NOT PARTICULARLY ANAL TRANSYLVANIAN COSTUME DETAILS
(In Progress)
Over the years, one of the most common requests has been for Transylvanian details. While I adore screen-accurate Transylvanian costumes, I've strongly resisted adding another dozen costumes to the list for obvious reasons. Many people have promised to help...very few have stepped up to the plate.
I don't have the time I used to when I first started this list, and I am much less familiar with the Transylvanians' costumes, as most casts I've been in didn't feature Trannies for any length of time. So these are preliminary and will need a lot of refining. If you wish to make additions or corrections, please
email me
.
Many thanks to Rebecca, the first person who ever actually sent me any Tranny details, and to Mike Allen, who sent detailed descriptions of individual Trannies.

Transylvanian Guest Costumes: Generalities
Adapted from text by Rebecca
Black tux or tail coats – All the Transylvanians wear the same basic style of black jacket, though the lapel length and color, number of buttons, and presence or absence of tails varies with each Transylvanian. The lapel length varies from chest-length to just above the waist.
As far as I can tell, all the Trannies’ jackets have peak lapels without buttonholes. The center front below the lapels slopes diagonally downward toward the hips. It looks like the jackets are not meant to be closed in front. The jackets have long sleeves, but most of them are short enough to show the Trannies’ shirt cuffs. Some of the jackets look like they have separate cuffs as well (not very noticeable), and some of the sleeves have buttons, which indicates a sleeve vent and probably a two-piece (upper and under) sleeve.
A few of the Trannies’ jackets do not have tails [Ruth note: it looks like the women's do, but the men's do not], but are pointed down at the center back as though adding tails would be the next step. The tails’ ends are rounded (swallowtail, like Columbia’s, but most are wider than hers), and the transition from tail to jacket is pretty much abrupt, although more gradual than Columbia’s. Some of the jackets have two buttons (color varies) placed horizontally above the tails. I can’t tell if there is a center back seam on the jackets, but it would make the jackets more fitted and the placement of the tails would be easier.
Black satin armbands with a gold lightning bolt – Worn on right upper sleeve. The armbands are about 2 ˝ inches wide.
Black pants – Satiny and pretty tight, though loose enough around the ankles to flare over the socks. Pants have side seams and a separate waistband. I’m not sure how they fasten, but definitely not a front fly zip.
White socks – Mid-calf length. Ribbed, worn pulled up over pants. Crew socks are less likely to slip around than tube socks.
Black patent leather shoes – Male and female Trannies wear different styles. The men (and Fran Fullenwider) have flats with about a ˝ inch heel and rounded toe with just a slight point. It looks like there are rectangular grosgrain ribbon bows on the toes. Bows are about one inch long and two inches wide. No ankle straps. The women have open-toed high heels with ankle straps and gold (?) rectangular buckles. The open toe is sort of a rounded diamond shape, with the opening going almost to the vamp. The heels are triangular: widest (about 2 inches) at the top and narrowing to about ˝ inch at the bottom. The sides of the shoes are open, and the heel is covered. All the women except Fran wear this style of shoe except Sadie Corre, who (according to Larry Viezel) wore her own shoes because the studio didn’t have any that fit her. Sadie wears black leather open-toed strappy flat sandals. A strap goes down the top of the foot from the ankle to the toe, and two straps intersect with it across her foot—sort of a modified T-strap. There is also an ankle strap which goes around her foot to the heel.
Miscellaneous – Trannies wear shirts with very ‘70’s collars. Instead of pointing forward, they point out. I believe this is called a “spread” collar. As far as I can tell, all the Trannies wear their top buttons closed, so the collars make two isosceles triangles (shortest side facing neck) when seen from the front. Some of the Trannies wear their collars turned up.
Transylvanian Guest Costumes: Details
Mike Allen did the bulk of the work on these, though I did sit down and go through and vet them and have been adding details as I've made time. However, I can't claim I'm as familiar with the Transylvanians as I am with the main characters. Comments and additional details are welcome.
If you're wondering which Transylvanian is which, http://www.sweet-transvestites.com/uk/RHPS/Bios/trannies-uk.htm is a terrific resource.
