We Heart Masquerade
So, my girl Janice hit celebrated her 25th birthday at midnight held at The Loof! It’s a Masquerade themed-party and the birthday girl is all-dressed up as a pretty Princess! Yes, no one can steal her thunder. It’s not about quarter-life crisis, but this is about the celebration about being young and lovin’ yourself at any age. And, laughing at yourself because life is too short to be boring (unfortunately, I’m quite boring myself). Here are some shots from last night:
It’s my party and I’ll dress as a Princess if I want to! Knowing Jan for the past almost 7 years, she’s the only person who’s crazy over themed-parties and I wasn’t surprise at her birthday costume choice.
I actually bought my mask yesterday from No. 1 Costume Costume at Aliwal St. This was the only one that fits my face properly and it left gold glitter all over my face! I like Ashley’s D-I-Y “spring onion” mask and love that lace top!!
Such camwhores! Moe Moe and I striking a pose in the very cramp “room”… it’s unfortunate that we couldn’t get our feet into the camera. Is Moe Moe grabbing my boobs?
HAHA, we’re so silly! For your information, I didn’t have a single drop of alcohol last night. But, I had two slices of pizza, Reena looks soooo cute in her “check-out-my-cute-ass” pose.
My sexy look turned constipated face. I’m impressed by my very “accurate” lense flare on Terence’s bling bling. Haha, talk about perfect placement. Why isn’t anybody wearing their masks?
That’s Ivy, our very own 93.3FM DJ (not sure what her Chinese name is)… but then again, I don’t listen to Chinese radio! Sorry. She’s the game “host” of the day.
Moe Moe couldn’t find her Venetian mask and turned up with a “Party Time” mask! Reena looks very Zorro-like in her black glittery mask.
The mask was getting very itchy. Surprise! Surprise! Ghim Khoon got the exact same mask as Reena. Fate or what? LOL… they’re both gonna kill me.
These two jokers, Marcus and Daniel came as caricature masks of THEMSELVES! I thought it was ingenious. No wonder they’re in Advertising.
Ronald (a.k.a. Prince Charming) is writing the “dares” for the game that he planned for. Ivy is helping out by folding and hosting the game. BTW, Ronald and Jan are not dating. He’s the BFF.
Let the games begin! Geetha got the first dare and Jan has to stick her head between Geetha’s boobs. You don’t wanna see the next picture unless you’re a perv! Geetha looks ultra flamboyant in her red angel wing.
Who’s the SEXY BACK! Someone has to do a striptease cum dance for the birthday girl. MUAHAHAHA. Check out the Paparazzis on the other end. I’m not revealing who’s the cute bum to protect his identity. LOL, birthday girl looks extremely thrilled. No wonder the people at The Loof thought we were throwing a Hen’s Night.
The Mass Comm gang reunion from the “Cool” cohort. Look at Nick in his Paul Frank “skulls” Pajama pants. He said, “I was looking for an excuse to wear it out of the house and I thought of pairing it with furry Crocs” I’m so glad he didn’t – instead, he came barefooted.
The three “manly” boys ordered MARGARITAS… and “peacock” Ian was proud to present his very manly, Gin and Tonic. LOL. Talk about role reversal.
Finally! It’s midnight and Jan got to blow her candles. I love her really delicious chocolate cake from Canele – I had three plates! Sshhhh. HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY,
Masquerade Ball in month of October
I am planning for a fun masquerade party gathering at my house in Seremban next month since it’s going to be Halloween month in October checking out for some interesting site for ideas to make masquerade mask..
Found out some info from Wikipedia about masquerade ball (or masque) is an event which the participants attend in costume, usually wearing a mask.
Such gatherings were based on increasingly elaborate allegorical pageants and triumphal processions celebrating marriages and other dynastic events of late medieval court life. Masquerade balls were extended into costumed public festivities in Italy during the 15th century Renaissance (Italian, maschera). They were generally elaborate dances held for members of the upper classes, and were particularly popular in Venice. They have been associated with the tradition of the Venetian Carnival.
I found some very nice mask design here at blusmoonmask and also some other halloween masks
I thinks it would be a great fun time if everyone can come in their own made mask and also costumes, if you need any ideas what to wear head to adult Hallowen costumes Check out this site, they have loads of wonderful costume ideas !
In Israel the Masquerade Begins
The game is a masquerade. In the masquerade everyone dons their masks. The peasants may become lords and the lords, peasants. The sheep may dress as wolves and the wolves as sheep. The cowards will roar like lions and the traitors will puff out their chests like the noblest of patriots.
The name of the masquerade is politics of course. Just in time for a major peace conference and a proposed laundry list of concessions that will move Israel one dangerous step closer to oblivion, Olmert and Barak suddenly appear to have found their cojones. Olmert approved an attack on Syria which if true, sounds as if it should rank among Israel's most daring operations. Barak meanwhile is busy playing the hawk, mustering out his most militant rhetoric, blustering that there is no Palestinian partner in peace... even as his own government prepares to make massive concessions to the terrorists.
There is a reason why politicians hate extremists and why to a politician the worst curse word, the worst accusation is to be labeled an extremist. Because extremists are open about what they are. Love them or hate them, embrace them or revile them, you know what an extremist's views are. By contrast the successful politician closely prescribes to Machiavelli, you can only guess at his views by the track record... because the politician is always participating in a masquerade. But while it may be impossible to be sure of what a politician is, you can be sure of what a politician isn't... a politician isn't what he is trying so hard to appear to be.
Even as Olmert and Barak down their lion's masks and roar at the audience and paw the air, the police has begun a crackdown on Women in Green. Women in Green of course were notorious for doing their best to obstruct previous concessions and agreements. Olmert and Barak's sudden militant posture only makes it obvious that it is a feint intended to distract the voting public from their true intentions, which are not militant but pacific. That is why the release of Arab terrorists from Israeli prisons continues unabated. That is why the sham disarmament agreements which have yielded only more terror, are part of the larger pretense... the next step of the concessions.
In the madness of the cowardly, Olmert and Barak have decided that they can get the best deal with a weakened Abbas, a puppet they can use to ward off Hamas, foolishly forgetting that agreements with the Palestinian arabs have no value whatsoever and that in Arab politics, the militants are always destined to win in the end.
We have a hint now of what will be handed over, the final status lines that will be drawn and redrawn, the blade carved into the heart of the City of G-d by the traitors who spin the wheel of fate as if it were merely their own fate rather than that of a nation.
Every act is leading up to the second phase, of which the first phase was the creation of a terrorist state. The second phase will be the creation of a terrorist nation... if it is not stopped before it is too late.
Meanwhile the masquerade is in full swing, the clown President waves at his public, the ringmaster Defense Minister cracks his whip, the acrobats distract the public with scandals and the trick is about to happen on stage in which the lady which is the land of Israel will vanish but not reappear.
