I went to go see Rocky Horror on Halloween Eve with Alex & Co. I was dressed as Magenta. On my walk there from dance class it was unpleasantly rainy and windy. I got leafed in the face. It kind of hurt.
Also, there's something oddly poetic about being leaf-slapped by a maple leaf, symbol of Canada. Hmm....

The Best Thing Ever
So, at Rocky Horror, before the movie/floor show began, they had a costume contest. One of the entries was this pair. I don't know who started the "MAKE OUT" cheer but pretty soon, the entire audience was on board. Dorothy and the Scarecrow looked kind of uncomfortable at first (maybe they weren't actually a couple? although...why would you go as what is CLEARLY a couple's costume) but then they got pretty into it. The emcee's response was perfect:
"It is not every day you get to rewrite a classic story."
When they won said costume contest, Dorothy leapt into the Scarecrow's arms and they then preceded to mime having sex onstage. Ah Rocky Horror...you make me happy.

Waiting for the bus after the show
For some reason there were a bunch of Orthodox Jews across the street, standing next to this crowd. It was . . . weird.

Here is a picture of me, Magenta with my brother, Riff-raff!
Were you alone with you thoughts to contemplate the show? Hahaha...
ReplyDeleteSorry. I thought I'd written in that first sentence that I went with you. It was almost 4 in the morning. Fixed!
ReplyDeleteI really love the picture of the scarecrow and dorothy! It deserves the title best thing ever. Also, what are your November seasonal nicknames?
