Murder Mystery among the 80s stars

°

Here we go!


Sounds like fun!

Wie funktioniert das Murder Mystery?

Du bist eingeladen zu einer Nacht voller Glam-Rock, 
Pop-Ikonen, Mogwai-Skandalen, Vampirfledermäusen und 
Zauberwürfeln! Achtung: Dieses Spiel ist ernst aber nicht zu 
ernst zu nehmen. Wir sind uns bewusst, dass nicht jeder 
(normalerweise) Lust hat, sich zu verkleiden und aufgrund 
der Ungewissheit vielleicht etwas besorgt ist. Aber meistens 
liegt gerade im Unerwarteten die lustigsten und 
intensivsten Erinnerungen.

Setting

Paula Abdul veranstaltet für ihre Freundin Debbie Gibson 
im noblen VIP-Club „SONDERBAR“ in Beverly Hills 
eine 
absolut angesagte Album-Release-Party. Debbie Gibson ist 
ein internationales Top-Pop-Idol, das ihr neues Album 
Eclectic Youth veröffentlicht! Gleichzeitig veröffentlicht 
sie eine neue Duftlinie mit dem gleichen Namen! Die Gästeliste 
ist voll mit prominenten Gästen aus der Welt von Film, 
Fernsehen und Sport, die zweifellos in typischer 
80er-Jahre-Mode erscheinen werden! 


This is the crew.


And Oderazzi is .... Cyndi Lauper!

Cyndi Lauper ist ein lebenslustiger und exzentrischer Popstar. 
Sie ist bekannt für ihr ständig wechselndes buntes Haar 
und ihre verrückte Kleidung ebenso wie für ihre 
einzigartige hohe Stimme!

Empfohlene Kostümidee:
Bustier mit Tutu-Rock, Stulpen und großen, toupierten, 
farbenfrohen 80er-Haaren.


The invitation came in March, we saved the date.
But the information who you are going to be, came later.
Early enough to get prepared.
Went through my cupboards and found quite many
suitable objects, like the leg warmers!


There is a great shop in Frankfurt selling all kinds of carnival stuff.


I found the basic skirt in a second hand shop in Mainz 
and modified it with old cushion covers.
The jacket was a real 80s found in my wardrobe.


Ozzy & Cyndi


Rockstar indeed.


Crocodile Dundee finally was the victim!


And who killed him? Cyndi, indeed!
Lucky enough Kim Wilde was so merciful ... 
Cyndi could party on!


And she won the second price for the best costume!
The front man of the band Kiss totally earned his first price.


Cyndi's second choice for the dance floor.

Sonderbar is quite a cool location for events,
but also for boozing during the week .... 😆



Next day ... gray.

Thanks sooooo much U&M for the great party!

Would love to post some more pics but nowadays
the data protection wall is higher than ever.
Friends, I can post you some private pics if you are 
interested, you have my contact infos, for sure.

Hurden und Rapperswil

 °

Long weekend in Switzerland.


Such fun: we were invited to a birthday party 50+50.
Such fun to have such young friends!
Party location Hurden. Well, well, google maps can help there.


This peninsula is at the most narrow area of the lake Zurich.
There is a Seedamm from the tip of the peninsula with a 
bridge for cars and trains towards Rapperswil.


Nice walking ways for pedestrians as well.


Birds love this area of the lake.


And look at this wooden bridge!

On 6 April 2001 the reconstructed wooden footbridge was opened alongside 
the Seedamm. It was built within nine months in quite the same place as the 
original neolithic and medieval bridges linking Rapperswil with the nearby 
bridge chapel (Heilig Hüsli) built in 1551.  

The bridge has a length of 841 metres, is 2.4 metres wide, 
and its path is 1.5 metres above mean water level. (Wikipedia)


And there is Rapperswil.


Rapperswil has surprisingly big train station.


Such a pretty square.


In the white building at the pretty square there is a bar called: KOIVU.

Finnisch für Anfänger:

KOIVU = Birke / birch



And yes, they do offer korvapuustis!
And no, there is no Finn behind this bar,
it is a Swiss guy who happens to love Nordic food.



Well, this is a proof of the prices in Switzerland.
Of course, I do not know how much flour, butter, sugar and cinnamon cost,
not speaking about electricity costs and rentals nowadays.
But hello, 5 Euros for one korvapuusti?


For me numer 11 is always essential.
Such a pretty beer bar.

But also my other half would like Rapperswil.


This is one of the pretty houses in Repperswil.
Worth a visit, people.
