Mlle Belle recently received an invitation to a Superhero Party.  Inside the invitation was a ticket stub and a plain black mask with a little bag of embellishments.  The guests were instructed to create their own masks and come as a known Superhero or as their own superhero figure.  Such a fun idea.
