I remember taking toast and loo roll but don't know why.

It only leads to trouble...
and seat wetting

I wore velvet hotpants and fishnets and such high heels that I needed support on either side to get anywhere.

Was friends with the outcast boy at school who dressed up in womens clothes and went to see it every week.

methinks useful outlet then Boco, yes?

My dad worked at a theatre and we went to see it a few times as teens.

Poledra · 29/02/2008 23:22

BTW, went to Rocky Horror in Edinburgh, dressed up stockings, underwear and lab coat, back-combed hair, white face etc etc. Was turned away from the pub next door to the theatre for inappropriate dress

My all-time fav is: 'Fuck Me, Fuck Me, Fuck Me! I want to be slutty! Whip me, beat me, mistreat me, Creature of the Night.'

expatinscotland · 29/02/2008 23:25

You should have just gotten mega stoned in the cinema instead, Pol.

Then you could just skip the pub and hit the kebab shop .

Poledra · 29/02/2008 23:46

'Tweren't the cinema expat - was the live theatre show. Trying to remember who was in it, but can't. Did see Richard O'Brien in 'Disgracefully Yours' in Edin a couple of years later

onebatmother · 29/02/2008 23:48

expat: you could not be more right about your all-time fav.

She was disturbingly sexy, Susan Sarandon wasn't she, for someone who went on to do death-penalty /nun/ wife-beating type films?

Fantastic though they all are. I love her.
And what am I saying, Thelma and Louise was v .. you know.

boco.. yes, seat-wetting.

Did you take newspaper for the rain scene?

but toast? ..

PrettyCandles · 29/02/2008 23:51

So, how many times did you go?

I think I went to the Baker St show about half-a-dozen times, plus several more times at other venues.

And I was always sober, never stoned! Am I a sad old saddo to have enjoyed it so much without the aid of 'stimulants'?

expatinscotland · 29/02/2008 23:51

Well, I definitely had a cigarette lighter on me for every showing - just not for fags .

PrettyCandles · 29/02/2008 23:52

Yes, toast! Frankenfurter proposes a toast at dinner ("Meatloaf!")

onebatmother · 29/02/2008 23:53

no, I wasn't stoned either pc.. over-stimulated by sudden exposure to ambi-sexuality, perhaps, but not stoned.

Um. Probably at least 12 times to Baker St.

he stared at me and I felt ashamed..

It was my first ever exposure to ambi-sexuality. I was 18 and very innocent .

yes..

Why so swoony, do you think? Given that he looked like a cross between Freddie Mercury, Brian Eno, and the Boots 17 counter circa 1978?

Actually, the Richard O'Brien bald character was Brian Eno.
