  1. Fabulous Frank Fancy

    October 26, 2009 by Amy Hansford

    Another top tip for budding Franks out there has just arrived on my Student?s Guide to Rocky Horror Costumes radar.

    The Funny Rocker costume isn’t at all based on Frank N Furter from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Na uh. No sirree. Honest guvna. Either way, it’s no worse than the official Frank-n-bag ones that retail for around ?25 plus more for the wig and certainly better for your money.? dare say that the vest top would make a good starter base for a proper corset.

    With the postal strike I wouldn’t get your heart set on obtaining it by Halloween. But who says you can only do the Timewarp in October?

  2. October update

    October 18, 2009 by Amy Hansford

    It’s that time again where I realise I’ve not blogged for a month. My bad! So, what’s been going on in my life?

    I’ve been to see a fair few shows: Communicating Doors by Dunstable Rep to see my friend JJ playing a serial killer, The Stripper tto find it was lovely to see Richard O’Brien in something that wasn’t corsetted or gameshow related, and Rocky Horror at Milton Keynes, complete with a backstage tour. I got to see and play with all the props and costumes which was brilliant.

    After her death last summer, I finally put Mum’s house on the market. If anyone’s looking for a gorgeous one bedroom bungalow in Hillingdon in a nice area, do let me know.

    I started rehearsals for Jack and the Beanstalk with the Griffin Players in Luton. I’ve gone from a bratty younger sister to a dumb blonde – I’m very happy with that, although wearing lip gloss will be new for me. I’m pleased as I get a big hand in the comedy scenes. As for the slapstick ones, I think I’ve avoided being on the wrong end of a pie but not sure I’ll make it through the show’s run without ending up bumped and bruised. Another test of my abilities!
