Two influencers in Bali recorded themselves going to new extremes in order to avoid complying with COVID-19 mask guidelines—all under the pretense of creating entertaining content for their followers. Now, however, they're facing the harsh consequences of their actions, including the possibility of deportation.
Josh Paler Lin and Leia Se are the two influencers behind the video, which appears to have been taken down from their social media accounts but has since been reposted elsewhere.
Clips of the video show the pair attempting to enter a Bali supermarket, where they are refused entrance because Se is not wearing a mask. In order to evade the policy, they return to their car, where Lin uses makeup to paint the appearance of a blue surgical mask onto Se's face. The end product does look somewhat like a real mask, complete with white trim and straps, so long as Se doesn't open her mouth.

Arrogance and stupidity have their own built-in payback.
I’ll have to try that.
They also risked being shot dead by that rare, bad cop.
I’d feel worse than I do about Wuhan flu mass hysteria except it is wore over seas. Such a shame.
Let me give them a Bali High Five.
For an internationally famous famous Tourist destination, I get the impression Bali does not have much sense of humor.
I say her ‘Mask’ looks as cute as a button.
“Influencer” = “Amateur marketing hack available to sell one’s reputation to a random collection of nobodies/parent’s basement dwellers for nearly nothing”
Having vacationed in Bali a couple times, it’s one of my favorite places on earth. The people are amazing and the SCUBA diving is unmatched. But when you visit another country, you follow their rules.
Mock these laws at your peril. This couple, no matter how not guilty the chick is, gets no sympathy for being kicked out.
Sovereignty is an interesting fiction these days.
I posted this because I found it amusing, and because if I saw someone do this at a store near me It would brighten my day.
Yes certainly, like China, Iran, NorK ...
Certainly seems like you are countenancing their rules
The mask is kewl, but I want to know how she gets her
eyes to look like that...Riddick eyes!
Come on Riddick4~!
>> Come on Riddick4~!
Exactly!
Reliably good films.

-— You forgot the part about being terminally cute and functionally stupid.
Clever by half in the wrong country. She needs to shop at Publix in Florida.
