Revealing Identities
Posted by whaleadmin in Fashion and Textiles on July 5th, 2009
It is interesting to think about the concept of a mask. They are usually created to hide behind. Whenever one thinks about wearing a masquerade mask to a party it usually had something and nothing to do with hiding. People usually wear these masks at the party to be able to hide their identities and their inhibitions are let loose a little. The irony is that while they are so busy hiding their identities they are really reveling something about themselves. The wearer tends to choose a mask that somehow matches the personality that they usually hide from the world. It is definitely worth giving a party like this a go. You may learn something about yourself. You may not even realize that there is this side of you that would like to be unleashed on the world but you are too afraid of getting in trouble.
