Masquerade Ball
Time to put on your dancing shoes, don your fancy frocks, and shake that booty! The annual Masquerade Ball has opened its doors to the public once more, and you can party non-stop until 11:59 on March 31st! The Masquerade forum will be closing at this time, so keep that in mind when preparing any contests, meet-and-greets or general ball shenanigans.
Oh, and remember, it's a masked ball, and so it might be a little...unclear, who people really are.
Migrating Masks has a range of wonderfully fancy new masks for you to try your hand at restocking! Remember that you need to be wearing a mask to participate in the Masquerade Ball (that includes both dancing AND posting in the special forums!) The owner, Olivette, has told us she's going to be closing her shop at the end of Masquerade this year, so she can rest for a bit and possibly take a round the world dirigible vacation, so grab the new masks while you can!
Of course, with all of the dancing you'll be doing comes a whole lot of trinkets. And we have  just the things for you to spend them on: the Steamworks Menagerie has be stocked fit to bursting with some gorgeous new clothing designs and other fun trinkets. And word has it more is on its way, later on in the event!
If you were more interested in creating a steamworks pet than collecting more clothing items - we have good news for you. The steamworks key has been lowered in price from 5000 trinkets to 2500!
And we can't forget the Libertine Lounge - unless we've had a bit too much to drink, that is. Spend your Lounge Trinkets on a delightful selection of fingerfoods and cocktails, with some being made from the fruits of our fabulous Ikumoradeekanox tree - truly one of the great gifts of Ziara!

I hate that you can't see usernames in the dance forums, it makes it really hard for those of us who are holding contests. Not to mention what if someone skips you in the "dance with the user above" threads? there's no way to contact or report them because you don't know who they are! You're making it easier for people to cheat/rip others off.

My fellow Howl's fans seem to have slipped slightly :P I do recall that Howl had an equally flamboyant purple jacket like the

Can the brown version of the 
finally be put on site... Before the line/year is retired ?
It's uploaded. The overlays were finally fixed. Why is that one still not buyable ?

Thank you for lowering the price of the key.
Has the 2010 and 2011 items been retired? Will they come back ever? I'm not sure I got everything I needed from those years :(

Oh! These are so cool! (although I am bummed about the mask shop closing. I'm never able to restock everything, so having it year round was a nice bonus) Are we ever going to be able to buy the 2009 Steamworks Menagerie items? or are they scattered around in the other years?

Ugh, stop giving me so many lounge trinkets! I don't need anything from the lounge >_<
If only the trinket 'convert' rate was 1:1.

This is why I love Subeta. I play many other similar sites, but no site is as frequent with its updates and news, its reworks and events. I may not love every item, but I love that I can expect something new to hear, see, fawn over, etc, and I'm never left hanging. Huzzah to the Masquerade! :D Let's dance on!

I don't know how many people noticed this, but in the 2010 Lounge stock, you can buy Steamworks Trinkets.
It costs 2 Lounge Trinkets, but at least it's something.

(And by face item I mean of course eyes/lips. Because of course masks go on the face. But that's not what I meant.)

@ staff people!
Will there be a second update of items in the Steamworks Menagerie or is this it? I loooooove what you've come out with so far, but not a single face item. >.< The damn thing is always stingy on face-items and I hate it because the art's so good. <.<

This is absolutely magnificent! I now regret making myself forum art ahead of time for the costume I THOUGHT I'd be wearing whilst in reality I will be changing into the Viscount set as fast as possible (kinda echoing the notion that there should be maskless versions of said hats as well, but for the purpose they were meant for they look adorable)
Actually what I like the most is that the pet masks (and tricorn hats though that might be just a coincidence) were suggested on the forums. :D I love how the staff here listens to player suggestions on items.

I...I think I'm afraid to look at all the new pretties. I never have enough Menagerie trinkets for everything I love. xD
I will, however, sort carefully through the Lounge stuff for possible gallery items. =3

I'm a bit confused - is there a reason the Libertine Lounge 2009 section only has one item, and there is no 2009 for the Steamwork Menagerie? o: Either way I'm super excited for the Masquerade, and am loving all the new items!!

LOVING THE ART :D
...I'm ok with the fact the event doesnt show names anymore (will prob make it harder on contest keepers, though), but I really wish the alerts would still come under the "Atebus Revolution Masquerade" category instead of "Other". D:

Some of these items are gorgeous but why is it that the prices for items keep going up while the events keep getting shorter? :|

So if Masq is ending at 31th March, that means no plot? :(
Because usually it ended at the beginning of April when there was a plot..
Anyway, the items are amazing! I hope we will some Dinos and Sharks wears, like the miniona and the plushies!!! :D

The Subeta Pet masks are very well done, the artist did a great job of capturing each pet in them. There isn't a one that I don't want.

Awesome!
I have to say that there isn't much, clothing wise, that I don't like this year. Apart from some of the full dresses (portraits) which are very lovely but aren't to my taste, I'm in love with the rest.
The only things I'm "slightly" (ie..not really, sorta, kinda), gutted about is the

I wish they didn't have the masks on them.
Subeta is really lacking in awesome hats.
Thank you guys though!

Umm... it is telling me 'invalid user' when I click on 'dance' to invite someone. ... Should I be doing something different? I'm wearing a mask, and I've refreshed to try again.

The vests, the masks, especially the ones that match the amazing portraits... I love it.
But most of all.
