Blowfish Lightmask

We profoundly wish to thank all of our happy customers of our Blowfish Tearaways product - even those who wish to remain anonymous.

We have found some dissatisfaction, however, among those who have tried to use the product in the dark - they may try to sneak up to the window, slap on the plastic, and apply the "blowfish" face - only to find that those on the lighted indoor side of the window can't even see them. They're left straining in the dark, risking buccal rupture, even pounding on the glass, but are defeated by the internal reflections.

Now, abandon your darkness. Blowfish Lightmasks are made of the same crystal-clear plastic, but formed to fit a face - and have, embeddded between layers, a set of LED lights in strategic locations: the inside corner of the eye, below the nose, and even inside the mouth. The tongue-operated switch is mounted on a bar with small silicone pads for the corners of the mouth so as to not interrupt the acheivement of a good seal.

Place the mask on your face, adjust for comfort, and then approach the window. Put your face on there, press hard, make sure your nose is turned up to give a good up-the-nostril view, roll your eyes up somewhat to make sure the whites are exposed for better reflection, get a good seal with your lips, mouth wide, keep the tongue down for a good view in there, too. Then trigger the switch.

The sudden lighting will usually attract attention. When you turn the light off, you effectively disappear.

You leave those beyond the window with no evidence except the frightful memory - and it's easier to get away in the dark.
