​👑 ROYAL DECREE: MASQUERADE BALL OF CHARMED INTRIGUE 👑

​Friday, June 6th | ORIGIN | Attendance Strongly Encouraged by Royal Command™

​Noble Ladies, Gallant Gents, and Resplendent Rascals—

​The court summons you to an evening of masked mischief and merriment. On the 6th day of June, under moonlight and mood lighting, the grand halls of Origin shall transform into a den of decadent delights and dazzling anonymity.

​This is MASQUERADE, where elegance meets extravagance, and secrets are currency. One might even say... it’s a party fit for royalty (because it is, and you are).

​Sidebar: Origin, by decree of the Spice King himself, is one of the most overlooked treasures in the Bay Area nightlife realm. It doesn’t shout—it seduces. Last time we took over its chambers, the verdict was unanimous: 800 beauties, overflowing dancefloors, and hot vibes that could’ve melted gold. A sellout of legendary proportions... and this year, we must outdo ourselves.

​👗 YOUR MASQUERADE ENSEMBLE: A MATTER OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE

​In accordance with the Royal Dress Code (ratified by the Committee of Overdressing):

• ​🎨 Colors: Black. Gold. Red. Regal hues only.

• ​💃 Vibe: Stylish, seductive, slightly dangerous.

  • ​100% classy. Think dresses, suits, tuxes.

• ​🎭 Masks (of course!): If you arrive barefaced, the court shall provide you with one.

  • ​No noble and noble lady shall go unmasked.

​Use your imagination but keep it upscale and classy— you’re behind a mask, not in a budget spreadsheet :)

​This is a masquerade for the chosen few—no general public, no random streetwalkers. Just you, and the city’s finest masked mischief-makers. Think tech tycoons, velvet-cloaked visionaries, and dangerously well-dressed charmers dancing like no one's watching (because technically, no one will know it’s them).

​If you’ve received this invite, it means one thing: you’re in the royal circle now.

​Here are my co-hosts:

​​Marvelous: Helping brands put on memorable in-person events - as they handle the venue, guests, and details so gatherings run smoothly.

​Age 25+ preferred. We like our guests seasoned, not raw.

​✨ FINAL WORD FROM THE THRONE ✨

​Attend with your finest friends. Summon your sultriest alter ego. Practice your best slow-turn-over-the-shoulder mask reveal. This is not a mere gathering—it is a rite of passage into the house of velvet nights and velvetier intentions.

​You are commanded—no, invited—to join the revels.
