"In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats"
My kitty cat mask came from Leather Artworks
and it's so well crafted, especially considering it's made of
leather, and it has two little swarovski crystals at each side which is a ncie touch.
I really don't know why I enjoy putting on masks so much, perhaps it was because I never got to go out 'guising' very much when I was a kid. The times I did go I was a witch every time - I wouldn't have it any other way - but when the Queen Mum crudely fashioned me a witch costume from a black bin liner I knew this halloween malarky wasn't fulfilling my dressing up needs. So I had to take matters into my own hands and cultivate a fine collection of dressing up attire.
But, whatever the reason, there is a undeniable pleasure to be gained from putting on a mask. There could be a chance for a deeper exploration available there I suppose but let's not.
I already have my eye on another one which is also leather, from a different seller, but has horns rather than ears. Yes, I think I shall be answering the door to the postie each day wearing a different mask.

That mask is beyond beautiful - the finishing is just perfect. The first thing I'm going to do after I graduate is learn how to mould leather!

The mask!! I have always liked masks but it was only recently that I fell super in love with them.

Hello Kitty! Great mask.
You should read a story by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son -although he does not advertise the family relation) "The mask of my father". Very interesting, some haunting masks and images, slightly disturbing...

Omg.
I love this.
I am going to order one NOW.
Obsessed with cat women and have a small selection of cat ears but nothing as amazing as this.
I've been considering a horse tail too.
Saw Alison from Goldfrapp wearing one AGES ago and was like 'yup thats for me' but never found a good one.... gonna keep looking!
