Hells, yeah; their stuff is awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Last time we arranged with them to ship directly to the winner, so I never got my hands on the mask.  This time they sent it to me to ship out, which means I can comment more specifically on the quality of the mask <en>and<\/em> I can open up the giveaway to overseas readers.<\/p>\n<p>The mask they&#8217;re giving away is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vivomasks.com\/products\/teschio-black\">Teschio Black<\/a>, a metal masquerade piece in the shape of a skull.  It&#8217;s an absolutely gorgeous piece, and is perfect for the goth set.  I could imagine designing a whole cosplay outfit around this mask.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vivomasks.com\/\">VIVO<\/a> has hundreds of different styles, all handmade in Italy, and they ship worldwide.  Given the quality, the prices are surprisingly reasonable.  Their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vivomasks.com\/blogs\/masquerade\">Masquerade Blog<\/a> is pretty neat, too; they have a lot of suggestions for things like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vivomasks.com\/blogs\/masquerade\/39443972-tips-and-ideas-for-haunting-beautiful-halloween-party-decor\">decorating for Halloween<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to enter to win this mask, just leave a comment on this post by Friday, September 16.  A winner will be chosen at random.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to VIVO for the lovely giveaway opportunity!<\/p>\n<p><b>Update:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shadowmanor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/randomnumber-131x150.png\" alt=\"Random Number\" width=\"131\" height=\"150\" class=\"contentimg\" \/>The contest is over and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.random.org\/\">random.org<\/a> spat back the magic number 10, which means Mim is the proud owner of the mask.
