I was called upon to play the character of Mayor Biggs, who was shooting for the Governor's office on the back of shady dealings with mobster Notorious Nick.
To achieve such a subtle blend of power, desperation and a willinginess to do whatever it takes, I enlisted the help of a fake moustache which, according to the packaging, was called "The Scoundrel".
I think I pulled it off.
It's worth noting that, due to the constraints inherent in the timeframe, it was the first party I've attended in years at which I was not wearing a t-shirt bearing the likeness of a Nintendo character.
Despite that, I still managed to look as much like an Italian plumber living in the Mushroom Kingdom as I did a Mayor drinking in a Chicago speakeasy. It's in my genes now people.
The party was a blast, with a crowd of sozzled people in period dress falling in and out of character as the mood took them.

and OH you have a cigar :) thumbs up for the cigar and thumbs up for the tash. you scoundrel you
There is something liberating about blowing cigar smoke into the face of strangers, especially while wearing a fake moustache.
You look like a man with up to a dozen innocent dairy maids tied up on various railway lines across the French country side. Most inspired!
