I went to the Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball last night and really enjoyed it!
I went in my Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Belle yellow ballgown (Broadway style). I actually hadn’t had a chance to wear this other than the photoshoot I did with my friend Annie over a year ago, so it was really fun to wear it in such a perfect venue. It seemed like a particularly good costume year which is my favorite part. I just love walking around and looking at everyones’ gorgeous costumes. I had a nutella and banana crepe at midnight. There were wonderful performances on multiple stages. A ton of my friends went, too, so I had a lovely time on all accounts.
There were actually at least 4 or 5 gorgeous versions of Belle there that evening! I was thrilled! (Me on the far right.) The Belle on the far left had met Susan Egan (the original Broadway Belle actress and the voice of Megara) so we had a fun conversation! The girl second from the left is the lovely “Evening Arwen” in her Once Upon a Time Belle. She’s also made an awesome Once Rumplestiltskin.
My friend Michelle in her gorgeous Rococo Chibi Moon (from Sailor Moon) costume! She made the dress and wig! She modified a Baby, the Stars Shine Bright choker and added a Kumacraft Sailor Moon necklace. SO PRETTY.
Another gorgeous Sailor Moon costume! Katie Mitchell (left) as Princess Serenity.
My friends Sheyne and Glenn and their friends came in a group as “Rococo Punk” which I think is just a fabulously fun idea. I wish I’d had time to do a Rococo Punk jacket and join them! Yum!
Me and Claire Hummel in her Rococo Punk! I love Claire’s art. She did those charming Historical Disney Princesses!
I LOVE these lovely Rococo Punk ladies! The one on the left had marvelously intentionally unfinished hems and edges.

Oh my gosh! It’s a Claudia from Interview with a Vampire! She was having a blast!

This guy was really excited that I knew he was Quetzalcoatl. 🙂

My photo does not do this couple justice.
My friend Glenn in his Rococo Punk and his friend with a hookah! Glenn looks so dramatic in this photo, but really he’s a perfect gentleman who walked me to my car so I wouldn’t feel nervous walking alone at 2 am in giant ballgown. 🙂
My friend Chantal in her beautiful 18th century gown!
A giant dragonhead on the main stage!
That seems like such a fun event, thank you for posting this photo report it was great to see all those beautiful costumes!
It’s the first time I hear about Rococo punk, I find it a really interesting twist on rococo style which I love already 🙂
Rococo Punk is a relatively new invention. <3
So jealous you got to attend, everyone looks great! I love your Belle dress 🙂
Thankyou! 🙂
So weird/funny to see friends of mine in these photos! Claire, Kate and Andrew (the rocco punk dude with the mohawk) always have made such fun costumes!!
Very cool! I really love their costumes!
I’m so jealous! I just found out about this masquerade last year, and I so wanted to go but it just wasn’t feasible :o( Maybe next year…
Plan ahead and try this next year! 🙂
