'No one can wear a mask for too long....'
'Mardi Gras allows people to express opinions they normally would not, and to behave in ways not normally considered appropriate. Mardi Gras masks are essential to this, as they render everyone nameless and faceless. With your mask on, you can be a bit out of control without fearing ridicule or repercussions, during this time when being out of control is socially mandated and embraced.'
'Anthropologists view celebrations like Mardi Gras as formal and regular mass pressure-release valves. Whole communities tacitly agree that for about three weeks or so out of the year, they’re going to shake off the more rigorous rules of decorum and let it all hang out.'
'This mask can’t hide my crazy.'
