NYE Murder mystery outfit help required!

Spangler, 29 December, 2011 at 11:25 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 24

The character I have been assigned is Dr Doris Johnson. (Really wanted to be Dame Barbara Carthorse though).

"She is an amateur archaeologist specialising in the Aztec culture & something of an eccentric. Costume suggestion: long velvet cloak, floppy hat with feathers in, reading glasses on a chain or monocle."

Any cheap costume suggestions welcome! Ta!

    Hi Spangler, I typed "Dr Doris Johnson costume" into the images bit of google and some pictures came up from other people. I can't look at any of them properly at work though as most of them are blogs Smiley sad

    I am really looking forward to it, never been to a murder mystery party before. I am catering (still no idea what to cook) the menu suggestion in the MM pack is: antipasti, quail egg salad, lamb shanks in cream sauce. Bleeeugh. I want to do something a bit more "wow" but it has to be true to the 1900 Parisian theme.

    As for costume, I keep thinking of Boris Johnson. Not helpful really.

    Thanks for the suggestions! Abigiggle - good plan on the food! 'Tis a difficult one, need to decide today what to cook! Friend at work has said I can borrow her long velvet coat so that is something ticked off the list.

    As of last night, we are also now attending a Murder Mystery night!!! Showgirls and Sins!

    "It’s 1958 and the Kings of Swing rule Las Vegas and indeed Hollywood. Joe King, the self proclaimed king and one of the coolest cats of all time, is headlining at the opening of the newest hotel on the strip.

    The Starlite hotel will boast the biggest pool and casino in Vegas and owner, Mack Aroni is hosting a fabulous party to celebrate the opening. It is the place to be and as the guests arrive the swanky room is full of Hollywood celebs, city officials and millionaires galore. But where is the main man himself?

    Harry Verderci makes an announcement to the stunned guests – Mack dropped down dead whilst catching one last game of poker. How did he die? Was it murder? He certainly had enemies but who would kill him? It’s up to you to find out . . ."

    I am Pearl Harbour, a glamourous Senators daughter and Mr C is Les Vegas, a casino legend who basically chases scantilly clad women!!

    Hope to see some pics on here of your outfits, Mrs C & Nurse!

    Just been to the 99p shop and Claire's and got some horn rimmed glasses, sparkly beret and hideous jewellery. Bosh.

    I am supposed to wear a full length silver dress, with fur wrap and long dark curls pinned up with diamond clips!

    Last minute invitation so a black dress and silver wrap will have to do... will crack out the rollers and wear as much sparkle as possible!!

    There is loads of good stuff in the charidee shops. Might be worth having a look.

    I've been out this morning before work and bought Mr Nursey some beautiful floppy trousers and floaty (ladies) top ? He's meant to be an old wise Indian guru, so will add a sparkly shawl round his head.

    He will actually kill me when I see him, but it serves him right for not going shopping himself! ?

    I've got off lightly as I'll be a 21yr old English girl, so just wearing a flapper-style dress and pretty jewellery
