The Last Train From Paris

Jake and I dressed up on Friday night for round 2 of the murder mystery dinner party, this time at the Meeker's house. Last time we did this, we hosted the 50's themed dinner party at our house. We had so much fun the first time that the three other couples decided to purchase a different theme and host a party too! The Meeker's got The Last Train From Paris. The evening took place in June of 1940. German troops were about to enter Paris and to remain in the city under Nazi control would not be pleasant. We were all aboard the last train from Paris to southern France.


Jake's character was a fighter pilot in the British Armed Forces. My character was a well-to-do daughter of a wealthy French perfume king. We had fun dressing up!

From left to right: Noel was a military swordsman of noble bearing; Erin was a journalist for a large metropolitan US newspaper covering the war in Europe; Dave was a mysterious distinguished businessman who traveled between Berlin and Paris regularly for work; Elissa was a royal refugee driven to Paris by the advancing German troops; Andy was a gangster who made a living in the black market of Europe; and Andrea was a fashion designer and owner of a thriving high-fashion studio.

Elissa made a delicious blackberry baked brie

The drink of the evening was champagne mixed with Midori melon liqueur.

Andrea made an awesome chicken marsala dish! We also had green beans, roasted red skin potatoes, salad and creme brulee.

Wigs started coming out after dinner...haha!

Love the hair, guys!
