My daughter is involved in a Rainbow for Girls installation. She needs to get some masks for the girls to wear. We tried to order through the local fabric store, but it looks like they are in the process of dropping the ball big time. So I tried to find some through the net. I can find all kinds of feather, fancy, sequined, Bill Clinton or some ahmm very interesting leather ones :D, but I can’t what I am looking for. I need Plain white half masks the type that covers from just over the eyebrows to the cheeks. I would perfer to get them out of plastic, but beggars and choosers. Can anyone point me in the correct direction? ---

Go to party shops. They seem to have that sort of thing, usually. ---

It sounds like you want domino masks. Check these out: [http://www.costumeholidayhouse.com/retail/12mask.htm](http://www.costumeholidayhouse.com/retail/12mask.htm) If those don’t suit your needs, a google on “domino masks” ought to turn up more. BTW, if you ever _do_ need leather masks, a guy named Van Lister makes fantastic ones for reasonable prices. He sells them on eBay sometimes, and he will do custom designs. He recently did some really spectacular dragon masks for my IFGS chapter. ---

Not so much this time of year. We checked at a couple of places and it was a no go. ---

Now that I know the name Google is my friend. Thanks for the assist. ---

JoAnn are the people that are in the process of dropping the ball. The masks that we paid for a month ago aren’t here yet, with a promised delivery date of two weeks ago. You do the math.
