Top 6 Masks of Labyrinth of Jareth

Check out more photos in CuriousJosh's slideshow "Labyrinth of Jareth @ Park Plaza."

Once a year, right before Comic-Con, a whimsical masquerade called Labyrinth of Jareth takes place over the course of two days in Los Angeles. You might recall reading about organizer Shawn Strider in our "L.A. People" issue earlier this year.

This year, Labyrinth of Jareth took place at Park Plaza, a stately venue near MacArthur Park. As always, in order to enter the party, one must wear either a costume fitting with the faeries and goblins theme or a mask. Here are the top 5 masks from their Goblin Clockworks Night.

6. The Non-Mask Mask

​ Painting your face counts as a mask, right? I think I'm going to try this for LOJ next year because, after a few run-ins with several inanimate objects, I realized that masks aren't necessarily suited for someone as clumsy as I.

5. The Plague Doctor

​ You can't go wrong with a "plague doctor" mask. It's a classic.

4. Scary Masks

​ What's a masquerade if someone isn't wearing something scary enough to shock you even when you can barely see through your own gear.

3. Glittery Masks

​ The glittery, fall leaf is pretty and unusual.

2. The Lace-Like Mask

​ The lace-like pattern cut into this mask is exquisite. Must find one.

1. The Birdhouse Mask

​ They Might Be Giants may have a little birdhouse in their soul, but this girl has a giant one on her head. It's amazing.
