Cool Costumes, Masquerade Masks, Face Paint and Fancy Dress
Halloween, Mardi Gras and New Year masquerade balls and parties are the perfect occasions to wear a costume or a fancy mask. Many folks wear fancy dress and historic costume or a mask or face paint for holidays, sporting events or parades. Theme parties, masquerade costume balls, and historic re-enactment events offer plenty of opportunities to dress in costume or wear a mask.
Masquerade and costume parties are popular with adults, teens and children - even pets can wear costumes these days. You can immerse yourself in history or a holiday by wearing a mask or costumes or taking part in re-enactment events where you dress in character. You can also wear costumes for cos-play, masquerade parties, conventions and parades.

I Love Masquerade and Fancy Dress
Do you lust for scaring the willikers out of the neighbors, long to break out of your work-a-day conservative style, or perhaps secretly desire to become a mysterious exotic guest behind an elaborate mask? Or, you just want to express your artist/fairy/Goth/manga side once in awhile with all-out CosPlay.
Venetian Nights Masquerade Mask
Go for it! Let yourself go and experiment with fantasy a bit - all it takes is a fabulous costume or really cool mask! You can even deck yourself out in wacky party lights. If you don't want to wear makeup or a mask, you can make a mask on a stick (fan mask). Personally, I like to dress up for no reason at all - the child in me loves wearing unique costumes and I collect masks of all types. Mardi Gras Costumes are great for many costume occasions including Fat Tuesday parties and parades.
One costume shop online where I've found Costume Makeup and & Accessories at discounted prices is CostumeDiscounters.com.

Make a Mask in Minutes
Recycled Album Cover Mask
Give New Meaning to the Phrase #1 Fan
You can make a fast and fabulous stick mask (or is it a fan?) from old record album slip cases. If you've got a collection of vinyl 33rpm records sitting in the garage waiting for the tag sale, drag them out and make the slip cases into fan masks.
All you need to make this recycle craft mask is an album cover with a large portrait of your favorite musical artist, a bit of glue or duct tape, and a wooden paint-stirring stick or ruler.
