As people everywhere continue the practice of social distancing, clinical social worker and therapist Mindy Vincent is doing her part to "cock block" coronavirus. In a viral post made Thursday, Vincent unveiled what she is calling #ProjectPenisMask, an initiative designed to politely (and hilariously) remind strangers when they've gotten a bit too close.
"When someone tells me my mask has penises on it, I kindly let them know this is how I determine they are too close," Vincent said. "Kindly, back the fuck up."
Following up in a vlog posted Friday, Vincent shared that she had originally purchased the penis masks for herself and her coworkers as a means of safely continuing their work at the Utah Harm Reduction Coalition — a nonprofit serving vulnerable populations affected by substance abuse where Vincent serves as executive director.Ordering the masks from a manufacturer in China, Vincent thought it would be a fun way to maintain the health of her, her staff, and the people they serve. Plus, these were the ones set to reach the United States the fastest.
But with a bounty of material at their disposal and tons of folks wanting their own phallic face coverings, Vincent decided to make and sell masks for $20 each with all of proceeds going towards the nonprofit. The masks are currently sold out, but according to the group's website, the staff is hard at work making more over the weekend.
"So many people just don't have a very good sense of humor these days," Vincent said in a vlog, describing those who appreciate her work as members of her "tribe."
"I just love that there are at least 150,000 people [now 370,000 and counting] in the world that would be willing to wear dicks on their face out in public."
