At the School Dance segment, right before Allyson finds Cameron drunk and kissing one a girl dressed like a tiger, the camera shows a student wearing a mask of a traditional Japanese anime girl. It's possible that the mask is a Kigurumi Animegao, which is a popular subculture in Japan amongst cosplayers where a person wears an outfit over a skin-colored zentai or morph suit made of spandex or lycra and a full-head mask that makes them look like an anime character. Due to the mask being a little heavy and not having moving mouth parts, the cosplayer generally has to mime and use sign language for communication, and some utilize chalkboards and whiteboards to communicate as well.
