Masque Boutique

I have searched the net for masquerade mask websites that would fulfil the needs of fans expectations for our themed charity party, and Masque Boutique is by far the best site I have come across displaying lots of lovely pictures of their beautifully designed creations. The amount of photo's show that the maker is experienced by providing a variety of designs to choose from. So deciding which site to use for such a special event wasn't difficult at all and its quite clear that Tanith puts much love and dedication go into her work as much as we are putting into organising this party. The best thing is that fans can put forward their own design idea's and have them as elaborate or as plain as they like, or they can send a photo of their outfit in and Tanith will do her best to design a mask that would compliment it. Debbie Cox has already received hers as she was so eager to get her hands on one. We asked her a few questions which may help with your decisions to order from Masque Boutique.

Without giving too much away, can you explain what your mask is like? Its red and glittery with a black ostrich feather and black flower on the left, it has a ribbon to hold it on and its a soft mask. It is far more beautiful than expected and my work colleagues have also commented on how beautiful it is.

How was the service you received? Tanith was very helpful in helping me to choose what I wanted, there were options to have a soft or hard mask, colours and whether to have a stick or ribbon to hold it on with. I did most of the ordering via email with very quick replies, friendly service and I think I had my mask within about a week after deciding what I wanted.

How helpful did you find the details on the website? Good website - my mask was adapted from one I found on the website, there was lots of choice and Tanith can make any mask to your description, I also thought the price was quite reasonable.

Check out the website and start thinking about what mask you want!

Red Masquerade Charity Party 2011

Everyone had such a great time at last years party; we just couldn't deny people the chance to to it again and for those of you to attend who were unable to make it last time. If you are considering attending but not entirely sure what to expect then you can check out a previous blog written shortly after last years party. Its a great way to meet new fans and celebrate Stephen's life as well as raise lots of money for the charity that was close to him 'Caudwell Children'.

This years Theme is going to be a Red Masquerade party where guests are expected to wear masquerade masks. Its also red so your mask can be all red, feature red or if your outfit has a lot of red in it already you may choose to have a completely different colour mask. For those stuck on where to buy the ideal mask check out http://www.masqueboutique.co.uk/ Photo's of the masks can be viewed on facebook as well as the website http://www.facebook.com/pages/Masque-Boutique/128162090530376?ref=ts

The lovely Tanith who makes all the amazing masks on this website has agreed to offer fans a discount of 10% with a further 10% of each purchase going straight to Caudwell Children. She can make to order and has masks to suit any budget (check the Stephen Gately Message board for more details).

if you want to know more about the party please go to the Stephen Gately Official Message Board http://stephengately99401.yuku.com/topic/2677/Charity-Party-2011 For contact details and regular updates.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Fan Tour Tribute

So, we have entered February on a high knowing that our first Boyzone concert of the tour is just around the corner. But, there will always be one thing at the back of our minds and that's how we will react when we are faced with the moment when the boyz step out onto the stage in an arena without our Duracell bunny, Stephen. It will be emotional but the support we show for each of the boyz will give us something to focus on and get us and them through it. I'm sure everyone on this tour are going to be extra loud :)

Now I know many of us including myself will either be wearing red or Superman t-shirts as a tribute to Stephen on the tour. It would be lovely to see as many people as possible taking part in this. If you can't find superman t-shirts in a shop, you can get custom ones made online or at your local t-shirt printing shop. Another suggestion is that you buy transfer paper for your printer and make the t-shirt yourself. Either way there are a few options that will work well and look good.

My final words to everyone would be to have a fantastic time and make some memories
