– [Producer] What are your thoughts on face masks?
00:01
– Lovely.
00:02
– Necessary.
00:03
– Life saver.
00:04
– It’s a look.
00:05
– [Producer] Have you ever worn one before?
00:07
– All the time.
00:08
– Whenever I leave my apartment.
00:09
– Whenever I go out.
00:11
– For Carnival.
00:13
Life’s a carnival.
00:14
– [Producer] I’m gonna give you face masks to try on
00:16
and get your reaction to them.
00:19
– Oh boy!
00:19
– [Producer] Sound good? – [All] Yeah.
00:20
– Real good. – Bring it on.
00:22
– [Producer] Great, let’s get started.
00:24
– All right, quit horsin’ around.
00:26
(upbeat music)
00:28
– [Producer] This is your standard safety mask,
00:30
simple yet effective.
00:31
– And life saving.
00:32
– [Producer] What do you think?
00:33
– It’s your basic face mask.
00:35
– [Robert] Yes!
00:36
– It’s bland, it doesn’t say anything
00:37
about your personality.
00:39
– I feel like a nurse.
00:40
– I’m pretty.
00:41
– Glorious conformity!
00:43
– [Producer] This one’s called a face mouth mask.
00:46
– Face mouth?
00:49
– What’s so funny?
00:50
Oh!
00:52
– [Producer] Is that a smile?
00:53
Or are you just happy to see us?
00:56
– [Producer] What do you think?
00:57
– It’s fun.
00:58
– And I think the fact that we’ve gotten to a point
01:01
where we’re startin’ to have fun with masks
01:04
is a sign that they’re becoming more acceptable.
01:08
– [Producer] Get ready to pledge allegiance
01:10
to the American flag mask.
01:12
– [Jessay] Oh!
01:13
– I Ameri-can.
01:14
– Does it come in a jock strap?
01:17
– These things are not flattering on the ears,
01:19
well except for Bob’s.
01:21
– I feel so patriotic.
01:23
– [Producer] You guys got pride, right?
01:25
Show it with this pride mask.
01:26
– Oh yeah baby!
01:28
– [Producer] What do we think?
01:29
– Colorful.
01:30
– Fun.
01:31
– It goes with everything in my closet.
01:32
– Reminds me of a song from “Phantom of the Opera.”

♪ Masquerade ♪
01:38
♪ Paper faces on parade ♪
01:42
♪ Masquerade ♪
01:43
– Oh.
01:44
– This one looks more to be like a fashion.
01:46
– It looked like a little hat thing.
01:49
– No, this is for going out.
01:51
– No, this is for the next drag show.
01:53
– [Producer] This is a rhinestone fashionable face mask.
01:57
– This is half of the mask budget right here.
02:01
It’s all those rhinestones.
02:03
Is it effective?
02:05
– [Producer] No, this mask you need
02:06
a protective mask underneath.
02:08
What do you think?
02:09
– Sex.
02:10
– Sparkly.
02:11
(Jessay sings)
02:12
(mirrors smack)
02:13
– Boy.
02:15
– [Producer] It’s for those special occasions
02:15
that are non-existent in the pandemic.
02:17
– The masquerade balls we’re going to.
02:20
– Goodbye darling.
02:21
Oh, it’s gonna be so much fun to wear.
02:24
– Oh my god!
02:26
– [Producer] Speaking of fashion,
02:27
this is the fashion mask.
02:29
– Shut up.
02:31
Oh yes.
02:37
– Oh give us kids a toy.
02:39
– [Producer] What do we think?
02:40
– I like these! – It’s fun.
02:41
– I can’t wait to wear this
02:43
in the grocery store.
02:44
– Read my lips.
02:52
– [Producer] Next we have a neck gaiter
02:53
scarf bandana headband.
02:55
– Oh my gosh, I’ve got this!
02:57
– [Bill] Oh, that’s fabulous Bob.
02:58
– Okay, that’s better.
02:59
– I can’t see myself in the mirror.
03:02
– I guess you can’t.
03:03
– Help.
03:05
I have claustrophobia.
03:06
– You’re a claustr-mess.
03:09
– I look like I’m gonna rob a train.
