| We ran across several hotel guests who had "jumped the gun." Most were naked save for domino masks but several wore full masks--of animals or birds, or abstract fantasy. One couple dressed most gaudily in nothing but paint. I was glad I had my terry cloth caftan. [1, p. 12] |
A domino mask is the type of small mask the Robin, Batman's sidekick, would wear. It typically only covers the area around the eyes and is held in place by a strap that wraps around behind the head.
Gaudy means to be flashy or showy.
A terry cloth, or more appropriately, terrycloth (one word) is the type of fabric that most towels are made of, which consist of threads woven together in loops. This type of material, as you can imagine, is quite absorbent.
