Last weekend we went to a murder mystery party! I have always wanted to go to one, so I was excited when we got the chance. The theme for this party was "Las Vegas" and my character was "Mimi Martini", a cocktail waitress and Jeremie was "Ace High", a high roller. We were assigned our characters a few weeks ago, and had so much fun shopping for our outfits. Believe it or not, but most of both of ours came from Goodwill! Even J's sear sucker suit, which cracked me up. J had a great time accessorizing with the bowtie, rings, cigar, Mimi Vice sunglasses, and even the fake $5,000 bills that he left hanging out of his pocket. (A lady a Dollar General actually stopped him coming out of the store trying to tell him his money was falling out of his pocket!) I even glued some plastic glasses to a tray to finish of my waitress look.
We had already been given some information about our character, and when got to the party, we were given more info plus some paper cash in case we needed to "pay up" for secrets......
My character was a money lovin' waitress who was in love with Ace High (and his money.) Although, Ace had supposedly lost a bet to "Hustling Haley" the night before and wed her in the casino chapel.....
Our friends Melissa & David were "Precious Trump", the casino owner's daughter, and "Paul Piano", the casino entertainer. Take note of his glitter microphone that he carried around all night.....
Precious Trump was dating Jack Black, one of the casino dealers, which is totally against casino policy.......She had to pay me some cash to keep me from spreading her secret to her father, Ronald Trump, owner of the casino.....I told him anyway....which I also got cash for....sorry Melissa...
Jessica & Alex (on the right) were "Senator Justice and Mrs. Justice". Senator Justice was apparently involved in some suspicious activity that would harm his campaign.....and ignored his wife...making for a very bitter woman........
As we were mingling around the room, the lights suddenly went out and we heard a thud!!!! When they came back on, much to my despair was Ace High on the floor--murdered!!! They taped off the scene (literally with masking tape...hilarious) and we got more info about what our character knew about going's on in the casino and what info we were looking for.
Since Jeremie's character died, he turned into the FBI Agent on the scene and presented us with all the evidence to make the decision about who we thought the murderer was.....just as I thought-- it was that Hustling Haley! Awards were also handed out to best dressed, which was Elvis, and Drama Queen--which went to......drumroll please.....Mimi Martini!!!! I'm not sure how I feel about winning the Drama Queen award, but I guess I can't deny my inner cocktail waitress.
The fun didn't stop after the party...one of our party favors was scratch off lotto tickets, and we won the big money on one of them....$2!!! So the boys wanted to stop at a gas station to cash them in, but were rejected. (Apparently you have to mail it in.) This gas station had probably never seen anything like Ace High and Paul Piano. He actually did take the microphone into the gas station and made the poor clerk repeat herself in the microphone when she said she couldn't cash them in........
We had a blast dressing up, cracking the case, and meeting new friends.
We had a great time, thanks to all of y'all for being such great guests! I wish I had been a fly on the wall when the clerk was trying to repeat herself into that microphone...too funny! :)
