Rocky Horror on Saturday
I'm so excited! I hope I fit on my sexy underwear... I've been on an extreme diet for 3 weeks.

Anyway, the party will be great, as always.

I'm so looking forward to it!!

Now, I think I have to ask a question or something, so, are you excited, jealous or happy for me?

I pity you
Having seen Captain FloydTribute's rancid girlfriend's profile this week, that's my lifetime's supply of ropey old trannies, thank you very much.

Really?
But the show is so much fun! And the party before and after too.

I didn't want to go 2 years ago (Rocky virgin) but now I can't wait.

It's so not me
The phrases 'audience particiaption' and 'dressing up in a costume' fill my heart with dread. I just cannot stand that sort of thing.

Don't let me put a downer on the experience though - I'll bet you have the time of your life.

I'm with Monty

In the words of Duncan Bannatyne, whenever fancy dress is involved "I'm out."

Oh well
I'm sure I was more scared than you 2 years ago. And I was going with a bunch of people of whom I only knew one, and we were work peers. I was shit scared. And I did have the time of my life.

You should try!

It's not about fear

I honestly cannot be bothered to source and spend stupid money on a costume, I cannot see the point beyond the first 5 mins where everyone is like "wow you came as the AIDS virus hilarious".

It doesn't have to be expensive
A lab coat or some old clothes are good too. The only reason I'm wearing what I'm wearing is because my mr. insisted. I'm a bit too shy, though.

the one exception is Himmler
I'd happily go to a party dressed as Himmler. Whether it was a fancy dress party or not.

I'll have to invite you to my next party, then
Are you around Manchester on the 23rd of January?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:45, Reply)

I'm in London
I'm tempted to say I'd come up, though, if only for the amusement I'd get from the train journey in full costume....
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:50, Reply)

If that's not enough
There'll be a whole Manchester Winter Ale Festival waiting for you (and my birthday party, too)

I'm rather tempted

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 18:06, Reply)

Gwangwangwangwangwan.
I'm going *winks*


Just realised that might put you off.

I'd rather try
stabbing myself in the groin repeatedly with needles, like Albert Fish.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:42, Reply)

If you're going to be like that
I won't try to convince you anymore. But it's fun.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:43, Reply)

You say that

But I had this argument with the misses on Halloween, it'll be fun she said, no effort...

...3 hours later, Asda, Tesco and several fancy dress shops later, I was poor pissed off and bored.

That was time I'll never get back, fancy dress stole it from me!
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:46, Reply)

That's outrageous!
No, I spend more like 30 min looking for it. I hate shopping. The only reason I didn't buy it online was that I had to try it on.

In all truth
I was just looking for an excuse to mention Albert Fish.

But also in truth, nothing you can say will prevent me from find the whole concept embarrassing. Musical theatre of any kind is anathema to me - musical theatre with costumes and joining in?

*shudders*
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:48, Reply)

Oh
But you'll be so drunk by the time you get dressed up and onto the theatre that you won't care.

As I said, I won't try to convince you anymore. Let's talk about that Albert Fish chap.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:50, Reply)

He ate a boy's arse, once.
As well as being a cannibal and general maniac, he was once found by his son wanking whilst crying and screaming the Lord's Prayer.


What a guy!
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 18:02, Reply)

He did more than that
But I get sick thinking about it, so maybe it wasn't good to talk about it.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 9 Dec 2009, 18:05, Reply)

OK. No more Fish, today.
Actually I'm off home now, so I bid you a good evening.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 18:07, Reply)

Musicals are anti-art

They suck the reason out of people and the beautify, power and passion from music.


And tell me this, yeah, how when more than one character have just met do they all know the words, tune and dance moves to a song, eh, eh...and while I'm at it, if you want to fight, fucking fight don't fucking dance you fucking nonces.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:52, Reply)

That doesn't happen in RH
The ones that sing together know each other from before. The new ones sing alone.

But some musicals are good. I liked The Producers (the new one)

I to my eternal shame was taken to see Mama Mia the musical

It was like a hell based on awful weddings full of peadophilic uncles, drunks desperate aunts and cunt cousins wanking into the rice pudding.

I've never been the same since...
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 17:53, Reply)

I agree
But that's not the musical, it's the whole story that is awful.

*feels your pain*

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 18:03, Reply)

Oddly enough
I know a close friend of one of the female leads in "Mama Mia" on Broadway. She went to see it and got to go backstage with her friend and had a blast, and loved the production. She offered to take me to NYC to see it.

I think she may have been rather upset by my strongly negative response.

So...
...do we get to see pics of you in this sexy underwear?
( The Resident Loon Not a demographic. Do not measure., Wed 9 Dec 2009, 19:21, Reply)

You may meet my green satin basqe/suspender ensemble there so say hello from me.
Years ago, I came into some money - small win or birthday, can't remember - and spent it on a set of sexy green* satin underwear.

Within a couple of months I was pregnant, wonder how that happened eh? and I lent the basque etc to my niece for a RH night.

As far as I know it still turns out regularly for a sing-song. The baby'd be 30 next year.

*I'm obsessed with green so that may have swung the decision.

I hate musicals
But love Rocky Horror. Been to see it four times, and each time I did the same thing - dusted down an old tail coat I bought in a charity shop, wore suitably tight black jeans and a white shirt, and went as Riff Raff. Kept me from getting my head stoved in at the pub before and after.

Truth was, it wasn't much different to what I normally wore in those days anyway...
