Submitter: I found this 68 year old book in the teen craft section of my local library. It’s full of wearable masks based on people from the 1940’s. Teens at my local library can check out the who’s who of the 1940’s with this book. Please send a heartfelt sorry to Mary from me.

Holly: Ohhhh Maaaaary! Submitter wants you to check this out. And s/he’s sorry.  🙂

(Actually, these are quite good! I love the Eleanor Roosevelt mask, pictured below. This book definitely does not belong in a teen craft section, though.)

Mary: I am sleeping with one eye open. This is so disturbing.
