"Put your hands on your hips...and pull your knees in tight!"

My day sucked so let's talk about something FUN!

The fabulous bachelorette party is this weekend and I've got an important decision to make. Which Rocky Horror Picture Show character should I be?? That's right, we're going to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I want to dress up like all the crazy people but I can't seem to decide which character suits my fashion sense. Now my first choice is....

Dr. Frank-en-Furter......the STAR of the show.


but then I thought, maybe that's a little too naked. I don't want to give it all away, especially not with the likes that atted RHPS viewings at midnight. Plus, technically he's a guy so that could get confusing. I don't really want people to think that I'm a girl who looks like a guy dressed as a girl...that's too much for drunk people.

So my next choice was...........

The chick in the right of the picture....





But then I would have to wear the scary white face paint and part my hair down the middle. Unfortunately, parting my hair down the middle makes my face look fat. Also, I don't really want to go buy a sparkly bra because...well because I'm neither a hooker or a stripper so it would be a one-time-only purchase which is not particularly economical when calculating cost per wear.

The best option is.........




Columbia...because she has pretty red hair but where on earth would I find a sequined outfit like that? I'm definitely too cheap and lazy for that one. I'm sure my mom would make me one covered in hot glue if I wanted but I only have 4 days and her projects take at least 3 years to finish.

Therefore, I will combine all three of these characters in a pinch. Feather boa from Frankenfurter + face paint and frizzy hair from that chick + top hat and sparkly bowtie from Columbia. Obviously those are only accessories so for my actual costume, I will wear my pajamas because the movie is at midnight which is way past my bedtime and I need full ease of movement and range of motion to do the Time Warp.