03:12
– I’m pretending I’m the Sheik of Araby.
03:15
– [Producer] What is that?
03:16
– It’s a generational thing.
03:17
– [Robert] Oh no, are there more?
03:20
– [Mick] Thank you.
03:21
– [Robert] These are getting more and more elaborate.
03:22
– What is this?
03:24
– How do we do it?
03:25
– I’m sorry, this is.
03:26
– I don’t know.
03:27
– It looks like a pair of underwear right there.
03:31
Oh!
03:32
– [Producer] This is a summer balaclava.
03:34
– [Jessay] It’s a summer mess.
03:35
– Is this right?
03:37
– [Producer] What do we think?
03:38
– Really lightweight.
03:39
– Makes my eyes look old.
03:44
– [Producer] Now this is what’s called
03:45
a face bandana with ear loops.
03:47
– I like it except my ears look too big in it.
03:50
– They are Blanche, they are!
03:52
– I’d wear this to a Western film festival.
03:55
– I’d wear it anywhere.
03:56
– Gonna make goin’ out much more difficult now
04:00
because we have such a selection of masks.
04:03
– [Producer] This is a neck gaiter face scarf
04:06
for special occasions.
04:09
– Is this right Jessay?
04:10
– It’s all right, I don’t know.
04:12
It looks like somethin’ mama would wear
04:14
as an accessory.
04:16
Gotta make mama look pretty!
04:19
– It brings out our feminine side.
04:21
– I already had that.
04:23
– It looks like I’m covering up a very wrinkled neck.
04:26
– And?
04:30
– [Producer] What do we think?
04:31
– It’s a look.
04:33
– Well it’s not for safe, it’s only for looks.
04:35
– [Mick] I should not be caught dead in this thing.
04:38
– [Producer] And last but not least,
04:39
a protective face shield.
04:41
(Jessay gasps)
04:42
Oh my gosh, thank you!
04:44
– It’s a shield.
04:45
We can wear these with our myriad of face masks,
04:49
and we’ll live forever.
04:51
– [Producer] What do we think?
04:52
– Can hear myself better.
04:54
– [Producer] Now remember, you need a protective mask
04:56
underneath this.
04:57
– Which color?
04:58
– [Mick] I think mine is fogging up.
05:00
– Like I’ve been puttin’ a bra on all day.
05:02
– I know.
05:03
– I like this fit.
05:06
– What are these for?
05:07
– [Producer] One, two, three.
05:11
– [All] Oh!
05:13
– [Bill] Oh my god!
05:14
– [Producer] Here comes the light up face mask
05:17
to light up your life.
05:18
– [Jessay] Oh this is amazing!
05:20
– [Producer] What do you think?
05:21
– [Mick] I love it.
05:23
– [Robert] Fabulous!
05:24
– [Mick] I could go dancing with this.
05:26
– [Robert] You have the disco light to go with you.
05:29
– [Mick] I know!
05:30
Too bad we have no place to go with this.
05:32
– [Producer] Got a light?
05:34
What did you think of this experience?
05:36
– As a fashionista, I loved it.
05:38
– We’ve gotta turn a bad situation
05:41
into something that’s fun.
05:42
– [All] Yeah.
05:42
– [Producer] Is there anything you’d like to say
05:43
about the importance of wearing a face mask?
05:45
– It’s so easy to do, and you really need
05:48
to take care of you, and of me.
05:51
– The mask is a sign of your own social responsibility.
05:55
– Whenever I see anyone not wearing a mask,
06:00
the word that immediately comes into my mind is stupid.
06:05
– Oh, hallelujah.
06:06
– [Producer] You guys are a gift to us,
06:07
especially during these unprecedented times,
06:09
and so Grindr is gifting you all the face masks
06:12
you tried on today to help keep you guys safe,
06:14
including our very own.
06:16
(Robert gasps)
06:17
– [All] Oh.
06:19
– Why does this make my eyes water?
06:21
– [Mick] This fits the best.
06:23
– [Bill] This is my favorite.
06:24
– [Producer] Any final thoughts?
06:26
– [All] Wear your mask.
06:28
– And enjoy the journey.
06:29
– Thank you Grindr for making us safe.
