Masked Ball
I am proud that after many years of putting together the glitzy and fabulous extravaganza that is the Wig Party that the team and I have managed to rustle up another creative knockout diary date called the Masked Ball. The idea was to add another annual charity "dressing up" event where we could once more raise money for a great cause.
The Masked Ball is a simpler affair where the music takes priority whilst at the same time still allowing people the opportunity to be daring but this time in disguise. Who really is behind the mask?
This forthcoming Masked Ball is our Halloween Special - Day of the Dead, as we actually use it to advocate the Celebration of Life. This spectacular annual event where all proceeds are donated to our chosen charity, NAT (National AIDS Trust) is on Sunday 27th October. Make sure you grab a ticket dead quick as it is easily foreseen this spooky and deviously naughty event will most definitely sell out in advance.

From our press release:
Party chairman and chief organiser, Josh Rafter, said: “The ball is a more low key version of The Wig Party but with the same incredible party vibe but more music and performance, the catwalk disappears so there is more room to dance and get on down. People can still come along for a great night out, supporting a great cause, just without a full-on costume. It’s a great way to hang out with your mates and meet new people – and when you don’t know who’s behind all those masks it gets really exciting! We will be revealing some celebrity supporters very soon. Last year’s ball was massively successful so get your tickets as soon as they go on sale!”
Deborah Jack, chief executive of NAT, said: “We’re very excited to be working with the Wig Party again. The event really will be a celebration of life. At NAT we work hard to ensure people with HIV can live their lives to the fullest – that they aren’t held back by discriminatory laws or affected by ignorance and stigma, that they have the support they need to continue to work, stay healthy and know their rights. We are very grateful that this event will help us to continue to campaign on these issues – shaping attitudes, challenging injustice and changing lives.”

Look out for the celebrity behind the mask!
We are approaching and have had a mass of interest for this years event from those rather well known people more often referred to as celebrities. Perhaps the allure of hiding behind a mask is just too good an opportunity not to support such a worthwhile cause. We are asking them (very nicely) to done a mask and to reveal a secret indulgence of theirs - a bit like I have cheekily done here in this very quick mock up! It will up to the public to guess who is behind the mask!
Whatever your background I would love to see you all there dressed in your chosen mask for this annual decadent event. Remember the date - Sunday 27th October
It's going to be Dead Good
Yours faithfully
Joshua Rafter
Managing Director of Outlet, Chairman of Wig Party
