Don't hide behind that mask!

From the lens Masquerade Costumes and Masks.

Do you make masks or costumes for yourself or your friends and family? What's your favorite occasion or reason (excuse) to dress in a costume or to wear a mask?

    Awesome lens!! I love dressing up for parties, and masquerades are awesome!! If I was invited to a masquerade, I would definitely paint my face in a mask.

    I love the Melon Helmet... too funny. You see them at football games quite often and they're usually quite intoxicated.

    Carved Melon is the best helmet ever lol

    Wow, you have some really great ideas for costumes! I must admit though, some are a little too scary for my tastes! I think I'll stick with the cute and innocent ones instead of the horror outfits!

    Great lens! We love to dress in costume and don't need a special event. We travel with at least a costume or two, just in case we happen upon an event or festival. We want to be prepared to participate!

    Fun Lens with a great selection of Halloween merchandise.....love it all! Can't believe there are baby vampire costumes....how scary! Although I remember a few nights of no sleep that I wondered about my babies true identities. LOL.

    Wow, that leopard face makeup is pretty cool and would be great for the contest locally for Jaguars' fans! I also love that elaborate wig. I'm thinking about a really different costume.
