== The Phantom of the Opera Reference? ==
 +
Hello! Guys, you don't have to add this but... I think this hat may (?) be based off of The Phantom of the Opera. This is not some random thing, it is a very famous western musical theater that has been running into recent times since 1986 and was created by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It tells the story of a Phantom living under the French Opera House. Its symbol is a mask, depicted in many different ways, but the one that the musical uses seems to be a mask shaped around most of the face, excluding the eyes and mouth. If you want, add it. This item just seems to make too many references to not be at least partially based on The Phantom of the Opera (Mask is the same except with color, it is called the Party Phantom, and it has is worn by a French Guy who can turn invisible.

Trivia

There's more than one reference here... we can't just include the Phantom of the opera because it's part of the name... the model is clearly styled after carnivals and masquerades (both of which are a form of PARTY). If we're going to include the Phantom reference, we also have to include the party reference too. Remove or modify to include? Suggested:
