I am no longer accepting orders for custom work, but I am still available for any questions you may have making costumes.
What are you working on now?
In 2020 I took a certification course for sewing machine repair. I'm still sewing and I occasionally list items in the Facebook Rocky Horror Costume group.
Where do you get your materials?
Rocky costumes are tricky because the materials are so specific and I strive to be as consistent as possible. I go to great lengths to match my fabrics and buy the bolt when I can. It just takes a lot of hunting and perseverance. Etsy and eBay sometimes have some good finds.
What if it doesn't fit?
(Even though I'm no longer taking custom orders I'm leaving this on my page forever for those who may still need to reference it).
If the garment does not coincide with the measurements provided I will exchange or refund it provided the costume is returned unworn and does not smell like smoke. If the garment does not fit because you measured yourself poorly then I will consider an exchange or alterations on an individual case basis.
About me
Bel-Air 1992 |
Costumes were still a mixed bag - a lot of people just wore whatever funky outfit they had. I wanted to look just like the screen. I had limited exposure to what other casts looked like (inside cover of the vinyl soundtrack). Friends on the cast also employed my skills.
Vegas, 2000 |
I eventually made my way back to Houston in 1998 and began performing again. Jef R. and I formed The Beautiful Creatures cast which ran until 2001. During that time I had performed Columbia's floorshow in the EC2000 con and the Friday night line-up at the 25th anniversary in Vegas. My personal life took a hard hit in 2002 losing first my grandmother, then my home. My budding attempts at entrepreneurship were a bust that was further exacerbated by outside involvement.
River Oaks, 2005 |
