I'm no comic book expert, but that definitely looks like Dr. Doom from the Fantastic Four. Not exactly "unknown."I mean the weird obscure picture of some unknown cartoon.
Correct, BT!I'm no comic book expert, but that definitely looks like Dr. Doom from the Fantastic Four. Not exactly "unknown."
If I had the money, I’d throw an authentic 18th century ball for charity that would make the Palace of Versailles’s look small and cheap.
I would travel the world and see everything humanly possible.
You don't need any money to quit working. Just ask Lawrence from office space.There was no definition of how much money "the money" is. I could move to a fancy apartment in a fancy city for a lot less money than I can completely quit working for.
If I had the money, I would buy a house to live in.
There are several actually in the USA already (just none close by me). Most have been suspended though due to Covid risks (I really want Covid and Monkey pox to just go away already ).Oooh, can I come? I love fancy balls, and I'm always up for 18th century anything!
Versailles actually does two. A costume party and a grand masquerade ball that requires authentic costumes.There are several actually in the USA already (just none close by me). Most have been suspended though due to Covid risks (I really want Covid and Monkey pox to just go away already ).

England does a nice one in Bath:
How cool! The best ball I've ever been to was the last Vampire Lestat coven ball that Anne Rice hosted here in New Orleans. She made a grand entrance with a whole second line parade, everyone looked so amazing, all kinds of special bands and performers....just a really great night. And she made a whole weekend of it, so I actually got to meet her at a Q&A she and her son Christopher did the night before.There are several actually in the USA already (just none close by me).

New Orleans is known for carnival balls right? Would they not have 18th century reenactment balls sponsored by their historical societies? If not, you could probably suggest the idea to your local historical society. It would not take much for NOLA to throw a great one. Easy money for NOLA tbh.How cool!

Is Portugal cheaper?The thing is, working from Spain isn't quite pie in the sky. Property prices are fairly low, many of the Urbanizaitons are actually very picturesque and you can get by on fairly little money. Thing is, you need the original cash injection to BUY the flat and you need to demonstrate satisfactory earnings to stay there. There IS now legislation saying you can stay for extreme ended periods of of time whilst working, mainly targeted at the UK what with Brexit and all, so that makes it more of a reality

They actually don't, at least not that I've heard of. Probably because the Carnival balls and debutante balls take up so much of the time and money. But, if Covid and monkeypox ever go away, I'll be hosting my own 19th century ball of sorts. I'm director for an interactive theater experience that debuted a few years ago at Orlando Fringe called New Orleans: The Beginnings, which is a historical fiction set in the 1840s. We were about to open an expanded version here in NOLA when Covid hit, which includes a ball scene. Not sure what you know about interactive theater, but it's where the audience is actually part of the show, living the experiences and deciding how things go each night. Hoping we'll actually be able to get back to it someday...New Orleans is known for carnival balls right? Would they not have 18th century reenactment balls sponsored by their historical societies?

That sounds really cool. When the NOLA USL team comes to the city in 2025, you could invite some of the team to participate. That may make your show become more popular and gain more recognition. Supporter groups often try things that their teams participate in, so your revenue may increase if they give it a chance. Just a thought.They actually don't, at least not that I've heard of.
