Murder!




A little while ago I attended a murder mystery party that was set in the 1940's. I pin-curled my hair for the first time, and I was quite pleased with the result. I followed the very useful instructions from this video if anyone is interested in giving it a try. My dress is vintage, the hat is new and belongs to my friend Erinna who is also pictured, and that's my vintage 40s jacket she's wearing as well as my scarf! She actually turned out to be the muderer, she does look somewhat suspicious....Murder Mysteries are very good fun by the way, if anyone was thinking about hosting one!

  1. That sounds like so much fun! I went to a murder mystery party when I was about 15 but no one really did it properly. I'd love to go to another sometime. Your hair and vintage dress are perfect.

  6. Thank you, and Kallie in murder mysteries, everyone gets a character and information, one person is the murderer and you have to figure it out with the clues and stuff you get...and talking to other people! You can buy them and all the bits you need come with it, you don't have to make it up or anything!
