Rocky costume

Do you want to wear a Rocky costume for Halloween this year?

Rocky Horror Picture Show, or RHPS, season is upon us again. Halloween is almost here! With Halloween coming in a few weeks, it is time to get your Rocky costume ready!

This one is by far one of my most favorite costumes.  This is the ultimate man candy costume – complete with a gold lame bikini brief (hot pants, short shorts) – whatever you want to call them, but they’re really short, shorts.

So guys, it goes without saying, if you’re going in a Rocky costume this Halloween then you’re going to need a cute little bod to carry this costume off. Why? Well, because kind of like a go-go boy, or maybe even a wrestler, all you’re going to be wearing are short, shorts and shoes – gold boots if you can find them!

And if you’ve seen the film you’ll remember that Rocky is one hot little dude! And if you haven’t, then be sure to watch a copy of  the Rocky Horror Picture Show for research!

This one piece of Rocky’s costume, the short shorts, can be tricky to find. Maybe you could wear either gold swimming shorts, short gold boxers or find a pair of leather gold shorts available.

If you’re making your own Rocky costume gold shorts, you can attach gold lame fabric to black underwear too or even spray paint a pair of shorts a golden metallic color as a last choice.

As for the muscles and tan, in true RHPS tradition, a fake tan and a blond wig are absolute essentials for your perfect Rocky costume. You could use a tanner and shade the tan by making it darker in certain areas to make your abs look great! If you really want to go the fake muscle route, do it cautiously – you can buy a muscle man costume to wear under your gold lame shorts, but please keep in mind that this is RHPS and skin is preferred as a general rule.

Oh, and don’t forget Rocky’s trademark surfer dude blond hair either. You could dye your hair bleach blond if you’re not a natural blond already or you could wear a blond wig easily to complete the perfect Rocky costume.

Above all else Rocky Horror Picture Show is about fun, being outrageous, and pushing the limits. And your choice of Rocky from all other Rocky Horror Picture Show characters shows that you’ve got some attitude! So show it off and play it up!

And if you’re a first timer going to Rocky Horror Picture Show dressed up in a Rocky costume, then don’t forget you can find the heckling script online in several locations and as a virgin, you will be officially initiated before the show. It’s really a one-of-a-kind experience!

Rocky Horror is all about the experience and being able to interact with the cast. Most theaters have supply bags with toilet paper, playing cards, rice, and any other supplies that your specific cast feels is appropriate.

So, have fun, enjoy the experience, and next year you’ll be doing the time warp again – maybe even dressed up in your very own Rocky costume next year too!
