Dear Nurse Ansalong: Dear Nurse Ansalong: I would like to know if there is an underlying message to the RHPS? What do you think? I am young, like 14, and I am having all these problems with my Mom. She yells at me for no reason and she makes me feel like I am nothing. Most of my friends that are girls are involved in violent relationships and, whenever I try to express anything other than friendship, they seem nervous. I'm considering just calling High School a social loss and waiting until after to find a more open group of friends. What do you think I should do? Also you never answered my old "could fans fund Revenge of the Old Queen?" question. I love 2 girls and they "like" me. But they dont even know the other one exists. Should I tell them? At the end of Eddie's song, when Frank is locking Rocky in the cage, I can clearly hear a woman screaming something in the background. So my question is. . . who the hell is screaming? I have a crush on this guy and he knows that i do! And I am so shy to even say hello to him when I see him at school! But then the summer came and he never called me anymore! I don't know if he does or not like me! And my question is; Does he still like me, and if he doesn't, how do I make him like me again?? My boyfriend and I broke up after having a fight that was stupid. He basically told me that, for the 2 years we were dating, I ignored whatever he told about what we were fighting about. I would never do anything to hurt him and he knows that he is just running. Do I need to get him back or do I walk away? I am so very curious about REVENGE OF THE OLD QUEEN! I've heard form a lot of people that have read the script, but they won't tell me where they read it! Can you PLEASE tell me wher to find a ROTOQ script? 1) Where is Denton supposed to be located? 2) How did the Crim get those pictures of Brad and Janet when they were in the church and on the outside? 3)Why does Riff always yell at Magenta for laughing and stuff? In the original RHPS, when "Once in Awhile" was still part of it, Janet cries when Brad sings. It seems to me that everything between them is fixed, and that they are done with their cheating ways, yet Janet does Rocky right afterwards. Is this explained because the song was cut from the movie, or is there another reason? This makes Janet seem cruel rather than just driven by passion. In the movie SHOCK TREATMENT, who the hell was Rest Home Ricky? This is a really weird question but my friend and I have been puzzling over it. If you go to the ROCKY HORROR SHOW (the stage version) as a virgin, is that the equivalent of losing your virginity at the Rocky Horror movie? Or is it different for both versions? I've tried searching for a site on Peter Hinwood and his pictures, but I havent found anything outside of the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Do you know of any? I am a HUGE fan of Frank N Furter and have been told that I would be perfect for the part. The problem is I need a cast to join. I'm pretty sure I could find one in my area, so what I want to know is; What are the requirements for joining a cast? Is there a certain age/etc. you have to be? I have seen ST a lot of times, and I've never been able to catch Sal Piro's cameo as "guy on the phone." Can you tell me when he appears onscreen or what he's wearing or something? I used to have a crush on a girl in my school, however, after I got to know her, I realized I like her a lot more as a friend then I would as a girlfriend. My problem is that I still get nervous of looking like an idiot around her, and now people are starting to think I have a crush on her. Also, I am a bit of a closet crossdresser, but every time I "dress up", I feel guilty. What should I do about this, besides stop dressing up? I am an 18 year old female who is in love with a 15 year old boy. His mother has a problem with my age. We love each other very much, but, he does what his Mom says. I want to see him all the time but he can't, even though he wants to see me. What do I do? I want to be Janet Weiss for Halloween this year, but I don't know which costume to wear. Should I wear the dress from the beginning, in the underwear, the floor show or the black dress from SHOCK TREATMENT? I was wondering about the movie, what is the purpose of Frank seducing Brad and Janet? And what happens to Brad, Janet, Dr. Scott, Rocky, and Columbia when they are put in stine? Also, you have said that Brad is "confused" about what happens to him, then why doesn't he seem so confused when he gives in to Frank's advances in the bedroom scene? Why is it that I can never find any SHOCK TREATMENT MIDI files online? I'm a fan of RHPS but I feel hemmed in when it comes to particpating in the fun. I live in a small town, and the only shows are once a year at Halloween. Is there anything I can do to get a chance to play Frank? I love ROCKY HORROR, and I know I am obsessed. My friends think I am ridiculous and always roll their eyes or start to laugh when I talk about ROCKY HORROR (they dont like the movie) and it is really starting to annoy me. Now all I want to do is to get rid of them, but how do I do that without making a bad reputation for myself, and, if i successfully get rid of them, how do I make new friends? How could I get a local theater to play the RHPS? Is there a certain store where I can find the costumes for the RHPS? I have been to all the stores and I haven't been able to find that even remotely resmbles the costumes. 