Tonight is the night! We present A Revolutionary Murder with a new ending and a new Evelyn Ganache, the put-upon assistant to Reuben Maneuse, organizer of the evening’s festivities. I play Evelyn, whereas when we presented the murder before I played the evil and short-lived Amaretta VonSchnapps. Of course I needed a new costume. I thought I had found a good dress at a rummage sale, but when I got it home and tried it on, YUCK! It showed up all my figure flaws (and believe me, I have a seriously flawed figure!).
After a few failed thrift store visits, I remembered I had a pair of generic black pants. A plain blue top, paired with a patriotic scarf I had worn with the more flamboyant Amaretta costume would do. I made my way to New 2 You Consignments in Ilion, NY, where I had previously found many excellent additions to my wardrobe.
Lots of good stuff here.
“I need a costume, but NOT something fabulous,” I told Robbi, the owner, as I walked in. It was not long before I found just the right thing. Phew!
I’m the one sitting down.
Just to show you an example of one of my more fabulous finds. I actually found this the day of the murder mystery, and I have worn it for at least one other murder mystery since. I think I look rather fabulous in it, but perhaps I flatter myself.
I’m second from the right.
And here is another fabulous find. This one I wear as part of my regular wardrobe, not just for murder mysteries. I do like to dress to impress, even if the only one I impress is myself.
New 2 You Consignments is located at 10 Central Plaza, Ilion, NY.
