Dear Nurse Ansalong:

  • My boyfriend keeps borrowing my stockings and refuses to stop. What should I do?

  • My family doesn't accept me. What should I do?

  • I got screwed over by my "friends" at my theatre. I can no longer perfrom at a show I worked so hard to build up. Do you have any suggestions on
    how I should get revenge?


  • I am in love with a very gay transvestite. I am a 14 year old girl and I think about him day and night.

  • I have just been offered a part as Columbia in the local cast and I really really really want to do it, but my parents don't want to let me cuz I'm 13.

  • I'm desperately aching for this guy. The problem is he's a grade older...

  • I'm having trouble getting a cast together. Do you have any suggestions?

  • My parents are totaly out of Rocky Horror. I'm 13 2/3 years old, and my Mom and Dad think it's just a phase. How do I make my parents understand? And please don't just say sit down and talk to them. I've tried.

  • How do I get my Rocky Horror back once I have loaned it out? It's been gone 6 months.

  • I love RHPS a lot, in fact I'm crazy about it! However, I'd never heard of Shock Treatment until I came to this web site. What is it? What is it about? I'd watch the movie and find out on my own, but I've checked all of my local movie places and they don't have it! PLEASE HELP ME GET A CLUE!!!

  • I told my two best friends that I am gay, and now, whenever I try to talk to them, they think I'm trying to pick them up. I told them that they're still just my friends, but they don't seem to hear.

  • This is a kind of touchy thing. I am 28 and I am in love with a 37 year old who is about to be "devirginized" at our next show. She has said that RHPS is something that she "knew" she wouldn't be into, but she's coming to my cast's production. One of my "fans" is not quite 16 yet and I recieve letters from her once a week. She lives in a town two hours' drive from here. She sounds like a very mature individual in spite of her age. (I didn't find out until recently) She has already declared a trust in me to the point of confiding her darkest secrets. She is dying to meet me and, I think, wants to spend a night with me at my place. I do want to meet her as well, but I'm afraid of 1) what the girl I'm in love with would think, 2) what this young girl would come away thinking, and 3) what her parents would think if they found out. I don't want to have sex with this girl or anything, but it appears she really needs a friend. How do I handle this? I really want to help without a hassle.

  • My mother is not letting me go to Rocky because she thinks I'm too young and it's corrupting me. I'm 15. How can I convince her otherwise?

  • Do you know why "Sword Of Damocles" and "Planet Schmanet Janet" are not in the movie soundtrack? Also, what exactly is Frank's mission when Riff points out to him that his "mission is a failure"?

  • I think I'm a sinner and I just think I need help.

  • I am 12 years old, and I am definately a Franky fan. The problem is, I want to go to Rocky at least once a month, and I am pretty sure they do not want to go to Rocky at 11:00 at night and then pick me up again at 3:00am. I am also pretty sure that they would not want some stranger taking me home from the cast or something. What can I do?

  • I heard that Richard O'Brien is going to be in the new "Spice Girls" movie. Is this true, and, if so, what part does he play?

  • I love RHPS, but my parents don't agree. It seems like they have found a way to insult it and it's audiences in every possible way. They have taken me once and I want to go every weekend so bad it might kill me, especially with them ruining my life. Talking doesn't work. They consider it "socially inacceptable, especially for a 13 year old" and that is a direct quote from them. Not only do I want to go so bad, but I would kill to be in the cast, which has an opening at the moment. I have done everything from explaining calmly and sweetly why I need to do this to being an absolute bitch. Help please!! I have no idea what to do. :-(

  • I often fantasize about the characters in RHPS. One time, I told my boyfriend that sometimes, when we are making love, I think about them. And, half kidding and half serious, I asked him if he would mind dressing up as one of the characters, preferably Riff with me as Magenta. He became very offeneded and we haven't so much as kissed for two weeks. Can you help?

  • I have a lot of trouble talking to girls because I'm shy. How do I build confidence?

