I'm willing to bet that the Gas Mask Ring will be the hottest fashion accessory of 2011. Gas masks have made a huge comeback recently appearing in everything from fashion shows to smoke shops.
The mask sits on your middle finger and is connected to your index finger via a hose. The Gas Mask Ring is great because it lets you sport a gas mask without hiding your face or scaring others into thinking that a chemical attack is imminent.