1) Although I am not old enough to get involved in my own cast, I want to know where can I find out about copyright requirements; 2) Is there any way to get in touch with someone who has posted a message here (Glor - if you see this, this is for you - email me at ; 3) Is there a cast performing in Melbourne, Australia? Is there some place I can find sheet music to the songs from REVENGE OF THE OLD QUEEN? There is this guy in work that I like, but he seems to be shy. How do I let him know I'm interested without being too forward? I keep hearing that the Seven Dwarves appear in the RHPS, but have watched closely over and over and have not seen them. Can you tell me where they are? I like this girl and she kinda likes me, but I want her to like me more than she does. I'm 14 and so is she. How can I get her to like me more and how can I get us into a relationship?? What is Janet's middle name? Is is Anne Marie, Margaret, or something else entirely? I've heard both, and I've never been able to catch the tiny little red print on the pictures in "The Denton Affair." I'm a 20 year old male that has had a crush on a female for many years. We stay in contact through email and things seem to be going okay. How can I show her that I still like her like I did when we first met? Any advice on how to make her mine? I was just wondering if Columbia was a Transylvanian because no one really knows. I have a problem being myself when I am around friends. I am scared they won't want to be my friends anymore, even though I know that they aren't like that. Just over a month ago, I was quite inebriated at a party and made out with a male friend of mine who was also inebriated. Now, after an awkward spell, we are friends again. Now, after assuring myself that there was nothing between us, and telling this to all my friends, I have developped quite the crush on this boy. Why does Rocky sound so different during the floorshow on the Audience Participation album? And why does Magenta sound so different during Toucha? The lyrics of "Sweet Transvestite" were running through my mind and I thought of a question: who, exactly, was the Candyman? Was Riff Raff maybe expecting a visit from Sammy Davis Jr? I like this girl and I want to ask her out, but how do I know if she likes me as a boyfriend or just a friend. I'm just shy and don't want to make a big mistake. So what do I do? I am 23, a closeted lesbian, and I just recently resaw THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Just like when I was 16, I have become a devoted fan. The thing is Tim's character has made me question my sexuality. I have become infatuated with Frank-n-Furter. I have also found myself as of late attracted to gay men, especially this one particular transvestite. It has made me begin to question my sexuality, something I thought I had laid to rest in my teens. What could this mean? I can't seem to have a real conversation with my sister. I try but she is incapable of thinking of anyone but herself. What should I do? I have a really big problem, I have lusted after this one guy for about 3 years now, and cannot get over him. I need to get over this guy! Any ideas? I've been in a long distance relationship for a couple of months. As I said I love him, but there's a whole new problem! I met this other guy, and he's totally awesome. Another plus is that he's here, now. I know I can't string Arron (that's the long-distance guy) like that, and I don't want to lead the new guy on. Any advice? In the Time Warp, there are 'conventionists' from all over the world, but I thought that Transylvanians were from the distant planet of Transexual (like Frank explains in 'Sweet Transvestite'). I am totally confused over this triviality. I am a shy person and I have a hard time talking to people I know. There is this guy I like, and I want to talk to him. Do you have any idea of what I should say? Do you think it's apropriate for a 12 year old like me to put on a production of ROCKY HORROR with my friends? We love the show and movie. We will take out the sex scenes between Frank and Janet, and Frank and Brad, and "Touch Me", but that's it. Is it OK? Where are the original costumes from RHPS and ST now? I realize they're probably not all in one place, but do you have any ideas about where they might be, like at Hard Rock Cafes? I'm in a ROCKY live cast that has