Fig. 1 - Cihongo masks are created by the skilled carvers of the Chockwe people in Africa and were originally worn as symbols of wealth and power.
Fig. 2 - Mahakala masks feature five skulls to signify victory over the five emotional obscurations and are used to defeat evil spirits.
Fig. 3 - Tengu masks represent some of the oldest mythological dieties in Japan. Their long noses are phallic symbols indicative of fertility and good harvest.
Fig. 4 - Anthropologists consider the Lil’ Kim mask to be the strangest and most unusual of all the world masks. It actually changes appearance at will and is effective at confusing the public and scaring young children. Anthropologists will continue to study this strange cultural artifact until an explanation can be found.

In two years, Bee Hind, she’ll be just as WHITE as Joan Rivers. The only way to tell them apart are their heights and hair color.

Little Kim’s music is spiritually uplifting. Her desire to be a Caucasian gremlin boggles me. Those fucking sharpie eyebrows man …
