The invitation reads, “You are invited to a 30’s mystery weekend. So pack your evening gowns, choose a 30’s hairdo, pick out your favorite weapon, and bring along your detecting skills. For there’s going to be a murder. And it’s up to you to figure out, Who Dunnit?
Who killed the maid, Blackmail? Was it Betrayal/Alex, Greed/Paris, or Desire/Jadde? It’s up to you to figure out.
Betrayal is Alex dressed in a slender black column of shimmering satin, with a flair cut, white and black reversible jacket. She wears a blond 30’s wig, and is accessorized with earrings and shoes. She comes with a gold gun and a black lined invitation.
Greed features Paris in a stunning look; golden, marceled wig, and a liquid gold gown. She has earrings, shoes along with a gold and “diamond” tiara. Greed comes with a gold candlestick and a black lined invitation.
Desire is Jadde in a blood red, cowl-neck, and column gown. The gown features long red ties with tassels on the ends that can be worn in a number of ways. Her wig consists of a black braid that wraps around her head to a chignon in back. She has red earrings and shoes to match. Desire comes with a dagger and black lined invitation.
Blackmail, the murder victim, is a 30’s maid outfit complete with a “severe” black dress. The dress is embellished with white organza cuffs and collar. Her long, white organza apron, maid’s cap and “sensible” black shoes complete the ensemble. She comes with a tray, empty glasses and vinyl bloodspot. Blackmail is an outfit only.
And Another Collection

Timothy Alberts
Mr. Alberts, besides devising murder mysteries, has also created evening gowns for Paris and Jadde.
Camellia presents Paris with a new dazzling look. Her very short and very chic hairdo looks fabulous with her new face paint. Her gown, ruffles of pink tulle attached to a sleek, drop waist, taffeta bodice, and were made to dance the night away. Jeweled earrings, purse and pink shoes complete the outfit.
Fuchsia is a beaded, strapless gown. The beading, on a black organza overskirt, covers a brilliant fuchsia colored underskirt to stunning effect. The beading pattern of flowers and vines was done exclusively for Madame Alexander. Jadde’s hair is caught up in a spiral braid at the top, and flows down her back with waves. Earrings, purse, and shoes give a final touch to this ensemble.
