362 Becker House, Ithaca, NY
For halloween, our suite decided to throw a murder mystery party. We bought a kit online for a 1920's themed mystery to take place in a speakeasy, and raided some local thrift stores for supplies to cobble our costumes together.
Hilary, playing tailor for Melissa. A lot of our costumes were basic dresses that we decked out with fringe and other 1920's accessories.
Illika, stitching fringe to her dress. But of course, it couldn't be just normal fringe, because that would be boring. She went with purple.
Setting up the suite. We stacked our coffee table on our end tables to make a bar, complete with mini-fridge hid underneath and stocked with juice, soda, and energy drinks for mixing. What's a speakeasy without a bar, right?
The final product of our costume efforts: fringe, fun headbands, and pearls. Hillary was Dina Diva, the singer, Tahra was Molly Moll, the prima donna, I was Rosie Marie, owner of the speakeasy, Illika was Cindy Butt, the gossipy cigarette girl, and Melissa was Kitty Cocktail, the waitress.
We had a blast, and in the final vote 3 people correctly guessed the murderer. It was the police chief, can you believe it?
