FACE MASK BECOMES de REGUEUR

It is de regueur in the tradition of Eastern women having faces covered on what they refer as burqa.  It connotes religious reverence and devout filial piety.  It discourage to generate sexual arousal, interest and desires.

 

With the Covid-19 pandemic that had spread worldwide, as one of the measures, face mask were imposed by health protocols safeguarding the welfare of mankind.

 

The significant influence transcends its journey au courant as an innovative fashion statement that creates a scenario of no boundaries presented in an East and West confrontation in a rapport and harmonious state.
