You know what pisses me off? Trends. Especially the new "modern-burlesque" trend, which I blame the Pussycat Dolls Musical Revue for reviving. It was cute at first, but now corset-inspired tops and fishnets and faux garter belts are becoming some of the new "risqué" fashion trends. Don't get me wrong--I find them absolutely cute and attractive, but women are jumping on this trend, and people like me, Rachel, Cecilia, Tina and Elyse wear this stuff as part of our Rocky Horror costumes. I think it just astounds me to see people wearing what I would normally wear on weekend nights as cutesy fashion now. And the thing is, Rocky Horror isn't a part of this trend (even though I'd like to say that those who have done the Rocky Horror cast thing longer than I have are more responsible for it since they've been donning the garb longer). It's because of the Pussycat Dolls and celebrities like Christina Aguilera and Carmen Electra and them who made it popular. And don't get me started on Britney Spears--she's just copying them. If you've seen pictures from the Onyx Hotel Tour, you'll see the obvious burlesque cutesy lingerie rip-off she does, and then the walking on the chairs that she so OBVIOUSLY stole from Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour.
