This is the same mask they wear in Eyes Wide Shut, right? I got this off the gallery page, under Performance.

Yeah, that's standard Masquerade imagery. Mardi Gras and all that shit use the same premise. Putting on a mask in that context historically it let you get your freak on in otherwise polite and mannered society where reputation is everything. Of course pervs idealize it as a golden. But it was just another sign of upper class elite degeneracy and decline. Fuckers all had syphilis and the clap and probably a touch of the black plague too depending on the era.
