Return of the Nose Masks

By Rick Meyerowitz

Truly nutty ideas never die. They just lie in wait to come back when you least expect it. Exactly twenty years ago, those two wacky books of nasal disguises, "Nose Masks I "and "Nose Masks II," appeared and America seemed to inhale them. There were nose mask parties, celebrities wearing nose masks, nose masks in parades. Today, like the Beetle, the yo-yo, and aviator shades, they're back. "Return of the Nose Masks" is wackiness for a whole new generation of grown-ups, children, and grown-ups with an inner child. Created by the original nose mask auteur, Rick Meyerowitz, here are 150 original costumes for the nose. Printed in four-color and perforated, there is the Fat Cat, Cooool Cat, and Cocktail Cat. Lawrence and Lenore of Arabia. The Velvet Frog. Nefertootsie and the Tut Mask. The three freedoms--Freedom to Sing, Freedom to Dance, Freedom to Shop. Holiday nose masks, underwater nose masks, career noses masks, modern art nose masks. There are little square nose masks and big vertical nose masks. Mustache nose masks, nose ring nose masks, and the Big Tongue page. Even the Buddha, for that mood of spiritual longing. The nose masks come with instructions for any-size nose on any-age face. The fit is snug, and the look is just right. Ships in time for Halloween.

Nose Masks are the best medicine!

Actually, as the saying goes, laughter is the best medicine. The Nose Masks are the vehicle for inspiring laughter. When wearing one of my favorite nose masks, I not only inspire hysterical laughter from others, but I myself laugh the hardest. I can not imagine life without my nose masks. This book is a must for anyone who is silly at heart, or wishes that they could be silly.
