Sterile couture. A Dutch architect designs surgical masks for the Japanese. posted by plexi (4 comments total)
Yeah, that's just what I want to see when I'm coming to after an operation, a nurse with the mouth of a gorilla leaning over me.
Though they could be used for some super cheap Halloween costumes too.
But no, I get that they are for street use to avoid allergies. Its just the thought of being in a hospital bed, groggy from surgery or whatever and seeing the mouth of a gorilla right above your face would require a fresh bedpan for me. posted by fenriq at 4:04 PM on April 28, 2004
I just came home, with a mask in my bag inside a ziploc. I don't have allergies, but I wear a mask when I go into Osaka because the train is so crowded it's easy to pick up someone's bug. During my wife's pregnancy I was especially careful, carrying alcohol-infused tissues to clean my hands throughout the day and iodine gargle. I haven't seen anyone with these masks, but I might try it, people stare at the funny gaijin anyway. posted by planetkyoto at 2:03 AM on April 29, 2004

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
