Lost within the borders of chaos and light, nobles dance among the Fey while goblins wait with hungry eyes in the wings of their court. Some of the most amazing fantasy artists, costumers and special effect crews participate in bringing a diverse host of creatures and mythologies alive each year within the annual LOJ Fantasy Masquerade.</span></span><br /><br />I look forward to Labyrinth Ball every year! Here's a picture of me at LOJ 2010 dressed as Belle from Beauty And The Beast.

(Also, humor me for a second & check out those fabulous <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://wikimoon.org/index.php?title=Sailor_Neptune">Sailor Neptune</a> inspired heels I insisted on wearing!)<br /><br />The term <span style="font-style: italic;">masquerade</span> or <span style="font-style: italic;">masq</span> is used to describe costume craftsmanship & performance contests held at conventions for anime, fantasy, and science fiction. As a longtime anime fan & con attendee, it was surreal to experience the AX masquerade from a completely different perspective!<br /><br />Aside from co-hosting the masquerade, I also had the opportunity to <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay">cosplay</a> as Vanessa (human Ursula) from Disney's The Little Mermaid ~ the costume was a gift from my incredibly talented & creative friend <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://vani.deviantart.com/">Vani</a> and I absolutely adore it!
