Oh dear! There seems to have been something lost in translation from ENGLISH to English... I understood fancy dress to be black tie/formal, not a costume party. Now they'll be confusing me with the wait-staff all evening.

Erm...Bond, James Bond...yeah, that's it.

I, Like The View said...

actually, I do need help serving the drinks

but you could do that as James Bond, shaken and not stirred. . .

Masquerade! Paper faces on parade
Masquerade! Hide your face,
so the world will never find you!
Masquerade! Every face a different shade
Masquerade! Look around -
there's another mask behind you!
Flash of mauve . . .Splash of puce
Fool and king . . .Ghoul and goose
Green and black . .Queen and priest
Trace of rouge . .Face of beast
Faces . .Take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
Eye of gold . . .Thigh of blue
True is false . . .Who is who . .?
Curl of lip . . .Swirl of gown
Ace of hearts . . .Face of clown
Faces . . .Drink it in, drink it up
till you've drowned
in the light . . .in the sound
Masquerade! Grinning yellows,
spinning reds
Masquerade! Take your fill -
let the spectacle astound you!
Masquerade! Burning glances,
turning heads
Masquerade! Stop and stare
at the sea of smiles around you!
Masquerade! Seething shadows breathing lies . . .
Masquerade!
You can fool any friend who ever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs, peering eyes
Masquerade! Run and hide -
but a face will still pursue you!
What a night What a crowd!
Makes you glad! Makes you proud!
All the crème de la creme!
Watching us watching them!
And all our fears are in the past!