TONY MILNER (Fluorescent pink shirt Tranny)
- Black satin stretch pants
- White socks
- Black patent leather loafer shoes with a short heel.
- Black bowtie.
- Black tux coat (no tails), black lapels. The tux coat is high in back, revealing his shirt, with a pointed center back, as if someone cut a cursive "M" out of the back.
- Black vest, no visible buttons so they must be black, with dark metallic blue lapels.
- Transylvanian arm-band.
- Fluorescent pink shirt with vertical front pleats, wingtip collar. White buttons down front and on cuffs. Cuffs are trimmed all along the edges with a narrow white lace trim.

- Black sunglasses with black frames. Lenses are sort of rounded triangles, with the points towards the side of the head.
- Conical party hat with a pattern of red and gold diamonds, with a small cheap blue feather stapled to the front. Thin accordion-folded yellow, red and blue paper streamers hang down from the tip of the hat to the brim. The side edges of the hat are folded up to form a little triangular pointed brim on either side. Looks like the one Frank wears to dinner.
- Black brows; no visible makeup.

On her left hand she wears rings on her index finger (red stone surrounded by clear stones) and ring finger (horizontal rectangle with three rows of rhinestones; might be a bow? Hard to tell.). Black and clear rhinestone earrings with 4 vertical clear drops tipped in black.
- Sunglasses. The lenses are shaped like sideways tear drops with the points pointing towards her ears. The frame is dark blue plastic.
- Tall cylindrical gold paper hat, scalloped at the top to look like a crown, worn behind her bouffant - diagonally or even to the horizontal in some takes. Looks like the one Hugh Cecil (bald monocle Tranny) is wearing.
- She uses an amber-colored plastic lorgnette with oval lenses in the lab.
- Makeup - Black bouffant worn to the front of the head; staight black hair comes down just over her shoulders.
- Her eyes are lined and she has prominent lower lashes; she's likely wearing falsies top and bottom. Eyeshadow over the eyelids only; the browbone between the eyelid and the high eyebrows is uncolored. Her eyebrows are very narrow black arches, likely drawn on.

RUFUS COLLINS (Black male Tranny with yellow hat)
- Black tux jacket (no tails, has that funny back center point in the back) - Peak lapels; the lower lapels are covered with blue satin fabric. Three round goldtone buttons on either side of the jacket. He has some sort of a rounded gold pin on his upper left breast.

- Rufus uses a pink noisemaker during Creation Scene. Note that he's left-handed.
ANNABEL LEVENTON (Double-hatted female blonde "Madonna" Tranny)
- Black stretch pants - appear to have a front fly.
- White socks
- Black patent leather, open toe, strap high heel shoes
- Black tail coat. The lower lapels are covered in black satin material. Three shiny black plastic buttons arranged diagonally on each side of the lapels.
- Transylvanian arm-band.
- White pleated tux shirt with white buttons. Wide collar. There appears to be six pleats on either side of the buttons.
- Round black cuff-links
- Black bow tie.
- Nearly obscured by the bow tie is necklace. It appears to be very similar in shape to that worn by Pam Obermeyer except Annabel's hangs much higher, barely poking out from underneath her tie. Her necklace also appears to be done in emerald green stones, opposed to Pam's gold ones.
- Magenta cummerbund made out a shiny, metallic lamé. It is sectioned with four pleats, the fouth section on the bottom being about half the thickness as the ones above.
- There is a silver ring on Annabel's left middle finger. It has a dark blue stone set on a square-shaped mount.
- Sunglasses. The lenses are shaped like sideways tear drops. Plastic translucent yellow frames. Shaped like Peggy and Imogen's.
- Annabel wears two conical party hats. The one on the right side of her head is made of a metallic green paper. The one on the left side is exactly the same as that worn by Frank during the Dinner Scene, execpt that it has a green diamond on silver pattern instead of red. Like Frank's the bottom edge has a zig-zag pattern. The edges are folded up to create a brim of large triangles. It also has several tassels made of red, blue and yellow paper streamers.
- She uses a pink noisemaker in the lab.
