WHO DUNNIT???

This year for Halloween, Ryan and TJ decided to host a murder mystery party. Everyone was given a character to portray, complete with personality description. Mark was Balihi, the Rogersandhammerstein Monster, and I was Dr. Angela Deth, D.D.S. These two characters were pretty fitting, I thought. Mark was supposed to portray a cross between Frankenstein (the monster part) and a musical theatre diva (divo?). I was Dr. Deth, a dentist who loves to put her patients under - six feet under. Mark's costume was a real trip. It consisted of light green face paint, two nasty "cuts," cat ears and tail (he supposedly starred in CATS), and a tutu - a tribute to his time on the stage. I went in goth, with a black and grey wig, white face, and black eye makeup and lipstick. I also had a nose ring (look closely) and several earrings. Mark wasn't too keen on wearing a typical pink, girly tutu, so I made him a red and black skull print tutu. Very masculine indeed.

Ryan and TJ were a mummy (King Aldrinktotat) and Lizzie Bordeaux, a woman who pledged her innocence on the charge that she killed both her parents during childhood.
Travis and Vicki were an asthmatic devil (namely, the Prince of Dimness - he wasn't altogether too bright) and Madame Garlique, a communicator of departed souls. They had the BEST props... Travis would pull out his "inhaler" and take a long puff anytime he was questioned or threatened, and Vicki would change the subject by fortune telling and tarot card reading.
Jacob and Brittany were Hannibal Schecter (doesn't the name say it all?) and Glumda, the Wicked Witch of Depressed.

And this is all of us together (Way to go on figuring out that camera's ten second timer, Mark!) posing in all of our evil glory...
I would definitely recommend hosting one of these parties, to all of you who have told me that you've been wanting to. It was a lot of fun (as long as the people you invite are as much fun as we all were)!

That sounds like fun! I doubt I could get Brad to go along with it, though.
