Who loves themed-parties? My friend, Janice is throwing a Masquerade 25th birthday bash at House @Dempsey on an undisclosed date (just in case there will be party crashers!). I haven’t been to a theme par-tay in awhiel thanks to my very boring life. So, here am I seeking inspiration for the fabulous party and I’m on the hunt for a dramatic mask. Yes, I’m all about drama!

This is Masquerade on the ‘cheap’. Just a simple strip of black veil across the eye - as inspired by Marie Antoinette. This simple ‘mask’ works due to the elaborate 18th century costume and electrified hairdo.

Our favourite Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf threw a Masquerade ball in which Nate came as the ‘Phantom’ and lil’ J is looking hot in her Venetian mask that compliments her golden locks. Hot inspiration, I need to watch that episode again.

Janice said her party is inspired by her favourite movie of all time, Phantom of the Opera. I’m sure the boys will turn up in their Phantom or Guy Fawkes masks. I’m excited to see the varieties that the guys will turn up with.
Talk about classy. Blue Moon is “a big centre of production of the traditional Venetian paper mache masks” located in Venice, Italy. I fell in love with the masks on their website - but of course, with excellent workmanship - it comes with a price. I am digging the idea of this Gattino mask that costs EUR$123.00! Must find a close alternative to this. Hmm.
You want drama? This Cignetta mask is going to absolutely eccentric, with its metal and Swaroswki crystals finishing.
This is quite similar to lil’ J’s mask called Catwoman. I love.

Maybe hand painted mask? I like the idea of it. What do you think?
