Mystery Dinner… When in Rome…
anyone could be the murderer!!
The mystery dinner was tons of fun. The storyline: Everyone had a motive. Everyone had committed treason somehow, and we all wanted to hush up the poet who threatened to disclose all our sordid details. So we all made our attempts to kill him. The journey of the entire night was uncovering each other’s disgrace which led us to want to murder, and figuring out who was actually the one who ultimately killed Flabbius off?

All the women accusing each other in this picture.
From left to right: Flotilla the businesswoman, Servant Girl 1, Servant Girl 2, Mercedes the wife of the dead Flabbius, Rotunda the Vestal Virgin (that’s me), and Cleptopatra.
Picture of Alvin, Julie and myself in front of the “window” which has a view of the Colosseum. And, in case you’re wondering, that’s Alvin’s breastplate.
The great thing about the way the Mystery Dinner was put together is that even the murderer didn’t know she was the murderer until the very end. We only had facts about our secrets and a few tidbits we knew of others. It was literally a mystery the whole night long! But in the end, I’m happy to report that I wasn’t the murderer. Though for my crime of adultery, fornication, licentiousness, breaking my religious vows and other treasonous act, I certainly deserved death by suffocation. How is it that I got off just ’cause I didn’t succeed in murdering the one who would expose me? It’s a strange world.
The moral to the story: When in Rome, don’t do as the Romans do. It could be trouble.

sounds fun! I’ve always wanted to go to one.
ooh we did that for one of our special dinners last year. there’s usually a theme and great gourmet food. we were all characters on a plane flying to Vegas and we had to figure out who had stolen this jewel… it was way too complicated and a key player couldn’t make it. but still fun to dress up.
funny pictures mree.. real funny!
