Taken a drive down Hollywood Boulevard recently? You may have noticed our dinosaur rocking his massive PPE and boasting a punny “Rawrsh your hands!” sign. As much as he loved his plain-and-simple safety gear, Miss Monster felt our T-rex needed an upgrade. FOX’s The Masked Singer icon has been appearing all over Los Angeles, and she brought gifts.

The Masked Singer , a reality singing competition television series, is nominated for an Emmy this year in the Outstanding Competition Program category. The show became a fast hit and a cornerstone of FOX’s television schedule in just three seasons. Miss Monster, in fact, was a character on Season 3 of The Masked Singer— later revealed to be worn by music icon, Chaka Khan.

As of August 20th, you can catch our T-rex in his Masked Singer garb, social distancing appropriately atop the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Hollywood Odditorium . Two other iconic Hollywood stops have also joined in on the fun—Randy’s Donuts and The Santa Monica Pier. If you haven’t done a drive-by to these Instagram-worthy photo stops, be sure to make your rounds before these icons unmask on August 31st.

This is one larger-than-life, pandemic-proof opportunity you don’t want to miss (because where else can you find a dinosaur, an octopus, and a donut wearing a massive face covering?) Mask up, H’Wood!
