Paper Faces on Parade

...Masquerade. Hide your face, and the world will never find you!

Ok I am a bit of a Phantom of the Opera fanatic. iPod shuffle on my walk to work is also to blame. What can a girl do...?

Skipped by this stool of Venetian masks outside one of my local brocantes (only in Paris... or Brighton) and thought I'd take a snap as it is topical for this weekend in two ways. Neither of which I am directly involved in, but wanted to share the love... (#yearabroader)

I have been updating my blipfoto this evening in my pjs in between eating bowls of porridge, and thinking about a few Durham pals at the Halfway Hall Ball tonight with a great timely theme of Masquerade. Additionally I am already very keen to hear asap of the exploits of two fellow dear linguists off to Venezia for some raunchy Carnevale behaviour. Think I'm in the wrong place tonight...
