Masquerade Ball

         

I dont know if I will have time to add an entry tomorrow, so I am adding my Halloween entry today.

My children will tell you that the holiday they remember most from their childhood is Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday, because we always liked to dress up and scare the kids that came trick or treating for Halloween goodies. Halloween was my favorite time of year to chaparone at the school dance. Halloween was my favorite time of year to visit the ghetto and see how people decorated their houses. There were "stuffed people" in people's ordinary clothes sitting at picnic tables with beer cans, sitting on chairs on the porch or riding motorcycles. These houses were more fun to look at than houses that were decorated for Christmas.

I dont know if AOL is having a Masquerade Ball this year. Please forgive me for being so wrapped up in my own problems that I havent noticed what has been happening around me! Was it last year that I went to the ball dressed as Marilyn Monroe or was it in 2003?!

Anyways, I love online balls and activities, because online, you can look as skinny as you want, and at tonight's ball, I am a vision of curvacious slimness.

I arrive in a limosine that my friend Herman Monster let me borrow for the night, as Lurch puts out his white gloved hand to help me out of the limo.

Tonight, I am dressed as Medussa with snakes coming out of my headress and my hair and my makeup is flawless. I am wearing a white Grecian gown, gold sandals, and carrying a large archery bow on one shoulder and a sack full of golden arrows on my back. True to life, there is no mistake that this picture of Medussa has a beauty mark at exactly the same place as mine.

Yes, I am Medussa, but only the men who have broken my heart or the men who have the potential to break my heart will turn to stone when they look at me. This will make it easier for me to know which men are sincere and which men have a greater chance of winning my heart.

At last, our eyes meet, and he takes me into his arms to dance a waltz. In the arms of my love, I'm flying over mountains and hills and plains. One kiss and the snakes from my headress and hair disappear. The enchantment of the night transforms me into the real me, and I am shocked to see that the beautiful person within myself has broken out of the Glass Box. With a poof of smoke, I am magically dressed as a Princess,

 and then, he lifts up my face with the touch of his hand and he gently strokes my cheek with the back of his hand. He looks deeply into my eyes, and then he says, "You have and will always be a Princess to me." He lowers his hand onto the small of my back and he pulls me firmly towards him. Suddenly and without warning, the powerful white-winged Pegasus sweeps us both up, and we fly away to our magical new castle in the sky.

What a vivid imagination! If only real life could be that grand.

Thanks for stopping by,