  • I am completely obsessed with a fellow cast member. I see him every week and we are not exactly close but we are friends. I know we will never be anything more than friends, and now it's getting too painful to go to Rocky anymore and see him. What should I do? What should I say? What should I wear?

  • Richard O'Brien was married to Kimi Wong and they had one son, Linus. But I heard that he has another son not by Kimi. Where did he come from?

  • Is the soundtrack to Shock Treatment available and is there a listing for Rocky and Shock Treatment conventions?

  • I am a big fan of Little Nell. I was checking up on her recent exploits and discovered that she owns a bar in New York. Is this true, and, if so, where is it?

  • My girlfriend said that I'm "one from the vaults" in bed. What can I do??

  • There is not a single theatre in Idaho that plays Rocky Horror, and being without vehicle, I'm afraid i shall never "go all the way". Help please...

  • I'm 14, a huge Rocky and ST fan, and I've been seeing this guy for two months. He's going to Scotland in four days and he won't make an effort to see me. We talk on the phone but I haven't seen him in two weeks. Have I lost him already?

  • Do you know if Ritz is ever coming back to New York City?? What's going on with Disgacefully Yours??

  • Where on earth do you get fishnets for suspenders that don't rip during a wild night at the show??

  • I heard that there is a Rocky Horror convention coming up in New York. Do you have any info?

  • I have acted as Columbia in a cast for a long time. Recently, our theatre kicked us out. How can we act again?

  • I love RHPS and ST, but there are no theatres near me that plays either. So, I thought about starting a petition in my local towns. I am 15, and nobody takes me seriously. Do you think this will work?

  • What should I do if I were beaten up by a person whose in the Rocky cast in my town, aside from calling the police?

  • I've just turned 13, have no life except for watching Rocky Horror, and I have never seen it anywhere else than home. My life is boring. I wish I could have a boyfriend and I wish that my life would be more exciting.

  • How in the hell do you use the RHPS news group?

  • Why do they sometimes call Patricia Quinn "Lady Patricia Stevens"?

  • I am 15, and I have an immature 14 year old. He recently started saying "I love you." and I DO NOT feel the same way. I need a way to tell him how I feel without hurting him.

  • We recently started an RHPS cast, but it seems like more than half leave after the Time Warp. So, I'm aking for some ideas on how to really grope their interest into staying.

  • I'm 17 years old, gay, and I have cheated on my boyfriend. My boyfriend is totally faithful. I feel so guilty. What do I do? I still want to be with my boyfriend, but I can't tell him because he might break it off.

  • I recently began telling people that I am bisexual. Most of my friends have been really good and understanding about it, but some of my friends of the same sex think that I am always coming on to them when I am not. Also, I have gotten a lot of harrassements and threats. What should I do to help people understand that I am still myself, just with different preferences?

  • I own RHPS on video and want to see it in the theatre, but the nearest show is an hour away in a big city. I'm trying to get a theatre in our area to show it, but I haven't recieved a response. It's so frustrating. What can we do to get more people to see it and tell the theatres that they want them to play it?

  • Where can I find the RHPS movie on CD? Or is there such a thing?

  • Is it okay to take pictures off of someone's home page without their permission if there is nothing on the page telling you not to? Or if you put a link to their page on yours?

  • I recently read about Richard O'Brien's musical play, "Disgracefully Yours", at the Fan Club site. Does it still play? If so, where?

  • Sex... Overrated or as good as they say? I have been going out with this guy for 2 months now. We are really close, but it seems like all he wants to do when we are together is make love. I'm not a piece of meat. Also, he never holds my hand, kisses, or hugs me in public. How can I get him more interested in my mind than my body and not be such a closet-case?

  • I feel awful and depressed about the slightest things. Everything that happens to me is a metaphor for my social shortcomings. Suicide is never an option because I want to be famous later in life, but that is sometimes the only thing that keeps me here. And I can't talk to my friends. I'm beginning to feel like they leave me out of everything.

  • My little sister won't leave me alone. She tags along with everything I do. My parents just say, "Oh it's just cuz she looks up to you. Set a good example." It makes me want to throw up! How do I get her off my back without punching her lights out?

