The Masquerade Ball with Christian Pineiro & Donovan
A NEW SEXY SAN FRANCISCO TRADITION
Please
join us for what is sure to become San Francisco's sexiest annual
tradition: San Francisco's 1st Annual "THE MASQUERADE BALL: A Sexy
Mardi Gras & Venetian Carnival Affair" will be hosted at the city's
most enchanting atmosphere restaurant ANA MANDARA in Ghirardelli
Squarev. VENETIAN MASKS REQUESTED
This is a Venetian "mask" party, in the spirit of both Mardi Gras in
New Orleans and Carnival of Venice that are both celebrated before Ash
Wednesday. Back in 1292, the original purpose of the Carnival of Venice
was to serve as an excuse for people of different social classes to
mingle and indulge in behaviors that might be otherwise deemed
questionable, if not downright salacious. The custom of wearing masks
developed to protect the identity of the Carnival participants and
empowering them anonymous freedom to partake in their most intimate of
fantasies and desires.
The point
of THE MASQUERADE BALL is to provide a sexy evening of 'mystique' &
'playfulness' for you and your friends to experience the freedom of
anonymity behind the mask, leaving your inhibitions behind, and setting
your wildest fantasies free.
You can either purchase your own
elaborate & unique Venetian sytle masquerade mask or you can simply
receive a free masquerade mask we will be providing at the door which
patrons will be required to wear inside the event.
We
strongly encourage you to purchase your own masks so you "stand out"
from everyone else. There are plenty of wonderful costume shops on
Haight Street in San Francisco that sell a wide assortment of Venetian
masks for very economical prices ($10-$25). VENETIAN MASK ONLINE RETAILERS
We will be offering a special contest prize for "BEST MASK OF THE NIGHT"
for those of you attend the event with your own Venetian mask. MARDI GRAS BEADS & CONTEST
We will also be giving out free Mardis Gras beads at the door.
You are encouraged to wear your own beads as well;
however, there will be a contest prize for "MOST BEADS OF THE NIGHT"
based on the number of "official event" beads someone is wearing at the end of the night.
