Murder Mystery Party
Ahh, what an evening!
The other nite a friend of mine threw a murder mystery party at his lovely abode. Taking place in the 1920's, everyone was to pick a real historical figure from the era, then act and dress the part. I went as Theda Bara, and decided to hand make my own dress and headpiece. My boyfriend attended as the smooth and biting Brit, Aldus Huxley...
It was a fully catered event - complete with an always-on-edge white gloved butler, and wait staff. The music was of the period, as was the dancing. The wine flowed freely, and the food was scrumptious...
And the murder? Well, the nosy press-woman was done-in half way thru the nite by way of a poisoned stick-pin to the throat. The murderer left clues, yet attempted to frame the various attendees of the gala.
The more illustrious personalities present included - but weren't limited to - Babe Ruth, Sigmund Freud, F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda, Coco Channel, J. Edgar Hoover, Leopold Stokowski, and Lord John Gort. In all, there were about 25 of us...
In the end, a gun waving Lord Gort brought the party to a close by admitting his lurid deeds after all tried to guess "who done it."
