Killing for the Crown

The Beauty Queens

Once a month some of my college girlfriends get together for DZ dinner club.  The location rotates around town.  Each month a different girl gets to pick the place according to her birthday.

Last night I hosted the lovely ladies of Delta Zeta for a murder mystery dinner party.  The party was titled "Killing for the crown."  Seriously who doesn't want to dress up in a ball gown, put on eyelashes,  and tease up the hair to compete for the title of Miss America?!?

I dreamt  up the idea in July and we have been talking it up ever since.  I am happy to say that these Queens outdid their selves.  The arrived at my front door dressed to impress and ready to WIN!

MiMi helped me set everything up.  She helped to set up the packets for the contestants and also to get the house ready.  We had just enough people to play, but were short the pageant director.  MiMi stepped in and took over the role as Peggy Pageant~ pageant director.  Thanks to MiMi for being such a help and guiding us through the night.  Also thanks to Satch and Big Pop for entertaining the boys while we had the dinner party.
