Faerieworlds: celebrate the biggest american faery gathering

Celebrating Summer celebration Faerieworlds is one of the biggest and more well known faery gathering events in the United States. Being held in a natural environment of Eugene, Oregon, it has a tribal and almost hippy feeling into it. Featuring a selection of bands and concerts (unfortunately i'm not attending myself as performer or artist  this year but I highly recommend it), illustrators, artists and all sorts of vendors as well as a great participation of public all dressed up in their best fantasy garments... Another good event so you can showcase your best looks! Have fun and join your hands in a spiral dance with a wealth of fantasy lovers!

Venetian Masks: The Masquerade

The venetian masks always cause a double impact. The first time I saw the movie "Into the labyrinth" I was fascinated by the Masquerade Ball scene where Jareth (see previous article about Labyrinth's goblin king)  and Sarah dances. It all had a magical,  elegant yet slightly decadent  look. There's something in the venetian masks that fascinates us and also can awake a slight sense of horror too. The Carnival of Venice  o Carnevale di Venezia ( read wikipedia article for in detail historic information) will take place next February in Venice (Italy) but throughout the year the masks and its symbolism have become part of every masquerade ball and fantasy party and meetings.
