I went to my first Goblin Masquerade Ball this weekend!!! Thank you so much @anarchygirlscosplay for putting on this phenomenal event. This nerd’s dreams came true! I took my partner Jacky and my best friend Salem and we found two new friends in Bee (dressed as the worm!) and Talon. I also ran into my drag dad Madazon and my drag sibling Fae! I met Falln who I’ve admired their work for years, they are a fantastic Jareth! I made friends with the darling Fern @lynnaenelson1 and finally met in person @the_marvelous_zoetrope and she was an absolutely stunning Sarah! We had so much fun dancing the night away, and are in talks of further collaboration! 😉 Oh also I did start off the night with a mask on. I decided to pull a Jareth and enter the ball in disguise. I was in a black cloak and gold bird mask and when I went to present my tribute to the Unseelie Queen that’s when my cohorts (a tad haphazardly since we didn’t practice enough) ripped off my cloak and I unmasked myself. Making a callback to his disguise in the tunnels (and his possible other disguise in the ballroom scene as well, if you know, you know 🤫😜). It was really fun sneaking around for the first bit like the silly lil gremlin man I am. Too bad I didn’t get any pics of that bit. 😩 I remember finding out that people put on these balls based on the Labyrinth Masquerade scene but I didn’t know it would be something I’d get to experience at this point in my life. It was all I’d ever dreamed of and more. ✨🥰✨ I’m so grateful for the vibrantly artistic and, let’s be honest, pretty nerdy culture we have here in Utah. It was honestly so cool to go to a party where I know the majority of people around me have seen Labyrinth and love it! This night will go down as one of my all time favorites….. Even if I did injure myself pretty bad after dancing too wildly with the Joker and falling on my ass. 😂 But hey, that’s a risk I was willing to take when “dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.” Learned my lesson, I dance better in the “serious moonlight”. 😜 Thank you to the photographers of the night! @keyaroscuro @gc_photography @mloertscher #labyrinthmovie #jareththegoblinking #jarethcosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Coaijp2Sx54/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
