Just a few days after the Athens victory the media was already speculating how Lordi will dress for the eventual Independence Day reception in the president's castle. This is the annual ball on December 6 where the president invited besides the members of parliament, all diplomats, those Finns who have done or achieved something important during the year, like being elected Miss Universe, won an Olympic medal or world championship etc. Of course Lordi MUST be invited! The members of Lordi answered right away they wouldn't go there unmasked. However, they cannot arrive in full masks due to security reasons so how could all this work out? In today's Iltalehti Kita says that probably they could have a dressing room, change into their masks, greet the president and leave... which resulted in a screaming first page headline: "LORDI DEMANDS A DRESSING ROOM" or special treatment.... sigh. The President's castle just comments "we are only working on the guest list. Lordi has not received an invitation yet like everyone else". This reception that goes on for all evening is broadcasted live on tv and is every year the most watched programme. Lordi in it - most likely but how? - will just make the ratings even higher!
