80's Murder Mystery Party

Last week we were invited to a Murder Mystery party with some people in our neighborhood/ward.  When we got the invitation we found out it was an 80's theme.  I was supposed to be Molly Mingmold (Molly Ringwald) and Shane was to be Scabface (Scarface who I had never heard of before but he is a mobster character from the 80's.)  It just so happens that my sister still has her Pink prom dress from 1986 and it was PERFECT for the part.  I found a red wig and was set.  Shane's was a little harder but eventually we found a great white leisure suit, gold chain, gun, etc.  As part of his character he had to have a scab on his face.  So we found this scar makeup thing in a halloween store and when he put it on it looked so real it was kind of freaky.  Then about 20 mins after we got to the party, this guy comes up to Shane and asks if it's real...he didn't think it was but said he had to make sure cuz it looked so real he then couldn't remember if he had seen that on Shane before...lol.  You can see the scar over Shane's right eye in the pictures below.

The night was super fun, we were given different clues and things to reveal to people throughout the night and everyone came dressed up so great for all their characters.  We were attending the Debbie Gribson album release party when the 'murder' occurred.  It ended up that neither of us commited the murder although we were both accused of it and then it ended up that I did actually confess to murdering my childhood friend by smashing a rubik's cube into his head!  Gruesome...

Here are some pictures of the night:

I've been waiting for this post! I LOVE it!! Ok, where did Shane get that white suit? Perfect with the shirt unbuttoned and the chain. I wish I could see his scar more close up. I LOVE your wig and dress. Seriously that is classic!!!

Sheri & Shane....we are sitting her laughing hysterically over your blog and comments. Soooo funny! Not only does Jenn still have that dress, but look how good you fit in it! And Shane is so funny with his gun and scarface. You both look so good, and what a fun night you had.
