Red Hat Rocky Horror Costume

I put together a new, improved costume for The Rocky Horror Picture Show and I wore it to a Red Hat event in Sacramento. I'm not sure they "got" it, because I didn't even get an honorable mention. I certainly got noticed, however.

So far, so demure.

Here am I in all my tarted-up glory next to the very elegant Miss Carolina 1963. In spite of my 4" heels, she still topped me by several inches. She is Jeanne Robertson, a very, very funny motivational speaker. On Saturday night, she had us laughing ourselves incontinent. I need to stand next to tall, beautiful women more often - this is actually a fairly decent picture of me.



The Shriners provided policing for the event. I got questioned pretty closely and cited for numerous offenses. Fortunately Charlotte was present and bailed me out of jail.

I also got my bottom pinched by the guy on my right. Lee warned me I presented a tempting target. The only other bottom on display at the event was a fake pink plastic one, worn by a dark angel with her skirt rucked up in back. She got the award for Funniest Costume, but I doubt anybody pinched her.
