SAFETY IS FASHIONABLE There’s a lot to love about our Santa Barbara community, and one of my favorites is the passion of the people who live here. One such inspirational person is Arlene Larsen, who has recently set out on a mission we can all participate in to brighten our days.
Costume Designers Guild with years of experience in promotion, she has connections to several of Santa Barbara’s influential celebrities. Arlene’s goal is to show the community, through celebrity participation, how wearing masks doesn’t have to be punishment; it can be a creative, fun fashion statement. She’s spending her own money and time making stylish and eye-catching masks and face shields in a variety of different themes, then mailing them to celebrities to wear in public and hopefully post on their social media. Arlene hopes to help spawn a phenomenon of willingness to adhere to safety practices by having fun while doing it. She’s already sent masks to many local celebrities like Steve Martin, David Copperfield, and Oprah Winfrey. Most recently, she’s received word from Jason Alexander that he and
his wife will be promoting her masks and shields together. Through celebrities, people are more likely to realize that masks can be fashionable extensions of their expressions of style, and not just a one-size-fits-all nuisance. That means they become much more willing to don them in public, promoting better health for all. So, instead of an aggravating chore, it becomes a chance to have some fun with this new normal we’ve all been asked to adhere to.

She welcomes support, connections, and suggestions from the community.
The Larsen name might be familiar to you if you’re a fan of magicians. Arlene is the co-founder of the Magic Castle Cabaret in Montecito, and her husband Milt is a co- founder of the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, which has been in operation since the 1960s. While Arlene’s latest undertaking might consist of a little less wand waving, it’s no less of a magical feat. With controversy over wearing masks intensifying, Arlene felt the call to do something that would inspire people to stay safe. As a member of the Hollywood