- Makeup - Short, shag-cut platinum blonde wig. It is cut to frame the face with side pieces which nearly obscure the ears. Her eyes are lined and her lashes have mascara on them. High curved black penciled brows. I suspect her real eyebows are waxed over, a'la Columbia. She also wears dark black or charcoal colored eye-shadow. It extends from the corner of the eye to meet the end of the brow. A similar colored blush is used in triangle shapes to accent her cheekbones. On her lips Annabel has a light pink lipstick lined in a dark brown pencil. Her nails are also painted with a metallic, dark magenta polish - a few shades darker than her cummerbund.
GAYE BROWN (Orange-haired female Tranny)
- Black stretch leather pants
- White socks
- Black patent leather, open toe, strap high heeled shoes
- Black tail coat. The lapels and cuffs are satin. I do not detect any breast pocket on Gaye's jacket. There is at least one shiny button (I assume on both sides) near the base of the lapel. Every time I spot it, it looks blue, or possibly even green.
- Transylvanian arm-band.
- Bright lime green tux shirt. Wide collar and pleated front which is buttoned with white buttons. The shirt sleeves are trimmed with a delicate scalloped white lace trim.
- Large dark brick-red velvet bowtie.
- Black vest, black buttons. It closes into a scoop or "U" shaped front, rather than a point. There are two watch pockets on either side from which a silver (pewter) chain spans. From the available pics, the chain has very tight links, and almost looks like a herringbone style. In the center of the chain is rhinestone medallion which is roughly shaped like a 6-pointed star. In the center is a cup-shaped accent studded with rhinestones. It hangs down under the belt line.
- On the index finger of her right Gaye wears a gold ring with a small (red?) stone. On her left middle finger is a wide gold band and on her left ring finger is large diamond or rhinestone cluster ring.
- In the ballroom Gaye wears a golden-orange miniature wide-brimmed Spanish hat (short cylindrical crown; flat circular brim) with a blue/purple hat band and decorated with a small, fuzzy red feather attached to the left side.
- She wears unusual plastic tortoise-shell glasses with a mixture of golden yellow and lime green colors. The slightly rectangular lenses are quite reflective, but not mirrored.
- One assumes that Gaye uses a blow-out whistle during the Creation speech since she has both hands on the railing during "Sword of Damocles" while the other Trannies who had noisemakers are still holding on the theirs. However, there is no visual evidence to exactly what Gaye is using at this time.
- Makeup - Gaye wears pink/orange hair (there's definitely pink framing her face during Time Warp) curled back from her face in a style not far removed from Ronald McDonald. The hair is"poofier" during Eddie's song than it was in previous scenes. Her eyebrows are thin and arched with either dark brown or black pencil. Her eyes are lined and heavily mascara'ed. She wears a very orangy-pink eyeshadow which covers her lids and is swept out in point towards the ends of her eyebrows. She has matching blush worn very high on her checkbones. Her lips are lined in black while the lipstick is an unusual glossy greenish-gold blend.
ISHAQ BUX (White-bearded Arab Tranny)
- Black stretch pants
- White socks
- Black patent leather loafer shoes with a short heel.
- Black tux jacket. On either side of the lapels are 3 round brass buttons. About 2 1/2 inches from the opening on the sleeves is a gold zig-zag design about 1 or 1 1 1/4 thick. From I assume the button-hole just under the point of the lapel on the left side is a curious thing. There is a round silver accent from which hangs a small chain loop, similar to a pocket watch chain. (I had a heck of a time trying to figure out what this was. From the pics it looked like a solid piece of metal but when watching the movie I noticed it moving, especially noticeable when the camera pans across the Trannies in the lab with the noisemakers.)
- Transylvanian armband
- Bright blue pleated shirt with white buttons.
- White round cuff-links
- White bow tie
- Just under the tie Bux wears a large, faceted jade-colored stone.
- White headdress (ghutra). Ghutras are large squares of fabric folded on the diagnal. The hem on Ishaq's has tiny little white pom-poms. It's held in place with a doubled over black band which appears to be covered in a satin-like material. The jacket collar is worn over the fold in the back of the head. The ghutra hands down to the fingertips or the inseam of the pants.
