D= so i bought my mask and its true i realy cant wear my mask with the cresent moon on my forhead... if only i had a decretive stick to put the mask on D: poo for being poor

A mask on a stick is acceptable, but keep in mind that you will have to wear the mask the entire time you are in the ballroom, so you arm may get tired. You can always step out, and if there is not a huge line waiting, get back in, but you will have to wear the mask.

It said mask, I didn't know Eye Patch was a "mask"

An eye patch is not a mask. True, you can do a mask only around one eye, but you are going to have to be a bit more creative that just an eye patch.

Also, you need to make sure that whatever you do, it does not impair your vision.. you will be dancing.

i remember last year that they wernt so "on top of it" (cant hink of a better word) i saw many people strip off thier masks and stay that way all night

Omg...that was horrible! I didn't have a mask but I had my friend's Matt goggles and I had to wear them the entire time! They were super hot to wear because of the stuff on the inside and it always left red lines on my face! But every time I slipped it off just to wipe some sweat away some person came up to me and said that I either had to keep it on or leave! Dx

It wasn't completely enforced last year because there was some question of the dress code not being announced enough for people. Which is why it's on the website, being pushed in the forums, and in the con book this year. If all goes well, I will also have a sign outside the dance

We are really trying to enforce it this year. There are two other dances which are informal.. for 2 hours people can be a bit more formal.

You could try to make something like the style of an eyepatch, so that it is over one eye, but more intricate looking.

xD ok can't wait to see it though

doryishness · « **Reply #366 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:21:32 pm »

what kind of masks are you all doing? I bought this really nice fancy mask at last SakuraCon but it doesn't fit with my dress this K-Con.

So I bought some cheap eye-covering wigs at Micheals and plan to dump a load of glitter on them and then take a glitter glue pen and make some designs.

But I've seen very extravagant types of masks at previous masqurades too.

So what is everyone doing?

Romo · « **Reply #367 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:23:57 pm »

@dory

You might want to look through all the previous pages of this thread. Since that's what we've been talking about this whole time and it'd be a bit redundant for us to all repost what we're doing. xD;;;

doryishness · « **Reply #368 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:34:48 pm »

maww, looking through all the masks and costuemes/dresses, I must say, you all look very nice! I'll have to post a picture of my mask and dress once I'm done with them. ^^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #369 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:45:54 pm »

I've never had to realyl dress formally for this; My cosplays were all good enough. xD

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #370 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:47:24 pm »

Well, cosplay does count. I got in without formal wear last year because I was in cosplay.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #371 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:51:20 pm »

My mask is pretty and purple with glitter glue and feathers and gem things! <3

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #372 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:22:38 pm »

I think I know what I'm gonna do for my mask, not to sure if it will work though, I'll post a pic, for an opionion before i go and do it...

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #373 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:24:49 pm »

>.> i got weird looks last year... might have been the fact that i was thief rikku... or the bright yellow wig..

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #374 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:49:49 pm »

Would This Count as a mask?

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #375 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:50:48 pm »

That would get VERY hot VERY quickly. Just fyi.

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #376 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:52:18 pm »

I know, but I'm really low on funds, and options..

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #377 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:54:02 pm »

Last year they gave out a limited amount of plain white masks. But you got to ask for one before they're all gone. Lol.

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #378 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:55:01 pm »

thing is i wear glasses and the masks wont fit over or under with this i can wear my glasses under the mask...

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #379 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:57:40 pm »

Huh, that is a problem...>3<

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #380 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:59:00 pm »

You could make something out of foam or something that attaches to your glasses? So that your glasses are PART of your mask.

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #381 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:59:42 pm »

I dont really have the funds for that, but I can kinda see without them...

doryishness · « **Reply #382 on:** August 31, 2009, 06:43:13 pm »

Their 79 cents at Micheals. I'm sure you can find that around the house. I got a package of three for 1.49

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #383 on:** August 31, 2009, 07:06:44 pm »

I got foam at the dollar store, it came in this pack of like 20 sheets.

Doing Akane's Juliet dress, with my boyfriend in Ranma's Romeo --> http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1719520/
Need to finish my hat and hair fall and see if I can add the rest of the designs around his collar.
I've got an idea how I'd like to do our masks, but not sure I can do it properly with the sewing I've got left. If I can do the prep work on them before we leave I can finish some of the detail stuff Saturday night.

How much are they enforcing a dress code? I didn't feel like going last year because it just seemed like another dance.

doryishness · « **Reply #385 on:** August 31, 2009, 07:45:24 pm »

look's great! How many more hours do you think you'll need?

and they mentioned earlier that they would be cracking down on it this year. Personally, I think it's just on the dance floor. I was at one of the tables in the back last year with my mask off and they didn't say anything.

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #386 on:** August 31, 2009, 07:47:08 pm »

I'd rather not test that..... >.> I kinda wanna stay in the dance

They are going to be watching a lot more closely this year, and that's not true. They expect you to keep your masks on at all times during the Masquerade portion of the dance, whether you're sitting around or dancing doesn't matter. Just thought I'd repeat what I'd heard.~

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #388 on:** August 31, 2009, 08:51:07 pm »

i remember the hunk cosplayer i dancd with last year would retreat to the back corner of the tables so he could remove his helmet... i dont recall him getting yelled at but i didnt realy hang out with them

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #389 on:** August 31, 2009, 08:52:40 pm »

I am most likly going as mori to this

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #390 on:** August 31, 2009, 09:29:00 pm »

so a fairly cheap mask at micheals, ok...

makichan · « **Reply #391 on:** August 31, 2009, 09:47:24 pm »

I remember last year I was the only one out of my friends to bring a mask so I triple-folded some newspaper and cut out three masks within a minute and taped it on each of their noses so that the staff would let them in. Most hilarious thing ever.
They let us all in btw XD

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #392 on:** August 31, 2009, 10:37:59 pm »

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #395 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:07:41 pm »

What I did is I went and bought little bottles of glitter glue and made little designs on it. I bought the colors that matched what we were wearing

Depends on what else you're wearing - cosplaying a character? Add something that'll relate to them. Anything else, I'd look google "masquerade masks" and see what type strikes me as the coolest/most-mysterious~

Ah, and my costume has a built-in mask, so whoot~

But I will add some dressy-elements, so it fits in better. Observe my scribbly-scribble!
