My college put on quite the production for Rocky Horror Day, going all-out with a fully cross-dressed cast of actors performing in the largest venue on campus, full live band, light show, the works. I had been vaguely aware of the movie beforehand, but never gave it much thought otherwise.
This year, though, I was dating a girl who would play a key role, and she was intent on making me participate as much as possible. Ashley lived with several other girls in a shared suite in a co-ed building on campus, so I would often hang out at her place. She was a petite little firecracker, and the other girls were as varied as you can imagine – tall leggy blond, a bitchy brunette, and a thicker but no less sexy dark-haired girl, and that was just her suitemates. While hanging out in her room a few days before, I heard the tall blond, Jess, mention that finding all the clothes was going well. This didn’t really register as they were always talking fashion, makeup, etc and I was just there to vibe out and get away from my repressed roommate.