been running for 5 years, members fading out, new ones coming in, and some coming back. We're not a huge cast. Recently, everyone has started to bicker over both the silliest things and things that really matter. What can I do to make my friends act their age, instead of like 10 year olds? I understand why Riff killed Frank, but why did he kill Columbia? Is that wrong to fall in love with a guy who's 7 years younger than me. I am 24. He's 17. In one of your replies you said that you could read what was written in "The Denton Affair". Where is it? I can't find it! HELP! Also, I think I am from Transylvania, as I have these urges to wear their clothes. What should I do?! I am a huge Columbia fan, and I was just wondering if Little Nell being in the RHPS and ST meant anything? So I am 15 and I totally like this guy that is on my local ROCKY cast. The trouble is, he's 18 and basically a whore. I really like him a lot, but what should I do? I try so hard to become a big Tim Curry fan, but I don't have the money to buy Tim things. I also try so hard to be a big ROCKY HORROR Fan, but everything is so hard to find and costs too much money. Please help because I want to be a fan just like everyone else. If you were to recast RHPS tomorrow (in time for release on the 25th anniversary), who would you choose? Why are Cosmo and Nation so nasty to Nurse Ansalong? As far as I can see - the only crime she has committed is being as happy as she is! Why is that? I have liked this guy since I was in eigth grade. I am now a junior, but he is a year older than me, so he is going to be gone soon. He is going to college in Oregon, and I live in New York state. So, after he is gone, I will never see him again. I don't think he knows me that well. What should I do? He'll be gone in a month! I am the director of a cast and we have a member who acts like they're the director. This person tells us all what we'll be doing, who will be who, if we'll use throw-ins, etc. It's getting to the point where nobody seems to listening to what I have to say. Any ideas for how I can reclaim my throne in Frank's castle? I am 17 years old and recently met this guy. I just told An that I really liked his brother and he started acting different around me. An and I have been friends for a few years now and I have told him stuff like this before and never did he act like this. Did I do something wrong by telling him I had feelings for his brother? 1)What is REVENGE OF THE OLD QUEEN about? 2) Is there some kind of conspiricy surrounding ROTOQ, cause no one will even begin to talk to me about it? I have three questions about Burt from Shock Treatment: 1) Why does he sleep upright? 2) Why doesn't he know what morning is? 3) Was he just faking blindness, and if so, why did he go to seeing? In ST, when the security guard turns on the lights to wake everybody up the next morning after "Lullaby", what is the meaning of the bird he holds up? Is it a reference to the albatross in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" that Betty attempts to recite for Judge Wright? And why does Betty freak out about it? Just the fact that it's a dead bird? I'm 14 and just infatuated with Susan Sarandon. I really want to write her a letter, but i dont know where to send it. Do you know if she has a fanclub or something that i can send it to? I like this guy and I really want him, but I dont know what to do. One of my friends told him I liked him, but he hasn't mentioned it to me. Does this mean he's not interested? Or should I just go for it? The problem is we're both really shy, so this is a huge problem. I'm really interested in starting a my own cast. I have most of the cast together, we have a theater, but there is just one problem. We don't have the film. Where can I get the film and are there any royalties or things like that to pay? What is the 'Rocky Porno Video Show'? I'm a young teen RHPS fan and I have a few questions that puzzled me about Rocky Horror. I mean, I love the film and have seen it, like, 21 times (but not in a theater yet, hopefully soon) but a couple things struck my curiosity. Does this relationship have a chance and what should I do to ease my mind on how she broke my heart really badly? I have a friend and, in the past 5 - 6 months, she has gotten into RHPS. However, it hasn't been very good. She's been going around acting like she knows more about the film than I do, talking about it like she has some degree in RHPS knowledge, etc. She's also being really hypocritical because last year she hated the film, said "Sweet T" was a stupid song and that she only liked Time Warp and Damnit Janet, and basically all-around slamming the film's plot, songs, acting and everything under the sun. I don't want to end our friendship, but she's really driving me insane! What should I do?! Do you have to be truthfully insane to be commited to Dentonvale or can you be commited of your own free