For those of you who didn’t already know and who actually care… The picture from Saturday was Josh’s family and I all dressed as characters from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Need more explanation? I thought so.
My super cool and wonderful mom-in-law LOVES that movie and has passed on that love to her children, ME, and lots of other people. As a teen she used to attend the midnight showings all the time and dress up as Frankie.
About a year ago, Jeremy and Julie had the BEST IDEA EVER: to have a surprise private screening for her 50th birthday party. It was to be complete with costumes and the props and scripts (there is a lot that you yell and throw during the movie).
The whole family jumped on board and somehow we managed to pull it off. It was truly awesome! Kathy loved it and I hope she will remember it for a long, long, time. I think she will!
Look how happy she was when she walked in...
The wonderful cake. It said "50 Years of Absolute Pleasure" "Don't Dream It... Be It" and had a picture of teen Kathy dressed as Frankie.
The prop bags had the same picture as the cake and then Kelleen brought this awesome blow up of the same picture!
Scott and Kathy dressed as Rocky Horror and Frank. (Or there much more modest counterparts as no one wanted to see Scott in a gold speedo or Kathy in a corset and panties, no offense to them, but their kids were there and all).
Jason and Noelle as Brad and Janet.
Jeremy and Julie as Riff Raff and Magenta.
Josh and I as Eddie and Columbia. Quite fitting costumes. Eddie is a rock and roll lover and Columbia is, as Josh put it, "a hyper, little tap dancer, obsessed with her man." Apparently that's what I am.
Our good friend Jordan and his girlfriend. It was pretty unanimous that he had the best costume. He also stayed in character the whole time and it was hilarious!
The whole gang that attended. Thank you ALL!
Josh and I again. Because this is my blog and all and I think we look so awesome!
For those of you who haven’t seen the movie. I HIGHLY recommend it. However, for those of my more conservative friends… um, you have been warned!
