yes I was… I was the Magnolia Queen of the Mardi Gras ball – our bike club’s murder mystery this year. I was also the Debutante of the Year. Imagine that! roflmao (rolling on floor, laughing my a** off)
The event was fun. I enjoyed my role this year much more than last. I was a high class society snob this year – fun to play, and Greg was my fiancé - not much of a stretch there. It was fun having long black hair, lots of jewel bling, etc. btw – if you ever need to darken your eyebrows without thickening/clumping – use the mascara that is used with fake eyelashes, look by them. – it ROCKED!
The only problem I’m having is that folks remember me from the first year we had the murder mystery fundraiser – the year I played the town tramp. So they keep looking at me, thinking I’m playing a tramp again. That made it tough for me to try to play a snobby rich girl who is excited about being engaged and totally in love with her fiancé, while at the same time distraught about her daddy being murdered. I was trying to walk the line of being bubbly and friendly with the “darlin’s” yet not trampy at all.
Something else that was cool – folks vote on who they think “did it.” Well, I was tied with the actual murderer for the number of votes received. Woohoo!!
Also fun – I met a friend, Carrie, afterwards for a few drinks. At first I thought I’d go out in the wig, then I decided against it cuz I thought it looked pretty bad. But folks in the club thought it looked all right, so I went out with long black hair; I did put on a black tee and jeans at least! I thought the wig looked totally obviously fake. BUT…. A girl who sat next to Carrie and I, whom we talked to quite a bit, thought it was real, so I’m sure most/all other folks there did too. I looked a little Elvira’ish to me, and I did get a couple odd looks, but nothing major. So that was fun fun fun for me. Kinda going incognito.
