Costumes and Masks
The Armagh Rhymers
The music seems straightforward Celtic Folk. But those costumes (and the video's opener) sure are weird. Suitable as we approach Halloween. Not sure how any little kids in the audience might react.

Face mask with simulated nose hairs
Uday Singh of Bloomfield, NJ was recently granted Patent No. 11413194 for a face mask with simulated nose hairs.The idea is that having openings protected by "filter material" (aka fake nose hairs) will solve the problem of mask fogging.
Singh refers to his invention as "an aesthetically pleasing covering for protecting otherwise exposed nasal and/or other facial surfaces." Based on the picture below, 'aesthetically pleasing' isn't the first term that comes to mind.
