Anyway, that was a great night of nostalgia. Rocky Horror was a mainstay of my life from 1976 through 1980, and was the thing that stayed with me as I made the transition from New York to L.A. I made many friends via those weekend shows, a few of whom I'm still friends with today.

I'm glad Riff-Raff has a commemorative statue.

Psst. The Balboa is in Newport, The Art is ib Long Beach.

Today must be the day of celebrity statuary - I came across this one in Oviedo Spain:

Which one is the statue?

Aww, I recently wrote a piece on Underdog, so the person that first popped to mind was a whole 'nother Riff-Raff.

(and with that, I've completely dated myself)

Of course, I have many fond memories of the RHPS Riff Raff as well.

I think it is the one that looks more weather beaten - i.e., the one on the right.

I was just thinking how good Woody looked.

I love the irony of someone named "Woody" being made into a statue.

Was Riff Raff wearing high heels in the movie??? Somehow I don't remember ever seeing his shoes.

From the Anal Retentive Rocky Horror Costume List

Quote:

Spike-heel patent black ankle boots with silver-backed cuffs cut into points ("elf booties"). Riff's have at least five points; they curve out slightly.
You can make lamé-backed cuffs and velcro them over a pair of boots.
