Soo I had a pretty good day dressing up with this lady... I'm always trying to find funny stuff to put on just for fun memories sake...
Originally masquerade balls were to celebrate a wedding or major royal event, while wearing a costume and masquerade mask.
Here's a few fun facts about masquerade :D
1. Masked prostitutes would engage in the most reckless games of eroticism, and be certain that their anonymity would dissolve all accepted restraints.
2.
Aristocrats, who would usually go to great lengths not to disclose even a clue of their sexual preferences, were able to wear masks and star in acts that back then were not only sinful but also against the law.
3. Even gamblers wore masks to remain anonymous, lest great personal wins and/or losses of money or possessions would not be known by the community.
4.
The average citizen found that by wearing a mask they could act like a stranger, revealing their real persona, which they normally kept to themselves to avoid being judged by others.
5.Masquerade balls grew with the creativity of the Renaissance time into semi public events where commoners and servants could intermingle under the veil of a mask.
Weirddd first fact!! Oh Yeahh, I really liked 'All the Right Moves' by The Script.. It's a good song about Masquerades.. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtJuVwstyE0
