I've seen news reports during Carnevale where people are dressed to the nine's!!! It's as if you're witnessing another period in history with all the opulence being worn.<br /><br /><b>Frizzy and Bird</b> - we haven't been able to afford one of those balls, so the faster we pay off our mortgage!! I would love to dress up and play the part. Heck you only live once and I say go for it! And about the info on the Dr's nose...I had no idea!! Thank you for sharing that.<br /><br /><b>Brad</b> - in Venice everything and anything is possible during Carnevale. Being that I know how to sew costumes, the only thing we need are the masks. I hope to tell everyone all about it one day.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486684.post-55242707669140067372010-06-04T04:54:30.363+02:002010-06-04T04:54:30.363+02:00Those are some really cool looking masks.

I just saw a movie with people wearing masks like the bottom one, but I didn't understand the significance until now.Brad Farlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631055865439844292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486684.post-55982099643780969032010-06-04T01:13:23.328+02:002010-06-04T01:13:23.328+02:00OH!
