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. ♥
