Frank N Furter

One of the most well known and iconic characters in the entire Rocky Horror Picture Show experience has to be, without a doubt, the one and only, Dr. Frank N. Furter!

Although he wears several costumes  during the movie, there is one look that will never be forgotten: the sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania.

Frankie’s “Sweet T” costume to the left includes a vest, black briefs with garters attached, black arm mitts and even a pair of fishnet stockings. And this look is available for adults in Standard and X-Large sizes. Wig, pearls, shoes and ankle bracelet not included.

“In just seven days, I can make you a man.”

So what exactly do you need for an authentic Frank-n-Furter costume? Well, for one thing a nice, short curly black wig is necessary (unless you’re lucky enough to have curly black hair in the first place). Next, you’ll need bright blue eye shadow and red lipstick – tastefully done of course  :) ! Ignore these small details and your costume will fail.

What else?  Well, specifically you’ll need black panties and a black vest or maybe even a lace up bustier. Oh yes, don’t forget the big oversized white pearl necklace. You’ll complete the look with a pair of black fishnet stockings, long black, but fingerless, gloves and a pair of heavy big black shoes.

Last but not least, any “real” Frank n Furter costume will need finishing up with makeup – including heavy black eyeliner, a pale powder for the face and a nicely done blush.

So, get your “Frank on” and have yourself a very scary Halloween.

“I see you shiver with antici… pation.”