- On his left hand he wears two large amber rings. The one on his ring finger is pear (teardrop) shaped. The one on his pinky appears to be marquis shaped. On his right hand he has a blue marquis stone in a silver setting with eight tangs on his index finger and dome-shaped gold ring on his pinky.
- Dark shades with black frames. Flattish top, rounded bottom lenses: think a horizontal "D" shape.
- In the Ballroom, Bux wears a silver conical party hat with a random design of blue polka dots of varying sizes. The bottom edge of the hat is folded outward to create a triangle shaped brim. A small yellow feather is affixed to the front. There are yellow, blue and red paper streamers hanging from the top. The hat is held in place with a white cord.
- Ishaq uses a pink noisemaker in the lab.
- In the very begining of the Time Warp, Ishaq drinks from a small red paper cup with a white brim and interior.
KIMI WONG (Female Asian Tranny with long hair)
- Black stretch pants
- White socks
- Black patent leather, open toe, strap high heeled shoes
- Black tail coat. Like all the female Trannies the tails are quite long and hang down to the back of the knee. It has a very wide, notched lapel covered with a deep red material. There are two brass buttons on either side of the lapels. They are usually hidden by her hair. The best time to spot these is during the last chorus of the Time Warp when she jumps around in front of the Throne.
- White handkerchief which is tucked into the jacket's breast pocket.
- Transylvanian armband.
- Purple satin shirt. The button flap is wide. There is stiching down its length on either side of the buttons. The buttons themselves are black and white tortoishell. Cuffs are edged with delicate white lace.
- Round, pearlescent white cuff links.
- Large purple velvet bowtie
- White, backless tux waistcoat with narrow lapels. It is buttoned with three black buttons/studs with a metallic edge, smaller than the ones on the shirt.
- Around Kimi's neck is a gold-tone, ruby-colored rhinestone necklace. Most of its length is a single strand except down at the bottom where it hangs there is 3 scallop shapes with the middle being the largest. It covers the shirt button directly over her breast bone.
- She wears two seemingly identical rings; one on each hand (left ring finger; middle right finger). They have a large red ruby-colored "stone" and appear to be wide rose-tinted plastic. No gloves.
- Black sunglasses. The lenses are wide and rhomboidal in shape.
- Mint green party hat. Similar in style to a Mexican sombrero but with a very high peak; texturing as if it's made of bands of straw? Red hat band. Worn off to left side of the head.
- Kimi uses a pink noisemaker during the Creation speech.
- Long black hair. The ends hang down to the bottom of her jacket lapels. Kimi's hair is crimped and has bangs almost down to her sunglasses.
- Kimi wears pale pink, glossy lipstick. Her eyes are also heavily lined with eye-liner, although you barely glimpse them when Frank is chasing Rocky up the ramp in the lab. A little pink blush is mostly covered by her hair.
PEGGY LEDGER (Old female purple-hair Tranny)
- Black stretch pants
- White socks
- Black patent leather, open toe, strap high heel shoes
- Black tail coat. There are four large shiny black buttons; two on each side of the lapels.
- On the left lapel Peggy has an unsual, large flower shaped pin. The stem portion consists of three gold stalks bound together at the midway point. The two outer stalks end in spiral curls pointing in opposite directions. The middle stem rises up to a five petal, star-shaped flower. The petals are decorated with dark red stones. The middle portion of the flower is a light colored stone (pale yellow/green?). The middle stem also has a slender gold leaf which springs from the right side.
- Transylvanian arm-band.
- On each ear are three strand pink rhinestone earrings. The center strand is about an inch and a half long with about 8 stones. It is flanked by two slightly shorter strands of 5 or 6 stones.
- Bright lemon yellow shirt with vertical pleats. Running parallel down the front from the shoulders to the shirttail are two lines of white scalloped trim. The same trim also lines her shirt cuffs. The buttons down the front are white. (The pleats aren't visible during Lab Scene; it's possible Peggy switched shirts!).
- Long, slender black bowtie.
- Peggy wears a rhinestone necklace clasped underneath her shirt collar and emerging underneath her bowtie. It has three large pointed scallop shapes. (Note: the B&W picture shows some sort of rhinestone necklace but this one appears to be different, or else much of it is somehow hidden behind her tie.)
