Rocky Horror Picture Show "SHUT UP"

Rocky Horror Picture Show 2010

So, this was my costume for Rocky Horror last night. A guy in a skimpy maids outfit won, but since I was so popular I got a prize too. So many people liked my costume that some took pictures with me. I have never felt more glamorous. At any rate I'm a winner because my costume got the most attention. I think it was the hair. It's conceded time!

I'm Magenta in her space suit.

I'm pissed because my shoulder wings are just paper. I put off making this costume to the last minute and ended up making it that day. I woke up at 5am and just had the front of my dress done, as well as the gold sewn onto my gloves.

This will be my Halloween costume and I'll fix more of it later. I'm going to redo the wings to have 2 on each shoulder, and this time make them out of PVC. I'm also going to glue a buckle on the belt and some valcro to keep it together.

The gloves are my favorite part. I bought a pair of sequin gloves they were selling as Michael Jackson gloves, and I sewed one to be a glove for the opposite hand. Then I sewed gold material on the backs of the gloves. Then I cut out a pattern to make the cone like shape around the gloves on news paper. I kept doing a trial and error tests around my arms to see what would work and look the best. When I found my shape I cut out the pattern on PVC fabric and sewed it onto my glove. For the shape I cut some heavy construction paper into a cone shape, taped it together, and inserted it into the arm part of my gloves. I got some gold glitter glue to put a nice border around the top of my gloves as well. Glitter glue for fabric is a must in costumes for Rocky. My Columbia costume heavily relied on it.

I made my dress myself out of metallic gold fabric. I doubled up the fabric so it wouldn't be terribly see through, then sewed them together by hand (because I don't know how to use a sewing maching). I made a pattern out of news paper after holding it against my body and marking areas to draw a pattern. After drawing a pattern I held it against me to make sure everything looked right, then cut it out and traced it around some fabric, which was also cut out. While tracing on fabric, make sure the fabric is doubled up so you cut out 2 pieces at the same time. That way you can sew them together immediately. After sewing 2 pieces together you have the front part of the dress. I held the font part up to my body and saw how the dress layed on me, and where the ends of the fabric landed. My fabric wrapped around my side and ended up behind my armpit, while my straps where okay as they were. So I redid my pattern on news paper and made my sides about 2 inches shorter. I cut it out, held it against me and saw if everything looked right before cutting out my pattern and redoing the process. When I was finished I held the pieces against me and saw where to pin the straight pins. After pinning everything together I tried on the dress carefully and determined if it fit, which it did. I sewed my dress together, leaving slits on the sides to show leg, and then I was done.

My belt was made out of the strip of PVC, not very complicated. I didn't have time to put on a fastener, so I just scotch taped it.

This is my whore look. Hey everybody, it's Amy Winehouse!

All this was my hair wrapped in a styrofoam ball. The ball was wrapped in duct tape so no flakes would come off, and then wrapped in cellophane so the bobby pins would grab on to it and hold my hair in place. There was scotch tape around the cellophane to keep it together as well. The white streak is some hair paint spray that was like $2. That stuff is pretty awesome.

I did my hair by teasing it and putting in a lot of hair spray. Then I took strips of my hair and wrapped it around my styrofoam ball while simultaneously pinning it with bobby pins. I checked that no part of the ball was showing throughout this process. I left 2 strips of hair down to paint. They had to be able to be showing on the sides when my hair was up, and be able to go down to my root, so I picked strips from the underside of my hair. After all my hair was wrapped I painted the strips a length that would be tall enough to reach the top of my beehive, but not the whole strip of hair, because my hair is longer then the beehive is tall. I used over 200 bobby pins.

This is TP that people threw during the movie. I wrapped some of it around my massive hive.

Those bastard neighborhood kids TP'd my hair again.

This reminds me of the time I wore TP hanging off me and went downtown with my friends. I ripped off some pieces and lit it on fire in front of some people. That was last summer though.

I remember when I was younger I wrapped myself in TP and acted like a mummy for a day. My grandpa took a picture of me.