  • I am totally in love with my best friend, but he is straight. I think about him 24/7 and I love our friendship, but I love him too. Should I tell him how I feel?

  • A lot of people that I talk to say that Richard O'Brien is gay. Is that not a confirmed fact?

  • I've seen online thousands of times online thousands of times that the Seven Dwarves are in Rocky Horror, but I can't find the scene. I was just curious as to what scene it was.

  • I'm a gay teen and I'm not ready to come out of the closet yet. The other day, one of my friends caught me in a gay and lesbian chat room. Now he is telling people!!! What should I do?

  • In the movie Shock Treatment, why does everyone start to refer to Cosmo as "Mac" about halfway throught the movie?

  • I am in love with a girl I know, but she seems completely not interested except to be a sometimes friend. What should I do?

  • I have this computer that can print a picture out on a kind of paper that can put the picture on a t-shirt. Should I put the copyright on the t-shirt or do I not have to?

  • The Tower Theatre, where I direct our Rocky cast, has limited it's showings to twice a year, instead of twice a month. What can I do to find another theatre to play the show?

  • I am becoming very paranoid about everything. I have trouble leaving the house at times. What should I do?

  • During one of the scenes in RHPS, Riff Raff and Magenta threaten Rocky with the candles and scare him into running away. My friends and I don't understand why they did that! Could you help us? Also, why was Eddie in the freezer?

  • One of my good friends hangs out with someone I really don't like. It's not because of anything personal, just because he is a creepy sort I normally wouldn't associate with. My friend thinks the world of him, and they have been friends longer than we have. I don't know what to do, and I am worried because this creep is no good and sometimes causes my friend to do bad things.

  • I'm having a huge problem! I'm in love with this boy who happens to be related to me. We're not blood related or anything so we have fooled around a couple of times. He tells me all the time that he cares for me and that he can give me everything I want but he's not sure what he wants. I'm 16 and he's turning 20 in a couple of days. He also just broke up with his girlfriend a couple of weeks ago. Should I stay by him and wait or should I back off and just stay friends with him? HELP!!!!!

  • Do you know anything about the 25th Rocky convention, such as where?

  • I have liked this guy who lives down the road for the past year. I flirt with him whenever we're together, and my parents aren't around, and he occasionly flirts back. We're close friends, and I realize this could ruin our friendship. But, as I write this, I think he has a crush on my other friend. "Aur" cheats on her boyfriends. To her they are nothing more than humans of the opposite sex to hold hands and make out with. HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I was watching Rocky once and I realized something: you either love this movie, or you hate it with a passion! What do you think it is about this movie that draws us to it?

  • I have a very good friend who has had serious health problems. He had to undergo a massive heart operation when he was only 14. Now he is 19 and he is fine, but I recently found out that he is only expected to live to be 24 or 25. That is only 5 years away. I am terribly upset by this, but I don't know what to do. It doesn't seem to bother him, but I think about it constantly. Plus, he takes unnecessary risks, like drinking, and he almost died a while back because of it. What should I do?

  • Is Tim Curry gay? And even if he is, is there any way of meeting him?

  • I know that you have to e-mail a person if you want to use a picture from their web page on yours, but who do you mail if you have seen the same picture on many different pages?

  • I cannot find Shock Treatment anywhere. The video rental place I go to has every movie since the beginning of time but! I know not very many copies were made, but still, can you help me? Also, is it true Richard O'Brien is in the process of writing a true sequel to Rocky, not a kind-of-sort-of like ST?

  • Was Richard O'Brien born in New Zealand or England?

  • I am 21 and I am quite infatuated with someone who is 25 years older than me. He is also married. However, he appears to be interested in me. Should I give it up now before I get hurt?

  • I'm 15 and my Dad has nothing against Rocky (yea!), but he does have a problem with the people I go with. He doesn't trust any of them. He understands why I like it, but the only way he lets me go is if one of my "good" friends ( ie the people I've known for years) goes with me. The problem? Their parents don't let them go. What do I do?
