Beautiful music and the backdrop of Venice is perfect. Some of those masks are so ornate in the video, I think the one with the clamshell is extraordinary. Thanks for sharing this too

That is a great photo, and I love the rose. Venetians loved their intrigue and the costumes that allowed more anonymity so the photo is very suggestive of that. Thanks for sharing it

Hugs my friend ... I'm sorry this pains you but as I recall you did wear this costume, not only to Versailles with Nimue but to Lady Olivia's party. I know it's not the same as physically being there.

Thank you Summer, the masks are really a great topic

That's a good point Contessa, since the mask was meant to be anonymous and simple ... everyone might do that on purpose to allow them some 'freedoms' while wearing it

I was thinking about that time you and Mercury wore these outfits at Versailles and I thought you were both wearing plague masks .... I think the masks you wore were this type, the Bauta?

I'm glad you liked the article, I was surprised as well. There are some beautiful images on google, the craftsmanship that went into them past and present is very extraordinary

I wonder if the ornateness of the mask itself lead to anyone being able to tell if someone was more wealthy ... hmm, that's something else to read about
