The sign on the front door of the house read “A little partying never killed anyone”. But the guests were in for much, much more. I know this not because I’m psychic (but I am), but because I have been hired to be the mysterious palm reader for this evening of fun. I had been booked on this event for several weeks and looking forward to the fun and doing palmistry reading for guests participating in a 1920’s Murder Mystery birthday party.
Murder mysteries are always a fun party theme and groups always seem to get into it going all out on matching the food, decor and even costumes to create the mood. The 1920 Prohibition theme would be particularly fun for dressing up and jazz music would be part of the entertainment too.
And I adore that time period and had plenty of costuming for it too!
When the guests arrived…
The sign on the door was just the beginning of a festive evening. The ladies arrived dressed in colorful flapper costumes, long gloves and jewels. The men wore hats, suspenders and zoot suits. Champagne was poured and plenty of food was lavishly displayed. I was strategically placed in the dining room which all the guests had to pass when they entered through the front door. You couldn’t miss me in my bright turquoise gypsy jacket and red turban. My table was already set up by my hosts with lovely black table cloth and crystal candle stands. All I added was a crystal ball and it was the Cats Pajamas!
I see palmistry in your future!
When I do palmistry readings at parties, I usually will start seeing some patterns of similar markings in the hand. This group had a lot of people who were very independent and were always interested and anxious to try new things (gap between the life and head lines). They were also individuals with creative qualities and out of the ordinary interests (long ring finger). It did not surprise me that the group was so enthusiastic about dressing up and joining in an evening of theatrics and frolic. They all seemed to really enjoy each other.
Our two hours flew by and it was time for me to go and the Mystery Murder game to start. I was packing up when one of the Mystery actors pulled me over for one last palm reading and a quick picture before I slipped out the front door.
