We had the great privilege of going to Cary and Kristy's house for Thanksgiving in Ponte Vedra, Florida! They threw a murder~mystery dinner party on Friday night. I have never been to anything like that before. We were in for quite a treat! Weeks before the party, we received invitations with a link to the website about the party. There, we were able to read about our character and what kind of personality traits they had! For example, my character was:
I was to portray an internationally famous astrologist! Down to earth, fun loving, comedienne who bursts into songs whenever the time is right! This gave me time to prepare for my part and find a costume to go along with my personality!
Here I am: Skyler Starry!!
How did I do?
Paul was Jolly Boatley; mild mannered fisherman who likes to rhyme words and has extraordinary dancing skills!
You get the idea! Everyone came to party and had to stay in character throughout the entire time. It was very fun to be someone else. At least I thought it was. I tried not to think too hard about it and just kind of let loose and sang songs when a word would bring one to mind! I think I may have annoyed some characters with my lack of ability to carry a tune but oh well!
Kristy went with an Australian theme for the party and all the food came from Australian recipes!
The Aussie Beachcomber was a fancy drink! Kind of loosened up my singing ability!
Halloween stickers for the glasses so you can always find your drink!
All the details were so clever! Even the wine bottles had a murder /mystery theme!
Lovely dessert! Chocolate and Strawberry Lamingtons!!
At the party we received envelopes containing clues to reveal about ourselves, questions to ask other characters and things not to reveal! This created great conversation flow! So very fun to see everyone's costumes and to figure out if they were nice or mean, suspicious? innocent? or guilty?
Here is Fasa Shone (Fashion ~ clever right!)
My girl looking a little bit too cute!
She was a wealthy fashion designer with a mean disposition!
Quite the snob! She played her part with flair!!

I must say that Fiona Fingstein and Dr. Indy Jonas
make a dashing, beautiful couple! Don't you?
They looked awesome. Especially those shoes Cary!
Literally!
Oh Rudy, your time was short!
He wasn't the kindest character! One funny part about this
was that we knew someone was going to be the
victim so no one acted surprised when he fell over!!
No one was upset. At one point Grover,
the dog walked over and stood beside his body!
Unfortunately we didn't get that picture!
Here you have Cara Tinn and Poindexe Dorfman!
Playing their parts with great flair as well!
Kerri is the stunning, rich, Zangelina Holie!
First prize for that character portrayal!
Sam Spellburn you rascally, prankster!
Mr Hiles played Yune A. Vorsti the greedy,
mocking graduate student!
Love the bow tie!
We played some silly characters, just like real life!
Too cool Royal T!
My favorite costume of the night I must say!!
What a great job you did planning this! It was so much fun!
Who done it, you ask? Why it was Dr Indy Jonas! Don't let that smile fool you!
