OCT 15: EVENT REVIEW: Big Brothers Big Sisters Masquerade Ball
by Don Rose
(LOS ANGELES, CA: Oct. 15, 2004) Big Brothers Big Sisters of L.A. threw a Masquerade Ball tonight that truly was a ball. The Petersen Automotive Museum was the setting for this unique, exotic, and enjoyable fundraising event. The enchanted evening featured masquerade costume attire (many creative masks, wigs and costumes could be seen, my fave being a woman with Bride-Of-Frankenstein hair colored red and yellow), high roller casino (Craps, Black Jack, Roulette), fortune tellers, a hip DJ, dancing, extravagant eats (mostly healthy too, a nice touch), luscious libations, and many wonderful prizes (casino winnings turned into raffle tickets that could win you prizes including DVDs, DVD box sets, a blimp ride, a celeb-autographed skateboard, signed TV scripts, and more).
For more information on how you can sponsor or attend the 2005 gala, contact Monica Lee at (323) 904-4400. To learn more about the organization, please visit http://www.bigbrothersbigsisterslaie.org .
