What do guys wear for Masquerade balls?

Check out Venetian masks, the Harlequin ones are pretty cool (well as far as masks go) or the ones with the comedy noses always get a laugh.

The "long nose" mask was introduced in the 16th century by a doctor who thought it would prevent him getting the plague, I think it's known as the Medico della Peste - don't wear it!

Originally, the point was for people to relax in (partial) anonymity and behave in a manner that would be at least mildly scandalous otherwise.

Nowadays, in our society, it's very redundant.

I can't think why anybody would want to attend one, though. Are they fun?

If you're based in London there's a fantastic shop in Camden that will give you very high quality Venetian ball masques. It's just near Gilgamesh in the Stables. I still have mine sitting here near the altar.
 
Wear a Gorilla suit, run around groping all the women, swap it with your mate before the Police arrive.
