Columbia costumeLadies, the Columbia Costume is just one of the best things about the Rocky Horror Picture Show, besides being a really outrageous movie, a fun play, and an all around great time. And it’s still true that regular people often dress up like many of the characters that appear in the movie – like Columbia in her brightly colored tap shoes, Magenta, Janet or any of the other wacky RHPS characters.

Yeah, you heard that right! Not only do you get to watch Rocky Horror but you get to actively participate too! You could never have a more fun night if you were looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary.

So let’s take a moment to discuss just one of the Rocky Horror characters right now that you might want to re-enact. Have you ever thought about wearing a Columbia costume?

The character Columbia wears many different costumes throughout the Rocky Horror play or movie. And this little red haired vixen is probably best known for her gold sequined costume, big Columbia red wigclunky Mary Jane shoes and her tap dance number during the Time Warp dance. And this is the main Columbia costume that most people choose to wear because it is so well known by all the  Rocky Horror fans.

Does she wear anything else during the movie? Yeah, and if you want something less well known Columbia also wears scrubs in the laboratory scene and later on is seen in pajamas and Mickey Mouse ears. Columbia can also be seen wearing a corset and stockings later on.

So, if you decide to dress up in a Columbia costume for Halloween, don’t forget the short red wig,  bright red lipstick, and bright streak of blush right across her face – at least now you know that you have several choices of things to wear and to decide from.

Rocky Horror provides you an opportunity to be a part of one of the best group costumes on the planet – now you just have to choose which one in the group you want to be. And if it’s a Columbia Halloween costume that you’re going to wear, more power to you showing off those fabulous legs and fancy dancing moves. So, have fun “doin’ the Time Warp again” this Halloween!
