Murder murder murder!

So we were invited to a murder mystery dinner party. We blocked it out of our minds since we are anti-social dorks. We figured it would be a bit of a chore but it turned out fun. I must say, I think the spiffing costumes I came up with 2 hours before helped us get into character. I'm pretty proud of the costumes and at the same time, a little worried that I have that much ridiculous clothing in my regular wardrobe.

My character was a traditional feminist. T was a piano bar pianist. I went for the Simone de Beauvoir look and was shocked at just how matronly I could turn out. By the end of the night though, I was really digging my look. As for T, I was digging his look straight away. Dude needs to grow a pencil mustache for real. He was hilarious as his character all evening.

It was played in french and I barely understood what anyone was saying but I made my character to be from England so at least I could speak in English and play my part with some gusto. I summoned up my best British accent as compensation and that seemed to go over well. Everyone else got into it their characters too which made it more fun. I didn't ask permission to post everyone else online so I haven't included their photos in the set.

Colonel mustard did it in the salon with a candlestick. Ahh Clue. I am definitely playing that soon.
