Next weekend, the on-campus theater will have their annual showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This will be my second time seeing it, so this time, I’d like to go in costume. Specifically, I’m thinking of doing the spaceman costume Riff Raff wears at the end: You know, when he’s wielding the laser capable of firing a beam of pure antimatter. I’m confident in my ability to make the costume, except I need to have some sort of guide to work from, and I can’t seem to find any pictures of him in that costume online. Can anyone point me towards one?
How 'bout full costuming directions? Huh? Will that do ya, Mr. Googlephobic?
is this it?
Eh, WN’s is better
Those will do nicely, thanks. May I ask what combination of terms you used to Google them? I’m not Googlephobic; I just couldn’t find anything useful.
I suspect you were trying too hard. I google image searched for Riff Raff and got this page. Clicking on the first picture in the second row got me to the page I linked to you.
Same for me, except I used Dogpile.com set to image search and typed in Riff Raff. Most on the first page of results were of the tux-like suit, but a very few were of the space outfit.
You needed to be searching in the image section of your fave search engine, not on the webpage section. (In case you weren’t.)
The best version of this that I saw had Riff Raff wearing a plastic banana on his head. It was perfect.
College kids today! Seeing it for the second time? Annual showing?
When I was in college, I’d gone to Rocky six times before the end of Fall Quarter of my Freshman year. And it was on at midnight every single blessed Friday and Saturday. They’d been showing it twice a week for 11 years.
Now get offa my lawn!
Next stop: Forbidden Zone!
(look it up)
Yeah annual showing is kinda sad. They still show it every Saturday in Tucson.
Huh. I was starting from the assumption that “Riff Raff” was too common a phrase by itself, so added “Rocky Horror Picture Show” to my search (which was, in fact, Google Images). Except now, oddly, when I tried it, I get more results, including some of the spaceman suit.
Revalation: I think I might have had Safe Search on, for the search I did before. Even though the images I’m looking for themselves might be safe, I suppose it’s likely that other things on the same page might possibly not be.
And if it’s any consolation about Kids These Days, the same on-campus theater has a night every week sponsored by the local erotica/novelty shop, with a trivia quiz before the movie with prizes from said shop (things like a penis-shaped squirt gun, or lollipops shaped like a pair of boobs). And at the end of every semester, they show an out-and-out porno.
They would probably be more successful if they showed an in-and-out porno.
You mean a 3 headed dildo?
Not only that, but the last couple of times I saw it (once about 3 years ago, once about ten years before that), they had rules in the theatre! No toast, no squirt guns, no toilet paper, no getting out of your seat, no nothing. When I was going to see it weekly (way, way back - I went to a 2nd anniversary showing), we brought in grocery bags of gear and spent half the show in the aisles.
What is the world coming to!?!
