friday fun fact:masks of Carnevale di Venezia

tomorrow 

i am 

going to venice

for carnevale!

this is my birthday gift to myself

i am so excited

in honor of

carnevale

and

friday fun fact

i decided 

to dedicate 

this friday

to the masks

of 

carnevale

i found 

a few different types of masks

via 

google and wikipedia

first 

the bauta

it is a full faced mask

and 

historically was used

during political events

when citizens

were suppose to be

anonymous 

like voting

a prettier bauta

the second mask i found

is

moretta

the moretta

is an oval mask of black velvet

worn by women 

when they visit convents

the french invented the mask

and the italians

made it look more feminine 

i like the italian spin on it!

and finally

the 

columbina mask

my favorite!

 tomorrow

i will spend a day

amid a millions of masked people

and 

as creepy as it sounds

i will be loving every minute of it!
