Have you or would you let your kids see Rocky: yep
What I'm doing these days: Personal Assistant (for Business Directors) is my job. Hobbies are: reading, movies, learning guitar, human rights, music, walking, animal rights, cooking, hanging with friends, writing poetry, drinking wine and having deep and meaningful chats with my cats. I am currently involved with a human rights group called ISHR (International Society for Human Rights) and actively involved with its publication "Charter".
People from Rocky I've kept in touch with: nobody, I'm afraid, but intend to after the reunion
Why I first went to Rocky: I was an avid fan of Rocky from the age of 11 from listening and singing along to the album. The first time I got to see Rocky was when I was 16 and my very cool Mom took me. From there, I would stay over at my friend's house and we would sneak out and see Rocky on our own.
How I started performing: the summer after high school graduation (1988), I signed up with Anthony Pearce. Lisa Eckert taught me everything I needed to know (with regards to being in the cast).
Food I ordered after the show: Winchell's - nothin'. Rudford's - milkshake, fries and ranch dressing.
I last performed: in 1988
Before the reunion, I last saw Rocky: in 1999 (on video)
Did I buy the Rocky DVD? no, we don't have a DVD player yet
My favorite Rocky memories: The Halloween show of 1988. That was one of the best crowds and best cast. I had so much fun that night!! Also, the smell. I'll never forget the smell of aqua net and cigarettes in the dressing area. Takes me right back.
Rocky Horror was like high school to me. Regular high school sucked, but Rocky Horror was a place I could go to, blend in, not be judged, and have an ace time. It was a perfect environment to experiment with sensuality, open-mindedness and just feeling out my own individuality. I loved being in the cast. I loved being able to perform (to one of my favorite musicals) in front of an audience on a regular basis, regardless if their intent was to watch the screen anyway. I knew that the cast was an integral part of the whole Rocky Horror experience, which the audience could not ignore, and I was happy to be a part of it. And last, but not the least, the people I came to know there were some of the most interesting, warm and witty friends I had ever known. Long live Rocky!
