Costume Party


Fantastic costume party in the Hague, to ring in the New Year!

Our pals Sander and Annemieke, dressed as Papegeno and Queen of the Night. Lovely people, and they are part of how Jurjen and I got together too.
Annemieke's boy Thomas was also masked. Very cool!
Trying to capture the general hubbub here, with all the fancy costumes. Jurjen and I were in evening wear, with eye masks that were cat-head-shaped, and as you see we were hopelessly outclassed.
Central here is one of our hosts, Jurjen's old friend Carl (and now also a piano-playin' buddy of mine).
Sander looks on as Aernout, another of our hosts and the future Baron van Pallandt, changes the dance music. We had everything from baroque to Prodigy.
Jurjen enjoying a fine cigar!
The bar was self-service but nice people like Jurjen would step in and pull drinks for a while.
The hair starts coming down as the evening goes on. "So, thinkest thou the Euro will make things easier anon?"
Yours truly, taking a break from the dance floor.
Yours truly, Queen of the Realm.
