here's me.
all in character at the murder mystery party.
i was candice, the showgirl. who was suppose to be disillusioned
and thinking i/she was going to be rich and famous.
"just ad lib" was what was suggested to me, by both writers.
and i did. ad lib, that is. it was much easier that way.
more natural.
i had an hour to go over my script and get into the role.
i enjoyed talking about mary pickford, the south of france, hollywood and
how much my feet hurt from dancing.
in the end... i was the the murderess.
it was totally volunteer. and so very much fun.
i was able to say things
to people, that i normally wouldn't say.
i was shifty. insulting. arrogant. and deceiving.
my outfit was one that i put together at home.... thanks to my mom, who has
so many very cool clothes!
i sat among 17 strangers and had a three course meal. my job was to keep the guests on topic. keep them pumped. and interested. which wasn't too hard, since it was a very fun group.
i'll be doing this again in the fall. or sooner, depending on the next party. in fact, the atmosphere was so electric, that i even offered to be a waitress at the party.
smile, wink, nod~
