At Home at Home Masquerade Ball

No, no, it actually was at home at home, not just at home. You might have assumed that something called At Home at Home Masquerade Ball was (1) a masquerade ball (you’re so smart) and (2) most likely organized by the Redundancy Society of Repeating Redundancy. The evening was in fact organized by the social representatives at the Combined Catholic College and was a planned evening of Venetian mysteriousness and masked fun…held at home.


Everyone got dressed up in their finest attire, I adorning a nice sport coat and slacks, completed with a gold, silver and black mask and slicked over hair (without curly hair I am invisible!). Dinner was served to us at round tables set in a clearing marked by tiki torches and flamboyant, over-sized purple and silver balloons. Elegantly draped white lights were woven above us connecting the trees in a spectacle of ivory glow that illuminated our masquerade festivities. Just like the original Venetian party goers, we had a “nice” dinner served by the kitchen staff, an open bar (clutch), DJ, and dance floor…classic Venetian, no?

The night was an absolute blast. It was so fun to see everybody dressed up and having such a good time.