For my makeup I put on a light brown eye shadow with a dark maroon purple over it in the crease of my eyelid. I did a little blending then put a streak of white over that on my brow line. I put some liquid eyeliner on the top of my eye and then put fake eyelashes on, as well as on my bottom lashline too. I also put on some red lipstick. For my eye shadow I used Urban Decay Underground for my brown, a mix of Urban Decay Shag, Fishnet, and Ransom to create the dark maroon purple, and Revlon Glistening Snow for white. My eyeliner is black by Revlon, my fake eyelashes were from the drug store, and my lipstick is Love That Red by Revlon.

This isn't a very efficient way to choke yourself.

I can be a transvestite from Rocky or just totally 80s.

This is the process of taking my hair out.

That paint for your hair makes your hair super crunchy and hard, like a deep fried errection.

I could rock this new hairstyle.

I would go out like this, with that same expression on my face.

I look like Medusa.

I look like a Harajuku girl.

Even better, I look like a character from Final Fantasy.

I'm terrified my the hair.

Oh god, it's everywhere. It's eating me. The guy from Troll 2 was there and he said "They're eating her, and then they're going to eat me! Oh my god......"

This is when my hair was finally down. I look like a scene girl before she sprays a can of Aquanet in her hair.

A scene girl without hairspray is just emo. So does that mean I look emo. This is not an SAT question.

Rocky Horror and Other Pictures

This is a child with Strabismus, otherwise known as a lazy eye. I believe I have a slight lazy eye because in some of my pictures one of my eyes are slightly displaced, but no one can tell unless I point it out. This is probably why I have a vacant stare of the dead most of the time.

This, of course, is exaggerated.

After the fashion show I was in, I just rubbed off most of my makeup and acted like a jackass.

I have always enjoyed looking like I have a vision problem.

Does this make you feel uncomfortable, like I'll stalk you to your house and stare at you until you urinate on yourself?

This is Cynthia from Cynthia Plaster Caster. She was quite the big deal back in the late 60s/early 70s for making plaster casts of famous rock star penises. The most famous, hands down, is her cast of Jimi Hendrix's huge dick. Damn! She's still at it to this day, and even casts famous female musician's breasts. The breast cast of Karen O is pretty awesome.

I'm debating weather or not I have the balls (or breasts in this matter) to get plaster casted.

The GTOs, a band formed by Frank Zappa, was in my opinion the prerequisite for 'The Runaways'. Pamela Des Barres (center), was a member of the group until they're dimise. Pamela Des Barres became famous later by writing the book 'I'm With The Band' on her experiences as a groupie. She talked about laying Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Mick Jagger, Gram Parsons, and Noel Redding. Pretty impressive. Too bad she didn't have any plaster.

GTO stood for Girls Together Outrageously (rumored to actually be orally).

Both versions on the acronym are plausible.

I regret never hosting an awkward makeout party when I was younger. Maybe I could still do it but I wouldn't do anything but sit there awkwardly. I'm sorry that there's no hot people like Pamela Des Barres anymore, and if there are they wouldn't want to make out with me, man, woman, beast, plant formation. I can relate Mike Birbiglia!

"I've done so much coke I can't feel my forehead, man."

Genuine artist.

I want to bleech the shit out of my hair until it's dead too.

Brigid "Polk" Berlin - Mother Superior of Warhol

Brigid liked to put ink on her and others boobs and press them on paper. She also had her famous book of cock that was a notebook of sketches of different men's quivering members. No wonder it was so believable when Andy lied to the press and said all his painting were actually done by Brigid. Leonard Cohen's in her book of cock, but he doesn't have any cock drawing on his page. It merely says "Let me be the shy one in your book."

The GTOs can be female drag queens.

These are actual drag queens.

Now that's what I call a party.

Rocky Horror Picture Show is tomorrow and I'm going to have the best costume. As to not put myself in jeopardy for the costume contest I will not reveal my costume until a later date. I recommend everyone in the area go.

Here are some great pictures I found.
