the things we do for those we love

So, a very dear friend of mine has decided that she wants to have a masquerade ball for her 30th birthday. On November 19.

So, aside from the obvious irritation associated with her timing (how dare she be born this day! *stomps foot*), I have to throw together a fabulous outfit. Sigh.

Ideas?

Here's a list of famous women. Maybe you will find inspiration.

Hmmm ...

How about Lady Caroline deWinter, from the portrait at the top of the stairs?

I've heard Mr. de Winter say that this
is his favorite of all the paintings ...

mwahahahaha

(Okay, if you don't love the movie "Rebecca," then you can totally ignore this post LOL)

I had a moment of, "lolz what's november 19th??/" and thought about it... and thought about it... and thought abou--- FLAIL.

You are obviously a better friend than I, because my priorities tell me, "Screw everything else, man. To my dear friends, I'm sorry, but I'm going to be spending the first few hours of the day loudly flailing amongst a crowd of movie-goers."

When is the Masquerade? If it's later in the day on the 19th, well... *cough* you can always do what I'm planning: try and take the day off from work, go to the midnight premiere, crash during the day, and then go out at night?

As for costume ideas, my brain isn't in the right spot right now-- I've just seen a new trailer for DH1 and my mind can't stop fangirling. I keep wanting to scream out, "YOU COULD TOTALLY BE BELLATRIX/LUNA/FLEUR/ETC" in all caps and that's just not productive o.o
