Look around -
here's another

Do you have a Masquerade Ball to attend? I have been hankering for a good dress up party. Oh, my favorite thing is to play dress up and don a costume that provides an alter ego (like this- can you guess who?) How about you? What were your favorite costumes over the years?? Do share.....

Now this looks like my kind of party. I would love to go to a masquerade ball. One of my favorite movies in Marie Antoinette, and the scene where she is attending the mysterious masquerade ball.

I've been dying to go to a masquerade ball. Ooh. I'm planning one, and I hope I can pull it off. I own a small collection of masks, and there are glow-in-the-dark plastic masks and some feathered masks too.

Ohh, that mask in the second image is just gorgeous!
I want to host a masquerade party now!
