- 2/24/08 Added link to the Ellie 557-LEA platform sandal at Snaz75 to the links page. It's a good if non-exact Frank shoe, and is now available for about a third of what I paid for mine.
- 6/13/07 Added a pre-floorshow costume description to the Frank page. Added non-latex eyelash glue to the Links list.
- 6/5/07 Called Frank Bee about their tailcoats; they confirmed that "what you see is what you get." So if you want a swallowtail sequined tailcoat, you'll have to order the men's model ($270) or modify the women's square-cut tails. Added a link for 6-strap garterbelts to the Links list (thanks, Sam!). Added ZG Creations by Amy Balot to the Costumers listing on the Links page.
- 6/3/07 Added a link for very reasonably-priced sequin tailcoats to the Links page. Thanks to Venus from the rhpscostumes LiveJournal group. Mina also pointed out the Magic Makers sell tailcoats. Updated information on Broadway Fabrics and added Daytona Braids and Trimming, with a link to fashionstudentsource.com that might help NYC area folks. Changed my guesstimated height of Columbia's tap shoes to 1.5" after staring at tap shoe photos, and added listings for the Capezio 455 and Bloch S0323 in place of the old Capezio 450 links on the Links page. I think the heels are a better match. Added a link to Sock Dreams, who carry interesting armwear that isn't quite right but is quite intriguing. Deleted dancewear.com, as the site's disappeared. Added another model of seamed Lycra fishnet tights, available in L/XL for about $12; added a source for Brad glasses and finally found a US source for Beatle Boots (probably imported).
- 4/14/07 Finally removed my last name from the page. Updated the costumers section of the Sources page. Added a link to the Columbia page to the main page notice for multisequined fabric.
- 3/28/07 Added a disclaimer after receiving yet another note from a costumer who used this page to more thoroughly copy Sue Blane's designs for a production of the play. Boo hiss.
- 3/6/07 Minor changes to Janet's page: noted that the easiest way to find a good hat is apparently to find one on eBay and modify it; after learning what snap clips are called, noted they're a possible base for homemade Janet barrettes.
- 3/1/07 Updated information on Mick Rock: Rocky Horror. Who knows if it will ever come out in paperback. Good news: used copies are available at amazon.de . How good is your German? Updated bio and started removing last names (ah, the joys of employment in the age of Google).
- 2/19/07 On the Tips and Tricks page, noted that Lexol is a brand of leather conditioner sold in shoe shops. Noted that petroleum jelly is supposed to be useful for polishing patent leather (guess I should try it).
- 2/13/07 After checking Mick Rock's book, noted that Rocky's corset has 16 eyelets. Determined that Columbia's shoes have sequins on them, not rhinestones. Thanks to bttrpr for starting the discussion on the rhpscostumes Livejournal group.

- 1/22/07 Updated Saffron's email address on the Links page.
- 1/21/07 On the Columbia page, noted that I don't know if her shoes are spangled with rhinestones or sequins. Thanks to the rhpscostumes group for bringing this up.
- 1/7/07 On the Links page, noted that Broadway Fabrics is now on-line and will give you 10% off if you mention you saw them on-line. Don't know if they have multisequined fabric again; I did ask...
- 12/28/06 Noted that the Eddie theater mask ring is a Beau Sterling design. Thanks to Larry, Shawn Anthony and Ashford Wyrd for pointing this out and confirming it.
- 12/20/06 Fixed a broken link to the Belasco corset page on the Coming Up page (thanks, Mark). Fixed a ton of broken links Arthur Levesque was nice enough to point out. Added a site that does satin swim trunks to the Links page, and added a site that does chromed German helmets. Removed the "Coming Soon" notes about Larry's costume pieces on the main page and the "Coming Up" page. Obviously, since I took the photos in May, "soon" does not apply. (They are still coming.) Noted that Brad and Janet's lab jackets have notched lapels. Noted that Eddie's helmet is not just "silver" but "silver chrome" and added some picky detail on his drama masks ring.
- 12/19/06 Updated the Links page, adding Mark Miller and Pixy Creations (from whom I bought a set of 4 boas) as costumers; updated Shawn Anthony's and Saffron's information (for the record, I bought my last dress from her). Fixed some broken tap shoe links; updated my bio. Added note that some Columbias buy shoes without taps to the Columbia page.
- 9/11/06 Recorded my disappointing experience with the new "bonds to plastic" spray paint, and added acetone to the list of useful items on the Tips and Tricks page.

- 10/21/05 Made minor corrections to my personal notes on Magenta foundation on the makeup page and removed a reference to orange-based lipstick for Magenta. Noted on the Links page that Alisa's Cosplay Services is no longer taking commissions and replaced In Step with Theatre House as a source for wrist-length lamé gloves. Added source for Mickey Mouse ears and noted that name silver name necklaces plated in gold are now available for $40 (a steal for the accurate Janet).
- 8/19/05 Added some information on materials of construction to the spacesuit section of the Riff Details page. Began working on a preliminary Tranny costume page.

Noted that Columbia's tap shoes *button*, not buckle, on the Columbia page.
- 7/3/05 Removed date information on Larry Viezel's custom Columbia fabric on the Index page. He had the first bolt made in 2003 and still has some for sale as of 6/05. Reorganized the right side of Columbia's shorts on the Columbia details page and noted the location of the side seam, and that there are two separate cuffs, not one cuff all the way around the leghole. Confused yet? Buy the 2005 Mick Rock calendar and look at July. Corrected the spacesuit section (bitrot?) on the Magenta page; corrected the number of points on the space boots there and on the Riff page. Noted that the April 2005 Mick Rock photo shows the anklet/boots/sides of the spacesuits clearly. Updated the spacesuit info on the Riff details page, noting TimTex as a stiffening option, among other things.

- 7/16/03 Noted on the makeup page that I won't post specific colors or catalog numbers of street makeup. They just change too fast. On that subject, noted that I have no idea if Revlon still makes temporary tattoo sealer, after someone asked about it.

Confirmed that the Crim's shoes are black (they glint a little). Deleted reference to a watch on the Crim page--I thought I saw something once and haven't been able to confirm it for 5 years...also made some fairly major changes to the makeup page, as this is the first time I've watched the DVD strictly for that. Changes were made to Frank, Janet, Riff, Magenta and Columbia. Added a new makeup photos page with a separate Frank makeup photos page.

Added note about color/eyelet in Eddie's skull keychain. Deleted assumption that the skull is plastic.
Added note about sparse sequins on the side of the floorshow corsets to Janet's detail page.
Deleted reference to cream-colored lining on Brad's suitjacket pockets. It looks like something sticking out of the pocket.
- 2/11/00 Added Mina Smith to Costumer's section of Links page.
- 2/06/00 Started What's New page. Added the number of eyelets to Brad's corset, and noted that for Brad, Janet, Rocky and Columbia the fishnet glove is seamed.
Upgraded low-res Magenta dinner dress and space suit images; noted that Rocky's shorts straps are attached at the stitch lines, not the top and bottom of the shorts. Added notes on shape of Frank wig; upgraded bio.