- On her left hand Peggy wears a large ring on her middle finger with a round (silver?) central part surrounded with smaller (rhinestones?) stones. On her left ring finger she as a chunky gold ring. On her right middle finger she wears a round gold ring. On her right ring finger she has two gold rings (apparently her engagement and wedding rings); the lower ring is thicker than the upper band which sports a modest size diamond. (Ruth note: during Creation it looks to me like she's wearing a ring on both her right ring and middle fingers.)
- Black sunglasses with horizontal teardrop-shaped lenses with blue plastic frames, similar to Imogen's.
- Tall conical gold party hat with a slender red feather attached to the front.
- For the Creation Speech, Ledger uses a "blow-out noisemaker" which is gold with a criss-cross yellow pattern. The end of the curled paper part is decorated with a tiny yellow feather. The mouthpiece is green.
- During the creation scene Peggy uses goldtone opera glasses. Each "glass" is shaped like the barrel of a telescope with the lens and the viewpiece rimmed in chrome. The center grip portion has a duller finish and are attached to each other with a curved "nosepiece" with a round circular hinge. They are held with a chrome metal handle attached to the right side. The handle is topped off with a ball. (For a good pic of this look at the famous Trannie group shot in front of the freezer door. The best resolution of this pic I've seen is underneath the disc tray for the 25th Anniversary soundtrack.)
- Makeup - Most prominently, Peggy has a elaborate, aristocratic wavy old woman hair, sweeping from her top left forehead over the top of her head to the right. It is grey with a definite purpleish tint to it - not dissimilar to something Barry Humphries might wear as Dame Edna on one of his quieter days. She wears pale pink lipstick and pink blush; her eyebrows have been slightly darkened to show up.
PERRY BEDDEN (Tall short-haired male Tranny with blue hat)
- Black tux jacket - Tight with padded shoulders. The sleeves end about 2/3 down the length of the forearm which shows a considerable amound of shirt cuff. The lapels are wide and triangular. The back is cut higher than the front (no tails). The edge is about level with the bottom of the rib cage and slopes down into a point at the front to meet the bottom point of the lapel. There is a breast pocket on the left. I do not see any evidence of any buttons on the jacket.
- Transylvanian armband on right bicep. The band is made of a satin material and is about 3 inches wide. A gold metallic lightning bolt is stitched on.
- A sheer pale yellow handkerchief is stuffed into the breast pocket. It has a noticeable hem around the edge. It hangs out a good 4 inches outside the pocket.
- White pleated tux shirt. I believe there is a zig-zag pattern running the length of the pleats. Has rather long, starched cuffs. Wide collar. White plastic buttons.
- White vest buttoned with three metallic blue buttons. The lapel is quite wide and rounded.
- Black stretch pants. Stephen Calcutt revealed in "From Concept to Cult" that the pants were stretch leather. The pants on the Trannies zipped up in the back over the fanny. You can see a good shot of the zipper on Tony Then in the second Time Warp outtake on the Rocky 2-disc DVD.
- White socks
- Black patent leather loafer shoes with a short heel
- Olive green/gold metallic butterfly bowtie
- Round gold cuff links
- Rings. Left hand: Large light blue square stone on ring finger. Smaller round gold ring on middle finger.
Right hand has three gold rings on the index, middle and ring fingers.
- Perry wears a gold bracelet on his right wrist. It is largely obscured by his shirt cuff.
- Black sunglasses with square lenses.
- In the Ballroom Perry wears a small round-crowned hat (ovoid crown with a vertical front to back seam), blue with a black band. I've seen him refer to it as a "bobby hat" - Mike called it a bowler but the brim is flat. It is held on with a black chin band.
- During the Creation speech Perry uses a pink plastic noisemaker.
- Makeup: Perry wears mascara. His eyebrows are filled in with black pencil. He has just a touch of light pink blush on his cheekbones and wears a glossy, pale pink on his lips. His hair is slicked back except for a small curl which falls in the middle of his forehead. Perry revealed in an interview that they used KY jelly to slick the Trannies' hair. Dark black brows.
