Decorative masks make the Swine Flu fashionable

It's the latest thing out of Mexico and it's catching on! No, not the swine flu. That's old news. Decorated surgical masks are the latest hip fashion statement.

While I know that the H1N1 virus aka Swine Flu is a very serious matter, it didn't take long for people to start taking advantage of the situation and having a little fun.

It's pretty much all we've been hearing the the news this week, so I'm sure people are getting a little tired of such key words like "swine flu," "pandemic," "outbreak,". If you've got to sport a mask, why not decorate it and make it fun to wear?

The fashionable thing to do know is to decorate your mask and show it off. In fact, several
designers have already come out with creative masks and are selling them online.

Whether it's a drawing on a manly mustache, pretty butterfly, menacing skull, smiley face or even a rose, it's catching on. Even the street performers are getting into the act.

Not sure how to get started on your next creative project? eHow offers step by step instructions on how to decorated your own mask.

So even though the H1N1 is serious, it's nice to see people can find humor in what could be a scary pandemic and add some style to the "better safe than sorry" motto.
