The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (TV Movie 2. This remake attempts to stay true to the original. While the story line modifications are fitting the performances are lacking the emotion of the original. The musical performances also stay true to the original, which I enjoyed but it was very difficult to get over the overproduction of the vocal performances as it clearly highlights the lip syncing. I feel that if the vocal performances were recorded during filming that it would be much better. The acting lacks any emotion. It's like watching the cast going through the motions and running lines to an empty audience. I want to give a better rating, but this is not how we should be honouring a classic.

Search every photo you can find to get pictures of the costume you want to make from all angles. The folks at rhpscostumes on Live. Journal may have helpful tips. The color spacesuit picture and the picture of Riff on the throne in the RHPS Book, for example, are mirror images. Watch for costume details or people standing on the wrong side to tip you off. To use reversed images without confusion, get them un- reversed on a color copier or scan them and do it yourself. Scan or make color copies of any costume pictures you want to use for reference from cheaply- bound books like the RHPS Book. They're easier to refer to and will save wear on your book. Find a copy store that doesn't ask too many copyright questions- -smaller stores are better. What are some handy tricks I should know. I buy/make costume items? If you are making costumes, preshrink the fabric first. Otherwise, if possible, use strings of sequins from the trim department (cheap) or sequined material (expensive, and getting harder to find). In addition, the sticky stuff holding the stickers on will gum up your needle. Coat all edges with either nail polish (clear or black) or Aleene's Stop Fraying (usually stocked in fabric stores by the glue). It sticks to everything until it dries, and you shouldn't put it on items you will wash a lot, but it really works. The stuff in aerosol cans doesn't work nearly as well. Stop Fraying is also nice for treating the ends of strings of marabou or feathers you cut off a boa for trim. It's available in squares, strips, or by the yard, and in sew- on, self- adhesive, or iron- on versions. I prefer sew- on. Many fabrics will melt if ironed, and the self- adhesive velcro doesn't stay on well (and gums up the needle and thread if you try to stitch it on). Velcro is cheapest bought by the yard. It doesn't work. well for things that have to flex (like floor show gloves). For a while, people were recommending plastic embroidery screen to stiffen spacesuit wings, but eventually the little squares become visible as the vinyl is pressed against the screen. Binding tape can be very handy. What are some useful tricks for making the costumes? Find a friend or relative with a sewing machine. Sergers, which stitch two pieces of fabric together and also stitch over the edges, are great for fabrics that fray (like lam. As noted in 2) above, you want as many reference photos as possible before starting the project. This way all the little loose threads that stick out at the edges will be inside the strap, where you can't see them. Old sheets are especially nice because they don't tear (much) when you try them on. Newspaper is cheap and can be made as large as needed by taping pieces together. This will drive friends who sew from patterns crazy. Patterns are especially. Butterick's or Mc. Call's; they aim for the novice, and I'm sure Janet bought them : -). Patterns go on sale often; get on your local fabric store's mailing list and watch for specials. Buy a white fabric or art pencil. Regular pencil works fine on light fabrics - - it can usually be erased or wears off in time. Use pencil on the wrong side of the fabric (the side that won't show) just in case. Soap slivers can be used to draw on dark fabrics, but I've had problems with it rubbing off before I'm done cutting. Contrast stitching is best done by machine. What are some other supplies that can be helpful? White glue is useful for sticking lam. Completely saturate the fabric with the glue, then smooth it on, being sure to avoid wrinkles. My spacesuit buckle is made of wooden molding (very long lengths of. It's clear, flexible, non- water soluble, and will glue just about anything to anything. It can also be. used to keep fabric from ravelling. Clear nail polish can be used to stop runs in your stockings (use base coat, whichisn't shiny). Hairspray helps stop runs, too. Scotchgard.

Bobby pins are good emergency supplies, too. Do I have to make stuff myself? No- -you can pay someone else. Learn to look at stuff and ask yourself how you can make a prop out of it. Props needn't be perfect; I had a gong for years that was a spray- painted frying pan cover, and I saw a woman get applause once with a . How do I take care of this stuff? Costuming and Care Tips, assembled by a group of belly dancers, has some good discussion on things like the colorfastness of sequins, etc. Purple sequins seem the most prone to decoloring, so I coat them with purple nailpolish after sewing them on.
