask.

But while that thing probably prevents you from catching those nasty pork germs flying through the air, I refuse to wear one. Not only do you have to spend the day breathing in your own nasty coffee breath (what, just me?), but those things are U-G-L-Y (they ain’t got no alibi…).

They also happen to ruin my perfectly (and painstakingly) straightened hair and don’t really go with the look I’m trying to pull off. Because my “look” isn’t “nurse.”

But, being that college campuses are being infiltrated by this not-so-deadly disease, I listened to my mom and jumped on the mask bandwagon. (The woman sent me a box of these things with a note that said, “Think of this as a condom for your face and don’t leave home without it! Even to the bar!”) I am not sure how I am expected to knock back a few cold ones with this thing on, but I do know that the mask is a blank canvas and is just asking to be glammed up for every occasion.

So, I bring you: Swine Flu Fashion. Who says you can’t be safe and still look totally ferosh?

A true diva never leaves the house without her lipstick, regardless of a Swine Flu outbreak. I shouldn’t have to sacrifice beauty just because I’m afraid of a few germs. Just throw this on and head out on the town. Even Revlon’s Outlast Lip Color doesn’t last longer than this.

What can I say? I like my designers. And since this mask it the most obvious accessory I’ll be wearing for the next few weeks, it better look good.

Spring is here and florals are everywhere. Pair this with a high waisted skirt, some gladiator sandals and you will be ready to hit the town in style.

So versatile. So chic. And you know black goes with everything.

    Are you taking orders? If so, I'll take a lipstick medical mask. A lady never leaves the house without her lipstick… even during a swine flu outbreak ;)

    Just an FYI, Those don't prevent the flu. The virus travels through it anyway. You'd need something closer to a gas mask.

    I have a relative who got the Swine Flu in Mexico. It is a good thing that he already recovered from this disease.
