31 for 21: BOO!


Twenty years ago today, this was Jessie:

Just discovering the wonders and bounties of the world—dressed up like little red riding hood skipping merrily through the neighbourhood collecting, incredulously, candy! No wolves; neighbours to keep her safe and filled with sugar.

Today, this was Jessie:


Just discovering the wonders and bounties of the Rocky Horror Picture Show (at, believe it or not, the SAME cinema I watched it at back in university more than 30 years ago!)


Dressed up like Columbia, pockets filled with bubbles, the requisite newspaper (for the rain), and a plastic glove to snap, skipping along the main drag with a gaggle of other students dressed variously in drag, maid uniforms, little silver pants, and other standard Rocky Horror fare. Not too many wolves; and friends and neighbours to keep her safe and filled with sugar.

These 31 days of blogging have been a journey, but just a small measure of the journey from little red riding hood to rocky horror.

I LOVE it!!! I used to go see Rocky Horror when I was in high school at a theater near Philadelphia. So cool that Jessie loves it too!!
