Such an incredibly creative title.
New Years 2009-2010 was spent in the house of some lovely friends of mine (the same couple who’s flat I lived in when I’d just moved out from my boyfriend’s place). They’ve just bought the house and it’s absolutely gorgeous.
The theme was The Phantom of the Opera, so everyone was in pretty dresses and/or suits, and of course sporting fancy masquerade masks. I made mine myself and I’m rather proud of it. 
As for clothing, I was excited to get another chance to wear my prom dress. 
Ended up being a tad overdressed since the other ladies were in pretty cocktail dresses. But hey, it’s new years.

The mask was made to suit the dress in terms of colours. I glued my fingers together quite a few times in the process of making it, but it was fun.
We had dinner, dancing, wine spilling incidents (I’m sorry ^^;), karate shots, golf in the garden, champagne during the countdown and much more.
The day after (or well, evening) I went into the city and had dinner with Cross and Q Nat and Roy (ahoy, WoW people) who were utterly charming. It’s always a bit interesting to meet internet friends IRL, and I rarely do, but I’m glad I did.
All in all, a very lovely time. ♥
Hello, there! I believe this is my first time visiting your site, and I must say, it’s bloody gorgeous. *_* The layout is absolutely brilliant! The striped/lace patterned background is just pristine. Lovely, lovely.
And oh, wow, what an amazing dress … And mask!
I myself make tutus and hairclips and bracelets most often, and it’s always so much fun. 
And it’s always such a nice feeling when everything’s all finished, it’s like you’ve accomplished something so important and satisfying, haha. At leats that’s how I feel, anyway! 
Anyhoo, I’m going to Favourite your site and be back again to read soon!
Bwehehe. 
Such wonderful compliments; thank you! ^___^
I love the feeling of accomplishing things as well ^^ It makes me feel a bit awesome, in fact.
Glad you had fun, and your outfit was adorable! :]
Happy belated new year ;) I love your outfit, looked like you walked straight out of a fairy tale :D I will be meeting up with a few i’net friends too, at a concert at the end of the month and I’m quite excited :)
Thanks for the lovely comments on my outfit! ^__^
I really appreciate it.
Åh vilket roligt tema! Klänningen ser jättefin ut och likaså masken.
Tack, tack ^__^
Your dress is so beautiful! You look great ^_^
Meeting new people from the internet is fun, just be careful!
Thank you very much ^___^
And yes, it can be fantastic, but it’s important to be careful no matter how lovely they might appear online. I haven’t been unlucky so far though.
