Intro
Mysterious and Whimsical event is taking place and you’re invited, so get fitted for your gowns and suits, grab your masks or eye shadow and join. We are celebrating 5,000 recommendations, 5,000 posts and the birthday of me - Hollowness on July 17th. After putting away the wrench and screw driver, after inventing with steam and electricity and after drafting architectural designs; I like to dress up and treat myself to elegances and indulgence.
May it be mysterious, whimsical, colorful or dark; big hair or gowns and lots of make up or accessories are a must! Dress for a Venetian masquerade, Carnivale, Mardi Gras or an elegant ball. Gothic, Rococo, fantasy or Halloween themes all welcome. Come dress up and join the party!

-- information for our WINNERS --
(please read THIS SECTION if you win a prize -- thanks so much!!)
- You will have roughly one day to report your gifting wishes.
- I would like all gifting instructions to be posted no later than noon (EST) on Saturday. Thanks, lovely-doves!
- I will have three days to gift (after the gifting instruction deadline). Therefore, gifting will be completed by Tuesday afternoon.
- I may not begin gifting until the gifting deadline closes -- it just depends on how things go.
- I will gift from your WL if I do not receive gifting instructions. (Don't worry -- I try to be thoughtful in my choices!)
- If you don't post gifting instructions AND you have insufficient items in your own WL, I will gift what I can, and you will forfeit the remainder of your prize. (But I desperately HOPE this doesn't happen, sunshine!!)
- You MUST provide WL links for any recipients, please. It helps me avoid getting lost. ((chuckles))
- Item names AND numbers (from the corresponding WL) are needed ONLY if you request specific items. It helps me avoid unfortunate mistakes, that would otherwise make me cry.
- If you don't know how to post links, just let me know, sweetie. I will help you!! ((hugs))
- Sometimes items disappear from WLs before I get there. Unfortunately, this cannot be helped. I will make substitutions of equal (or slightly greater) value, when possible and reasonable. I will be mindful and thoughtful when doing so -- because i REALLY want you and your friends to LOVE their gifts!!
A FINAL NOTE:
Life is.. well, life! And it sometimes chooses NOT to co-operate. :P Things happen, families have emergencies, people become ill, Liam is a booger and he wreaks havoc on the GG frequently. Therefore, these general guidelines may change, if an urgent situation arises. But I very much doubt it will -- so rest easy and have FUN, little loves!!
(The prize amount will NOT change regardless of emergency!! It is BANKED in my account, even as I type.)
-- the info in this section may be updated throughout the week, as needed --
People can be nominated 5 times at the most
Please do NOT nominate the people in this post!
