Fake huge bushy beard facemask   (+6)  [vote for, against]
Confusing

A huge fake bushy beard that is actually a facemask, meeting the "face covering" requirements, but looks as if it doesn't.

This is not just a regular small fabric mask with a beard or moustache printed on it, which are Baked and WKTE; it's a full beard, from the ears, down around the mouth and chin, and covering the neck down to mid-chest level (or lower).

Available in a range of hair colours to match the wearer, or for an extra cost option the colour can be accurately matched at time of manufacture.

Also available for men.

<later>

Has fake lips and nose, made from lifelike silicone rubber, visible through the hair for greater realism.

Amusing link, but not actually a facemask, just a fake beard.

Certainly close enough to constitute Prior Art - we examined that post - but it is primarily for concealment and warmth, whereas this is primarily a filter mask, and sufficiently different to merit being posted as a separate idea.

This has to already be a thing no?
-- doctorremulac3, Feb 01 2021


We can't find an occurrence despite extensive* searching.

More significantly, if it was actually a thing, and can be found through sheer hard work and determination, [kdf] would have posted a really whiny anno by now, instead of a tangentially relevant link to a lady wearing a false beard.

*Using google image search twice, with different search terms.

The posted baked link is clearly not bushy. [+]

BUSHY

adjective: bushy; comparative adjective: bushier; superlative adjective: bushiest 1. growing thickly into or so as to resemble a bush. 2. being in a state of being like, comparable to or similar to a bush.

Use in sentence:

"Hey, that mask it great because it features a beard that's bushy. It would totally suck if the beard wasn't bushy."

Define bush

BUSH: Noun

The thing that something bushy resembles.

"That pencil isn't a bush, not even close."

A bush is something you hide behind when you are practising How Not To Be Seen.

(Note that Mr. E.V. Lambert of Homeleigh, The Burrows, Oswestly, is behind the middle bush).

// Are we back to merkins? //

Heaven forfend ... shut up [xan], nobody wants to know. Look, here's a pound for a cup of tea, now go and bother someone else.

// I see you modified your original spec, not sure if that was before or after I linked the Etsy product. //

Before. The beards there are pretty damn close, certainly the concept is spot on; not quite as per the description, but very near.

At least we got you to do all the hard work of searching for us.

We had in mind a sort of gigantic "Brian Blessed" Vultan beard, the sort that has entire cryptid ecosystems existing in it ...

So this is pretty much Baked but not WKTE.

We are open to suggestions as to whether it should be deleted or not. We suggest that the fake rubber lips and nose are sufficiently innovative to just about earn it the right to exist.

An excellent idea, but we are still waiting for [xandram]'s address to arrange delivery.
