Dark Masquerade pictures

[strange_complex]

I've now uploaded all of my ball pictures into my LJ scrapbook. There are three pages worth, they're visible to everyone, and you can see larger versions of them by clicking on each thumbnail.

I was going to post a few of my favourites in this entry too, but they are so HUMONGOUS that, even under cuts, they would just be obnoxious. So instead, the captions below link to the medium-sized versions of them visible in the gallery:

Some of the Oxgoths contingent: Andy, violetdisregard, Cat and edling

La Fleurissima

A beautiful eighteenth-century lady, who bears a strong resemblence to redkitty23

Double Helen joy

Huginn and Muninn attempt a beak kiss

King and Queen contest: mask fellatio

OMG kitten!!!

Sheer costume genius, both made by the young lady on the right (Megan)

King and Queen contest winners: Boy-on-Boy Action

When the world outside breaks in

For real photographic genius, though, and an excellent sense of what the night was like, I highly recommend visiting the collection of the official ball photographer, dylan.

Links to other collections will be edited in below as I come across them:

• morbidfrog's photographs
• vampyresheep's photographs
• countalabaster's photographs
• brenin_llwyd's photographs
• claire_wain's photographs

<-- pretty much what he said.

So, which (if any) are you? Hard to tell with all those masks!

I was Huginn, or Thought (http://pics.livejournal.com/purple_pen/pic/000076xe/g3).

Thanks! It originally looked like this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5460854819&indexURL=0&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting).

It will always remind me of the London whale now, as I spent a lot of time painting it last weekend while watching Sky News' live coverage of the dramatic whale rescure effort.

That's exactly what I was saying all night!
