Yeah. I can get that. I actually hid behind special make-up all the time to appear human. It was more so I wouldn't stand out or be immediately identified though. My species is rare as it is and being blue, though not as weird as it is for people here, still kind of sets me apart from other aliens. It's really not helpful when you're trying to lay low and blend in to gather information or pick-pocket.
I have a reputation without actually being recognized.
