i don’t think it looks cool, but i don’t think it’s not cool. i mean, they’re probably a lot less easily recognized in ‘real life’, so that must be great for them, being real people and all. besides, some people would rather be behind a physical mask when they’re revealing personal things. it doesn’t affect me any more than the boys in guns n’ roses’ hair way back when, or steven tyler’s huge mouth.