STEPHEN CALCUTT (Tall male long-haired Tranny)
- Black stretch pants
- White socks
- Black patent leather loafer shoes with a short heel.
- Black tux jacket. The lapels are black satin, wide and notched. The sleeves are upturned about 2 1/2 inches. The underlying fabric is satin like the lapels. There are three shiny silver buttons on each side of the jacket. I do not detect any breast pocket on his jacket.
- Forest green pleated tux shirt. The buttons are green and white tortoise shell. The collar is wide.
- Diamond-shaped gold cufflinks inlaid with faceted ruby-like stones.
- Silver grey double bow-tie. There are horizontal black pin stripes running across it; five which are visible on each loop of of the bow. The neck strap is similar with 2 black stripes running parallel to the strap.
- Deep maroon waistcoat. A black marble design runs through it. It has small lapels and is closed with three silver buttons.
- Stephen wears grey tux gloves (the only Trannie to wear grey ones). The cuffs are folded over, probably because his hands were too large for them to be buttoned at the wrist.
- Large faceted diamond-like ring on the ring finger of the left hand.
- In the ballroom Stephen wears a conical gold party hat with a yellow feather attached to the front. Around the hat triangular notches are cut into it and the flaps are pulled outwards.
- Ivory-colored plastic rimmed sunglasses. The rims come to a point where they meet with the earpieces. The lenses are circular.
- During the Creation Speech Stephen uses opera glasses. Each barrel is shaped like the barrel of a telescope with the lens and the viewpiece rimmed in chrome. The center grip portion has a duller finish and are attached to each other with a curved "nosepiece". They are held with a chrome metal handle attached to the right side.
- Long brown hair, past shoulder length, with waves at the ends, and a little Superman-style spit curl on his forehead (curls to his right).
- He also uses a party-favor blow-out horn. It is silver with a pink diamond pattern.
TONY THEN (Male white-haired Asian Tranny)
- Black stretch pants
- White socks
- Black patent leather loafer shoes with a short heel.
- Black tux jacket. The lower lapels have a duller satin covering. The jacket hangs especially short on Then. There are at least 2 buttons on either side of the lapels. They are covered with black material and are very difficult to see, so there may be more.
- Transylvanian armband
- Electric blue satin shirt. The cuffs are lined with a white trim, probably the same as that used on Peggy Ledger's shirt. The shirt is closed with white buttons. The "fly" is wide. Although hard to see, there are pleats on the shirt (see the B&W pic in the Henkin book or the Mick Rock book, p 39).
- Silver square shaped cuff links.
- Metallic gold narrow horizontal bowtie
- Black waistcoat. It is not a vest since it is clear that it has no back. It is closed with three small black buttons. The bottom flares out to two points in the front. The cinch-up strap in the back can be quickly glimpsed as he jumps off the laboratory ramp to escape Eddie's motorcycle.
- Running across the vest buttons Tony wears a silver or pewter-colored waist chain. It is a single strand with several accents hanging from it. It runs through the vest through openings in the sides; its barbell-like anchors can be seen emerging approximately where the faux pockets on a waistcoat are located.
- On his right wrist there is a gold link bracelet. It is thin but there appears to be an oval-shaped plate attached to it so it may be an ID bracelet.
- On Tony's right middle finger is a thick rectangular silver ring. On his right wrist there is a segmented wristband, which from the photo evidence makes me believe that it belongs to a watch.
- In the ballroom he wears a silver party hat with the bottom end turned upwards to create a scalloped brim. A single thin green feather is attached to the front. From the top of the cone emerge red, orange and yellow paper streamers.
- Tony wears goggle-like sunglasses. The lenses are roughly oval shaped and are tinted yellow. The frames are black.
- In the lab he uses a pink noisemaker.
- Tony wears a white Andy Warhol type wig. It is not snow white, having a little grey in it. It has bangs and hangs over the ears. It is cut longer in the back, falling below the jacket collar. His eyebrows may have been penciled in darker and in the Mick Rock book he's wearing light gray eyeshadow up to his brows. Otherwise he wears no discernible makeup.
