    These events are more than thrilling. The mask is the only inhibition. Who wouldn't kill for an invite?

      Thank you CrazyWaterSpring.
      It is my firm belief that we all have a Harlequin within, its just a question of where and when he will be exposed?

      I really want an invite, now that I am thinking about it...And I would keep my mask on.

    A masked ball...quite a concept.
    Quite a poem. I was enthralled.
    Now I want to go to one...

      Thank You Quintesse.
      It is rather strange how people's personalities can change once masked and costumed.

      Think about it...in some ways it is empowering. If the eyes are "windows," it is like pulling down the blinds where you can see out but no one can see in. For some people I guess that gives them courage.
      I'd rip my mask off in five seconds because I get a thrill from putting it all out there. Maybe that makes me some kind of emotional exhibitionist. Not sure.

      There is always the temptation of being totally "Un Masked" but i think its the anominity of the situation, however fragile, that stokes peoples emotions.
      There are not many times in life, when one can let a character take over one's emotions, the chance of living a lie, and that lie not only excepted but fully embrassed, if only for an evening.
