Masquerade? That seems like an off theme for a meet n greet.
"Hi there Catwoman. Nice tail you have there. Have me met?"
"Who are you? No seriously, can you take off your Darth Vader head for a second?"
Ladies are going to get all done up only to disguise their identities?
Personal viewpoint only : this was better when it was low key, put together by locals who knew all the attendees, (instead of professional party planners who need new ideas like masquerade night because likely they get bored with the grind otherwise), and when the motive was more to network than it was motivated by profit.
Bring back Bond and Kate plz.
Ok, first, Bond and Kate are not coming back. We are both done. As to getting all dressed up, you don't have to get dressed up. It was never a requirement at any party I ever did close to Holloween. For the married guys, its a bit difficult to get dressed up for something like this. I know it is for me anyway. So, I will be attending in my normal street clothes. If it becomes a requirement, I sure won't be attending. I have attended in costume once at a party and it became a real pain for me. Typically, from what I have seen at my parties and others, the ladies that attend are very recognizable as are the guys. Its very rare the faces are "made up". Which is all that really matters. U are there to meet folks and connect. I would think it would be easier to do that if you have a clear face. But, thats just me.
I know the ladies that are currently putting on these parties. They are just trying to make the parties fun and they do a pretty good job. Heck, Harlowe co-hosted the last party I did. And btw, that was a costume party and it was very well attended. Some ladies got dressed up. Some gents did. Everyone still had a good time.
Give the ladies some credit. This isn't easy to do. If anyone knows that, I do.
