How long is ‘t now since last yourself and I Were in a mask? from The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Shame the Stars by Guadalupe Garcia McCall Before us was the most extravagant birthday party | had ever attended. Lupita's parents weren't rich, not by any means. It was obvious her parents had called in many favors from friends and family. The live music was not being provided by the usual conjunto group, but a long-tailed band. The musicos were Mexican, but they weren't local, certainly no group I'd ever seen before. The decorations were beyond extravagant. The whole room was swathed in wide colorful ribbons. The swatches of cloth extended from the ceiling at the center of the room, billowing outward in every direction. At the edge of the ceiling, the giant ribbons were fastened with enormous bows and dropped downward, elegantly draping the walls until they dusted the floor. Every table had a different-colored skirt, and on every runner lay a huge elaborately decorated chest with bedazzled fans; long beaded necklaces; and assorted jewels the guests could crown and pin on each other, layering them on one after another until they looked like royals. As we moved into the warmly lit room, staying in the shadows by skirting the cold stucco wall, masked girls dressed in rich, luxurious, long dresses walked past us, giggling with their friends. Some of the more sedate ones sat at elegantly draped tables with their sisters and mamas, waiting to be asked to dance by the masked boys milling around the room.
