Just Some Masquerade Party Essentials

You know those scenes in <em>Eyes Wide Shut</em>. Yeah... those scenes. Well, should you ever find yourself planning such a spirited social gathering (say, around Halloween), here’s everything you’d need to make sure your masquerade party goes off without a hitch. Well, everything except 27 willing participants.

RISQUÉ LEVEL: 1

It’s Not a Masquerade Without Masks

You Require: Something handsome that’ll conceal your identity. Because, you know, anonymity is probably your friend here.
You’ll Receive: This gilded Venetian mask that was handcrafted in... Venice. It’s made of gold. And crystals. And it’s the opposite of subtle.

RISQUÉ LEVEL: 2

The Only Time It’s Okay to Wear a Cape

You Require: Velvet. Anything velvet.
You’ll Receive: This black hooded cape. It’s the kind you’d wear to a mysterious dinner party at an eccentric billionaire’s estate. And never out in public.

RISQUÉ LEVEL: 3

A Ridiculously Ornate Punch Bowl

You Require: An appropriately elaborate drinking vessel from which your guests can become even more comfortable than they already are.
You’ll Receive: This antique sterling silver English punch bowl. It comes with two sets of cups: one for eggnog, one for rum punch. Or sure, frozen margaritas work, too.

RISQUÉ LEVEL: 4

Candles. Don’t Forget the Candles.

You Require: Mood lighting. And some more decor to match your elaborate punch bowl.
You’ll Receive: This vintage, silver-plated candelabra. It was made in 1940 by a century-old silversmithing firm in New York City. So... there’s something to start a conversation with.

RISQUÉ LEVEL: CAGE

So This Should Turn Things Up a Notch...

You Require: A human cage. Don’t ask why. Don’t suggest for whom. Just know that a masquerade without human cages is basically just a costume party.
You’ll Receive: A custom-made and (presumably) regulation-size aluminum cage from the friendly cage artisans at HumanCages.com. Yep, we’ve reached the end of the Internet.
