“At least one model...” Then it must be so. The masks are hideous but just because the lips are huge does not make them racist. It would take a bit more than that. Now, beer can butts that would be a bit objectionable.

I’d make all the models wear a paper bag over their heads, with a little screen to see out of.

Full Burqa? No, full Hijab.

I have often wondered why the designers don’t do this.

They are trying to create pre-purchase resonance as an incentive to purchase by showing off how it could look on you, (if only you lost those 30lbs), not the cognitive dissonance that became de rigueur with the Mooch.
