Hiding in Plain Sight
Your face is covered with panty raider camouflage (my fair lady). Since you're not in a sorority orc's room, the camouflage isn't particularly convincing. Since you look so bizarre and incongruous, though, your enemies' brains will refuse to acknowledge your existence until you make yourself known. Either that or they'll try to avoid eye contact from empathic embarrassment.
