You Have a Little Something on Your Face

Sabrina Dehoff Mouches

Handbook of Practical Spying, Chapter 3: The Psyche of Disguises

When it comes to detection, the medium is the message.

Accessory: Handlebar mustache (a.k.a. pornstache) — often greased/tapered.
Worn by: showmen with villainous tendencies.
Overheard saying: May I have your attention, please?

Accessory: Eyebrow piercing — barb or hoop at end of brow.
Worn by: K-hole dwellers who didn’t get the memo that the rave is over.
Overheard saying: Lend me your glow sticks/girlfriend.

Accessory: Mouche — tiny beauty spot, first popularized in 17th-century Europe, reimagined in 24-karat gold by Sabrina Dehoff. Worn above the lip or around eyes. Available in thirteen shapes (heart, bow, diamond, etc.) alone or in a set of three with body glue (for easy attachment and reuse).
Worn by: Au courant girls with an edge.
Overheard saying: That’s spot on.
