„I
would like - if I may - to take you on a strange journey.“
Well,
the story I would like to tell, is not as crazy as the story of Brad and
Janet, no not at all.
But form a judgement by yourselves.
„It
was strange the way it happened one of those quirks of fate really one
of those moments when... Everything looks black the chips are down
Your back is against the wall You panic - you're trapped - there's no
way out and even if there was it would probably be a one way ticket to
the bottom of the bay. And
then suddenly you get a break - all the pieces seem to fit into place
- what a sucker you'd been - what a fool - the answer was there all
the time - it took a small accident to make it happen.“ Let´s
have a look on Frank's words and compare those with my mood at that time,
yes I believe that fits. Just by mere chance I stepped into that movie
in TV. Actual
I was through with everything and everybody. I was so depressed and the
only thing I wanted to do was crying. Then I turned on the TV and switched
through the different channels. And then, that movie!! I
have to apologize for my next thought. „Oh my god, again such a stupid
persiflage of the frankenstein theme“, I thought. But the music wasn´t
bad and so I decided to watch the movie until the end. How
stupid I was. I was infected, the RHPS – Virus hold me tight in his clutches
and I couldn't get rid of it until today. The
first Live - Show. Once
again!! As luck would have it, I read in the newspaper that the "London
Musical Theatre" was on tour with the RHS and they would give a performance
in my town too. Together
with one colleagues of work and dressed (please forgive me) in a nice gown,
we went to the show. Our seats resided in the middle of the 4. row. How
starry-eyed I was been. " Why is the mixer covered with a plastic film?
Why do many of the other spectators look so weird? What on earth is in
the bags they have brought along? What are the 4 "undertaker" (Phantoms)
doing with the audience before the show starts. I did not know bugger all. Obviously
neither did the audio engineering. It happened during the „Timewarp“, rice
and water caused a loss of sound. About ¾ of an hour later
they continued with the show. I
enjoyed myself very much. In my opinion the show is much bettter than the
movie. Neither my wet dress nor the nearly 2 pounds of rice which I carried
in my underwear could not impact my sense of delight. I swore by Frank
n´Furter´s tatto to join the next performance as well. I
kept this oath until today. At least once a year I join the show als a spectator and I bought the Video
too.
How
I got my Outfit. Well
another odd story. A former colleague at school (an utterly fuddy-duddy,
slowpoke or whatever you want to call him) struts, that he would know everything
about the show and that RHS is the best show ever produced on earth and
so on. "Well old fellow, we will see, whether this is your real opinion
or not", I thought. The
luck of the draw (once again!!) the cast I mentioned above gave a performance
nearby and I got tickets for the first row. But
what should I put on? I was used to wear jeans and an old sweetshirt. I
lacked the courage to wear suspenders, fish net stockings and high heels.
But now things changed. It was Mardi Gras and I wanted to scandalize that guy.
Tthe corsage I found immediately in the
'bodice products' - department of a department store. I stitched the short trousers
by myself. I found the feather boa after a long search and many telephone calls in a
shop for
Mardi Gras accessories.
However, I still wore no suspenders this time (those ones came only a year later.) but enamel boots
which reached over the kneels. Wow!!!. Must
I tell you, that he was shocked in fact? He stayed honestly at my site until the
break, but rice, water, toilet paper and the shiny hand I brought along gave him
eventually the rest. After braeak his place remainded empty. (hurray, well done!!!.) The
comment of the womwan next to me: "Your companion is presumably a little bit
smug, isn't he?". However.
That guy never talked to me again.
How
my family was infected. Once
a time everything turns to an end, so it happened to me too. I met my present
husband. His
eldest daughter got hold of my Video (coincidence?), Daughter number
two was interested too and of course two new fans were born. Last
year only my husband and I went to the show but this year the whole family
will go to "do the time warp again" . The
elder daughter Kim dressed like Columbia with a tail coat and her grandfather's
wedding top hat. The
younger daughter Lisa dressed als a chambermaid (she is only ten years
old) My
husband dressed like Eddie, just wearing a leatherjacket and jeans.(I think
I couldn't persuade him to wear a thong and suspenders. And
I? Well as usual. the
pump guns stand there at hand, everything else is prepared too.
