...and then, an unexpected return to my youth. *grin*

[livejournal.com profile] triadruid, [livejournal.com profile] matchgirl42, [livejournal.com profile] popefelix, [livejournal.com profile] ruisseau and I went out last night to see Fishnets and Floorshows do the Rocky Horror Picture Show at Screenland. We get in the door, having navigated the question "Are you here for RHPS, or the Bible study?", and are standing around idly (okay, I was gawking at a hot androgynous redhead... all RHPS troupes are apparently by law required to have a hot androgynous redhead, and thank all the gods for that really!).

Then, said H.A.R. is pointing at me. And saying "She's cute, let's ask her." Then, zie's walking over saying, "How many times have you seen this movie?". I fumble around in my brain for a number. "Well, I used to be in a cast in Florida, so, a lot, but it's been a really long time since I've seen the film." Zie says, "Good enough. Our Columbia can't make it tonight, could you be Columbia?" I say... er. And then, I say "Sure, but I can't tap-dance. Do you have a hat?"

And lo, it came to pass that I did not get to sit safely in the audience and yell out rude things at the screen, but instead, got to run around for two hours variously screaming, dancing, and flailing. Apparently, I did all right, (or they're really short of players) because they asked me to come back next week and finish the October run. I'm divided. On the one hand, it's a lot of fun, and I probably wasn't doing anything at midnight next Friday and Saturday. On the other, I have *no* costuming, I still can't tap-dance, and I woke up this morning with glitter in my eye. Hrm.

Anyway, they put on a very funny show. Since I haven't been to a production in manymany years, there's a whole load of new lines that I haven't heard -- you'd be amazed how many Sarah Palin jokes you can fit into the script. If you are in the area and have any interest at all in the Cult of Rocky, I suggest you buy tickets now. The show runs next Friday and Saturday and midnight. Saturday's performance is alleged to be costume night, with some sort of contest.

EDIT: In other news, [livejournal.com profile] triadruid wore PVC pants to the show. I believe the phrase "Hot Damn!" is appropriate.

That's awesome! Although there are certainly worse things to wake up with in your eye after Rocky than glitter.

Wow. Even considering the denizens of iniquity who populate my Friends List, it's been a while since I actively winced involuntarily at a comment.

I involuntarily create that involuntary effect sometimes.

What you completely fail to mention is the PVC skirt you were wearing, which along with that white shirt, the stripey socks, and the red velvet Docs, was incredibly hot.

There are probably some out there, but none of our party was bright enough to take cameras with us (also, PVC has astoundingly few pockets).

I went digging to see if I had stashed my old Columbia outfit anywhere's I might be able to just give to you (I'm about 100lbs - literally) too much larger for it now. But, if I have any of it - its in a mystery storage box. The corset probably needed a little sequin repair after 14 years of non-use anyhow.

Palin liners?! Wow. now, I am intrigued. Cult of Rocky bring back too many high school memories... :)

You know, it's now actually possible to just right out purchase a Columbia costume...with wig...

Go ahead...you know you want to...

I'm a something without something, for certain. I suspect the quality that properly goes in the second blank is 'good sense', though. :)

I remembered a new line after I got home last night...when Riff-Raff and Magenta took off to run up the stairs on the side nearest to me after Rocky, I heard the guy playing Riff-Raff yell out, "Last one up the stairs has to be in Shock Treatment!!!"

Oh. My. GAWDS. I was cracking up.
