When you say Captain - I think ship

So I was invited to a Murder Mystery Party, which was quite exciting!  It was one of those types out of a box where everyone is assigned a character, comes in full regalia and proceeds to be given top secrete information out of a book that only he or she knows about.  With said information you can then interrogate other characters and have a rousing game of real-life Clue! Quite thrilling - no one knew who the murderer was (not every the murderer!) until the last round!  So about 2 hours before the party, I was informed that I was invited to the party (isn't it great having forgetful friends...)  

Here is how the text went:

Your invited to that murder party it's in the 40s and youre a captain

Naturally when someone says captain I think:

(so pretty)

So I dressed like this:

(notice awesome Greek Captains hat borrowed from Dad!)

But apparently captain in this case meant pilot!  Anyway - that was no problem because I just borrowed some goggles (not swimming) stuck them on the hat a voila!  I turned into quite a jerk because I found out throughout the game that I not only sucked as a pilot - but I was kind of running a prostitute business.  That's not a nice thing to find out about yourself!  The character was supposed to be a man, so I had to improvise a tiny bit - that also might explain the prostitute business...

In the end we were all fooled by the innocent(ish) princess who wasn't the princess at all! She was actually the supposed murder victim who had disguised herself as the Princess and killed the real one off! 

EGADS!

SHOCKING! 

Somehow after hours of brutally accusing each other we bonded again...over cheesecake.  It's really quite amazing what a good confection can do for your friendship!  Hopefully someone on facebook will send me pictures, because I quite liked our "cast" photo!

FULL STEAM AHEAD!
