Terry & I attended The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Lower Ossington Theater on October 29th. Being a long time RHPS fan, I was looking forward to seeing the Toronto live version.
Getting ready:
 |
| Custom Made Crinoline: Katy K Designs |
 |
| Leather Corset: DeMaske |
We decided to have Terry dress as a Transylvanian, and I would be a combination of The Transylvanian's "Offical Plus One" while also giving a shout out to 'The Floor Show' segment in the film.

Our plan was to take pictures of audience members so we could post pictures of our favourite Brad & Janet, or our favourite Magenta & Columbia. Gosh, were we disappointed to find that 99% of the audience did NOT get dressed up for the occasion. I still can't wrap my head around planning to attend Rocky Horror without plans to also get dressed up for the occasion. That would never, every happen in New York City. Toronto audiences should be ashamed of themselves.

| RHPS castmember Dayna and fellow Leopard lover Jessica Overall we loved the show. The fact they had a woman as "The Narrator" was a great change to the Rocky Horror format and she was fabulous. My only complaint with the production was Riff Raff & Magenta. Why the wardrobe mistress decided to turn Riff Raff into a Goth figure with long black hair confused me. Then to turn them both into blonde hair rock stars (Magenta as Lady Gaga??) for the closing scenes added to my confusion.  Wishing you a Happy Halloween. |
