Accessorize Your New Year's Outfit With A Mask

masquerade masks were originally designed in Italy to provide a type of diversion for the townfolk during festival months, and caught on swiftly, once undetectable behind a mask, the gentlemen and ladies could freely associate with the commoners during festival. Old Italian law noted the two classes were not authorized to mingle, a law which, if broken could result in major consequences. Even in the face of such consequence, the noblemen including clergy would cover up themselves and speak together with the commoners, doing their finest to ferret out very important political material from them. The construction of the masquerade cover up can be as plain or as sophisticated as the maker could imagine. Because beads, ribbon and feathers were generally plentiful and radiant, they were common pieces on masks. After their inception in Italy, the likeability of the masquerade mask dispersed swiftly throughout the world.

Styles of Venetian Masks

There are five standard Venetian mask types which are constructed from leather, paper mache' or with the application of gesso and gold leaf. The Bauta mask, with its square jawline, sharp chin without a mouth, hid the face for complete anonymity. The Bauta is one of the earliest Venetian masks, whose legitimate name is "Larva," which means ghost mask. The Bauta mask was created with a jutting beaked front, allowing its user to both eat and drink while remaining masked-the design also changed the tone of the wearer's voice, adding further to the mystery. The Bauta was usually either black or white and was the one mask which was not worn exclusively at carnival times; it was actually obligatory for women to don the Bauta mask when relishing a night at the theater.

The impressive black velvet oval mask, thought to accentuate the womanly features, is known as a Moretta or Servetta Mutta, which suggests a mute maid servant, most likely because the wearer was unable to speak a result of the mask's style. The Moretta mask originated in France but became quite the rage amidst Venetian women who wore it while visiting the convent, perhaps to help ensure their silence. Although the original Moretta mask was kept in place by way of a button clenched between the user's teeth, modern Moretta masks use ties.

The Larva or Volto masquerade mask is almost all white, likely utilized along with a tri- cornered hat to finish the outfit. Much like the Bauta, the design of the mask alotted the individual to breathe and drink, therefore there was no need to remove it and expose one's identity. The Larva masks were created with fine wax cloth, and were quite lightweight, rendering them suitable for eating, dancing-and flirting!

The Columbino mask was a half-mask, secured to the face using a baton or attached with a ribbon. It was a stunning actress from the sixteenth century who inspired the Columbino; it had been rumored that she believed herself too attractive to hide her complete face. Combine masks tend to be adorned with fur, feathers, jewels, gold, silver and crystals.

The Medico Della Peste mask (The Plague Doctor). A French Physician named Charles de Lorme was the mask's inventor who in fact developed the mask as a safeguard for treating people with the plague. Medico Della Peste is a complete full-faced mask that has a long, slim, hollow beak. These masks are typically completely white, with round eye holes adorned with crystal discs.

The Domino mask is known as a small rounded mask covering merely the eyes as well as the area between them; Venetian Carnival masks were often called domini because they mirrored French priests' winter hoods, with black on the outside and white on the inside. The domino mask is similar to the masquerade mask, though lacks the embellishments and decoration.

The most common colors associated with the masks were usually vivid oranges, reds, blues and greens, with darker colors generally selected for the men's full-face mask. Masks continue to be widespread today either at a Venetian carnival, an non-traditional wedding, costume balls, or special celebrations like Chinese New Year and Renaissance Fair. Probably the most popular use is in the celebration of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Masquerade masks are also commonly used as purely interesting pieces of artwork. New Year's Masquerade balls are also particularly popular affair-after all, using a lovely masquerade mask to welcome in the New Year just seems to go together! The most used colors for New Year's parties often are black and white or black and silver, and many people use stick masks for these events as they can be used intermittently. If you're trying to look really stylish as well as elegant this New Year's, consider the addition of a masquerade mask as part of your outfit.

Birthday Themes - Top 3 Sweet 16 Birthday Party Themes

Turning 16 years old is arguably one of the most important birthday's you will ever celebrate. There is a load of pressure that is on the person throwing the party and mounds of anticipation from the birthday boy or girl. Needless to say, it is a difficult task to pull off well. This article will hopefully provide some great ideas for your party planning and spark some of your own creative juices to plan the best sweet 16 birthday party ever.

Mardi Gras Style- What teenager hasn't seen the Mardi Gras celebration on TV and wished they could be there. It is one of the biggest parties the U.S. celebrates. Invitations are the first glimpse guests will see of your party planning labors. Get creative and include Mardi Gras beads or a masquerade mask with your invite. Organize a mini parade for your guests during the celebration. Include creole food and traditional costumes as much as you can. Make the event the biggest party you've ever seen and your guests will defiantly be amazed.

Spa- If you are planning for a 16 year old girls party the focus should be about pampering. Turn your back yard of living room into a room of relaxation. Renting a spa is always an option, however the price is not optional and is usually pretty expensive. Creating an out door spa with fountains and flowers may be an easier alternative. Recruit some helpers to give the gust of honor and her invites facials, manicures and whatever else they are in the mood for. It is just as easy to move the party inside if weather is a problem outdoors. Be sure to include lots of pampering favors such as:


  • Nail Polish

  • Facial Scrub

  • Moisturizer

  • Hair Treatment

Sometimes a salon will carry trial sized products and will allow you to buy them. Go to a local salon and explain your plans and ask if they can help. Serve light refreshments with the treatments.

Hollywood Royalty- We've all seen a Hollywood award show with the red carpet and stunning gowns. If you are like me then you've also wished you could get all dressed up and attend an event like that. A sweet 16 party is the perfect occasion to create this kind of atmosphere. Make sure your guests know to dress in formal wear and that there will be an evening of dancing, entertaining and food. You'll need a venue large enough to entertain a crowd and several different activities. Send the guest of honor out early to get their hair done and make sure they are all dressed up. Start the evening off with a grand entrance of your guests. Announce their names and who they are seen with as if they were royalty. You may also want to ask a local dance group to do a number welcoming your guest of honor. Make sure their entrance is unique and special. A night of food, dancing and entertainment will be a hit with everyone.

The one thing every party has in common no matter what the theme is, it's going to need the essentials. Tableware, balloons, streamers and lots more should be part of any party. Don't neglect to include these details when planning your perfect sweet 16 event.

Masquerade Weddings Are Fun For All!

Throwing a masquerade ball wedding is a great event that is fun for everybody who is in attendance. While some people think that having a theme like masquerade balls for their wedding is not fun for the men or the children and is geared more towards the females, this is definitely not true. In this article, I will go over a few short reasons why it is much better to have a masquerade wedding than any other type of wedding theme!

First of all, having a masquerade ball wedding is a lot of fun because it is different and exciting. People absolutely love the mystique and elegant, fashionable, and stylish way that they feel when they go to an extravagant masquerade wedding wearing a beautiful looking masquerade mask.

Also, masquerade masks can be as elaborate and extravagant as you want them to be, which leaves lots of room open to customization and individuality for the brides, and even the groom as well in many instances. Women love to wear the big, flashy feathers in their masks. Also, masks that have gorgeous trims and jewels on them are very popular among people who are attending a masquerade wedding.

Also, masquerade themes are great because they create a memorable experience that they will always remember, and are sure to never forget. It really sticks with a person when they get to dress up any way that they like, and also have a gorgeous woman with them to enjoy the masquerade wedding as well! Masquerade wedding are great all year round.
