Michael Rennie was ill
The Day the Earth Stood Stll
And Flash Gordon was there
in silver underwear
Claude Rains was The Invisible Man
Then something went wrong
For Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in the celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace
It Came From Outer Space
And this is how the message ran...

What was meant to be a quartet, turned into a duo...but, I'm happy to do my first collaboration with my pal, the stunning Monika from Rocaille Writes. So, why don't you pay her a visit, or maybe a bite and checkout her Columbia.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show holds a special place in my heart.

As a kid, in the month leading up to Halloween, I would watch snippets of the film (particularly those of the time warp scene). I was captivated by the makeup, costumes, music, and overall dark, yet camp, tone of Rocky.

When I finally watched the entire film, it tapped into my subconscious, and I was hooked. I studied the movie incessantly, participated in the midnight showings, and in my senior year of high school, I got to play one of my favorite characters, Magenta, in our group musical ensemble. I swore, if I didn't get the part, I was going to have to Tanya Harding someone.

It's been well over 10 years since I've seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show. So, in remembrance of the spirit of the characters and film, I popped in the DVD...and this girl still has it! I remembered everything; reciting each line, and singing along, as I did things around my apartment. A fun way to get your cleaning done.


No need to adjust your monitors, this is my natural hair. I just combed out the curls to give it that Magenta flare. 

Also, this collaboration was very last minute. So, I wasn't able to get a costume mailed out to me on time.
