On the ball

Get your mask ready: it’s time to par­ty qua­si-anony­mous­ly with friends and strangers at a Venet­ian Mas­quer­ade Ball. Cham­pagne! Chan­de­liers! Canapes! Cleav­age! (if the poster is any­thing to go by)

Ballo di Sciocco poster

State­ly Drans­field House in upper Willis Street will play the gra­cious host for “Bal­lo di Scioc­co” on the 31st of March. The venue and the imagery may me old-fash­ioned, but the ball itself must be Gen­er­a­tion Next, since it has a myspace page. Look­ing at the organ­is­ers’ page and list of friends, I get the feel­ing this will be no ordi­nary ball.

Tick­ets $120 from Mad­mat on 027 290 3591.