„It's
just a jump to the left YEAH,
the feeling to carry rice in your underwear, your wet cothes are glued
to your body because of the persons behind you are not able (or are extremly
able?) to aim, you wear damp toilet paper bandages, you are hoarse (you sang all songs as loud as you
could) and nearly deaf (once again you ordered the tickets too late and therefore you got a seat directly in front
of the giant speakers). YEAH, all these things belong to it, are part of me, I would never miss
again. „Don´t
dream it, be it“, Yes, that´s it. I am a real Rocky Horror Fan. your
Magic
Magenta „ I tasted blood and I want more!“ Actually
I can hardly remember the time before Rocky Horror, though it was only
a few weeks since saw those lips for the first time and heard this wild music. My
dad and his new wife had tickets for the show. I got a short summary of
the story. Then I found the video on the shelf. „What a cool cover“ I thought
and started the tape. I didn´t understand much of it, my english
is still poor and there were no german subtitles. How
fazinating to notice the behavior of adults in their Rocky Horror
ecstasy. Not to mention, where else are you allowed to throw rice and toiletpaper
or use a pumpgun in a theatre. Certainly
the tops were how your „grown ups“got dressed. Daddy,
because he is a newcomer, wore an old black muscle shirt and jeans. A checked
woodcutter shirt wrapped around his shoulders. His
wife she is an old sophisticated visitor in a outfit
á la Floorshow, made by her own. Of course she wore suspenders and high heels. I
think, I had done nearly everything to be with them. In
the meantime I saw that movie countless times, I know all the lyrics by
heart and I got a costume similar to that columbia wears in the movie.
Must I mention, that I got suspenders (my first ones!!) and high heels too? Besides
I joined the austrian fanclub. My nickname is SweetLittleNell. By
the way just before I pass to my little sister, there is a comment from
my classmates concerning the Rocky Horror music: „That´s
absolutely hot.!“ your
Sweet Little Nell Hi
together, my name is Lisa or better than that SpacyMagenta. I am only 10
years old, but already a big fan of the Rocky Horror Show. No wunder I
got really great examples. It
is the first time to see the show live on stage, so I am very upset about
it. My costume (chambermaid and perhaps little provocative) which hangs together with my suspenders and my
black stockings in the wardrobe is ready for use. My pumpgun stands
next to it. your
Spacy Magenta well, where
should I start? I had heard many
things about the Rocky Horror (Picture) Show, but the first time I saw
the video was nearly two years ago. I think that this strange story about
these two "normal healthy Kids" is really hot!!.
I praised the
reach of this pump gun. Guess, I will never forget his stupid look of that
guy, while putting his hand on his scant hair and looking desperate at
the ceiling whether there was a leaky point or not. *smile
Then the show started. During the "time
warp" I confused right and left, so my beloved
wife gave me a sharp look and even worse than that, my toes were bruised
by a very fat guy (I suppose he weighed nearly 300 pounds). Oh dear, my
poor dainty feet.
Nevertheless
it was really nice to see, how the jumping ladies managed their "apples"
to stay in the "baskets".
Two hours later,
my wife and I were completely soaked and soiled. I don't want to tell you
how much rice I carried in my underwear and about the wet toilet paper
all over the face I don' t want to talk either. It had been a great fun!!!
The show was the best thing I ever saw. We were both completely satisfied.
So, do you think,
I would miss that fun next year? No chance! No, I am not silly, not at
all.
Thus my motto
is:
"Don't
dream it, be it! I tasted blood and I want more!" your Bad
Boy Eddie .......and next
year I will wear suspenders! "Cross my heart and hope to die!"
By
this the seed was put. In the following years I managed it somehow
to watch the movie again and again, of course every time just by chance. "It's
just to improve my English", I said to myself.
Finally
on Saturday the 24.02.2001 it is time................
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That starts to drive you insane
Let's do the time warp again
Let's do the time warp again“
Hi folks,
Not to mention the music. Beeing an old Biker
I liked the fantastic Rock 'n Roll songs most. After all I was a Rock 'n
Roll dancer for nearly four years too.
Therefore it was just a small step to the first
live show. My wife took me by the hand and together we were off to our
neighbour town. I got a bag filled with some peculiar stuff:
But how and above
all when should I use the content? Everything seems a little bit curious,
but not for a long time.
The first jet of water I tested on an security.man
before the show. Well I was quite lucky, that he couldn't figure out, where
this spout came from.