will? I obsess over famous celebrities. I know I'll never meet them or anything like that. First I usually see a movie of theirs, then look up websites dedicated to them (to find out more about them), and finally I get depressed over them. Is there anyway to stop obsessing over celebrities or at least stop getting depressed over them? I have already been to the movie theater to see RHPS, (my Dad took me). I really enjoyed and I think my Dad did too. I want to go again and take some of my friends with me. The problem is my Mom doesn't want me to take some of my friends. Is there any way I can get my mom to change her mind or get her to see that my friends' parents are O.K. with going? My cast desperately needs help. We have no theatre, few costumes, and no time to rehearse. Any advice, or should we just say "Hello" to Oblivion? I read the letter from Doctor X's Creature and was wondering... I thought that (from reading the draft script) that, during "Touch Me", Columbia and Magenta were making fun of Janet because of, well, she was so inexperienced she didn't do it right. How do you figure Frank slept with Eddie? I am a bisexual ROCKY HORROR fan and my problem is mainly at school. Somehow, it got around that I was bisexual when I didn't want it to, What should I do? RHPS has seriously helped me in coming out to everyone, as well as being honest with myself about my sexuality. However, I am DEEPLY offended by the punk ass people who have or find no meaning to the movie except going to the theater and mocking the songs. Is it wrong to be offended by this sort of thing? Two weeks ago, I picked up this guy at ROCKY HORROR, and we immediately hit it off. There are a few problems. He is really sweet to me, but mean to basically all other people. Where do I go from here? I am a skinny person, and the guy I like is a bit heavy. Do you think it looks odd that some one who weighs 110lbs wants to date someone who looks to weigh around 200? I really want a PAL version of SHOCK TREATMENT and can't find one anywhere. They all seem to be in the American version. Where can I buy it in the PAL version? What time is it meant to be in RHPS? When Brad and Janet arrive its 12 o'clock and, during the floor show, Rocky says "I'm just 7 hours old...", meaning it would be around 7 or 8 in the morning when Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott leave. Wouldn't it be light out side by then? Where can I find a script of REVENGE OF THE OLD QUEEN? I was wondering if there was ever any sheet music published of the music from SHOCK TREATMENT. Does Cosmo ever become friends with people from his website? Like fans I mean? My Mum think I am crazy. I have given up so much time this summer to organizing my ROCKY HORROR cast, practicing, and finding a theater. She says I'm wasting my life away! I love my mom and I want her to understand why I love ROCKY HORROR too! I'm going to the 25th Anniversary RHPS Convention in Las Vegas and I have no clue what to wear! Should I wear normal street clothes, dress up as one of the characters, or just wear any kind of kooky thing you'd wear to ROCKY? How can I tell my parents I'm bisexual? I've heard over and over again that if you are confident and think you look good other people will think so too. Somehow, I've always thought this was bullshit. What about you? What do you think of this? I'm a ROCKY HORROR virgin and I'm going to see the movie in a few weeks. What should I expect? I get so jealous of my best friend sometimes. Do you have any advice on I how I can overcome these feelings? I am really shy. It's hard for me to just go up to someone and start talking to them. How can I over come this "problem" or what is another way to talk to people? I'm going to my first convention in October and I'm kinda nervous. What should I expect? I really love 'Rocky Radio' and I was wondering if there's anyway I could get my own radio show? I'm not in college so college radio is out. And also, how do you start internet radio, what equipment do you need, etc? How do you make a Long Island IceTea? Any idea where I can find Tim Curry CDs? I'm going to be my cast's Trixie and I have no clue what I should do. I know this is the part where you get to be original but I'm at a complete loss. Got any ideas? I met this guy a couple weeks ago and I like him a lot. He's 5 years older than me and my parents don't won't me see him anymore. I really like him and I will continue to see him, but is there anyway I can convince my parents so I don't have to go behind their backs? Do you like SHOCK TREATMENT? I would like to know if Nurse Ansalong's 'ditzy' performance is her real character, or whether she is simply pretending in order to help Janet out of a sticky situation? Is it her way of foiling Farley's plan? Have you ever met any ROCKY stars? Do you think Tim Curry will be at the 25th ROCKY con? Approved By Farley Flavors Read New Letters to Nurse A.
