Athens might be a dearth as far as thrift and vintage shops are concerned (if you know better, please point me in the correct direction), however near the fruit market we frequent we stumbled across what was promised to us as "the best flea market in Athens." Through ancient doors crammed with oddities and up a spiraling decrepit staircase to a sprawling floor packed with curiosities we wander. Each enameled and detailed chest holds the potential of surprises that might yet be undiscovered. Every broken camera might once have been wielded by expert fingers and their subjects as varied and ravishing as storybook heroines. A sense of wonder and adventure is always present in these places...

To transition from that place and into a costume for the evening is as smooth and yet as magical as selkie slipping free of her seal skin. Boldness embues a masked person, their anonymity making them free to be whomever they want and frequently who they want to be changes in the blink of an eye. Unpredictable and uncharacteristic; I danced in the center of a room while others stood still.
