The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a comedy and musical, telling the story about sweethearts Janet and Brad, who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s bizarre abode.
This was a flick that my parents never allowed me to see. Maybe that’s why I love it so much!!!❤
Sexual explicitness! Fresh & different songs! Susan Sarandon! Tim Curry! The outrageous hair + makeup +outfits!
Audience participation!!
For all these reasons, R.H.P.S. has always been a favorite of mine.
I’ve yet to go to a screening of this flick in full costume — so, when I heard this 1975 cult classic was recently remade by FOX and aired on TV last week. A screening party was in order.
Naturally I was ready to cringe, hiss and boo at the screen … but one thing was clear: it HAD to be watched, and in full dress-up too!
What I Wore
It was agreed that dress-up needed, but to exclude nips and be longer than one’s vajayjay😛
I found this $10 tee from Black Market Vintage the day before … and worked my outfit magic by shopping my closet to make this look work:

Sorry for the indoor shots – but it was raining and I didn’t wanna get on my balcony.
Pretty tame for R.H.P.S…. I know…but still dope I think. Plus, I’m wearing fish net stockings. You can’t really tell from these photos, but I promise they’re there!🙂
How I Got The Look:
Tuxedo jacket, HBC Jessica Simpson (click here for other looks); Graphic R.H.P.S. tank, Black Market Vintage; Wine skirt, Reitmans; Mini top hat fascinator, BIGDeal consignment sale (click here for that); Fish nets stockings (old); Mary Jane shoes, Payless
And then of course excessive hair and make up was required😉
I’m rubbish at big hair and eye shadow application … so this was as good as it was going to get for both!
My pitiful attempt at “big hair” trying to harness my inner Magenta
What I Did
The Gladstone Hotel hosted a screen party for the FOX’s Rocky Horror Picture Show set the tone with a little Drag-Queen pre-show and post show…
There weren’t too many of us dressed up for the screening – just me + my girl Eli + the performers and our server🙂
Here’s a little 30s clip of one of the Drag performers: Dottie Dangerfield
Don’t Dream It. Be It.
Overall, the new FOX version wasn’t as terrible as I thought it was going to be. There were some fabulous moments and it was pretty entertaining.
But, the original still has my heart!❤
Who among you watched it? How do you think it compared with the original? What do you think of my R.H.P.S. Style?
