It's almost over.

The Venice masquerade ends tomorrow. I've been checking out the pics that people have been posting online for this years event. I have to say this year seems to be one of the off years - not as many dramatic costumes. And now there's a zombie walk - what's up with that?

I would like to go some day. It's a bucket-list thing. For when I'm rich and famous.

This is the GB, no one here REALLY cares about the fact that we're running out of money. They only care they didn't get some for themselves because of them damn (insert invective of choice here).

I prefer Venice over Rio. Somehow the imagery of scantily clad women shimmying to Samba music just doesn't have the same appeal as the masks and costumes of Venice. None of it is real. It's all paper mache, fabric, plastic, and feathers. Yet the artistry is amazing.

I tend to agree that the mystery is better than scanty. Boobs and butts ate readilly available for viewing anytime.
