Dear Nurse Ansalong:
I'm 12 years old and I'm infatuated with ROCKY HORROR. I go to my local theatre a lot to see it. I have a crush on the cast member that plays Franky. The strange thing is that I don't find him attractive without the make-up, fishnets, ect. What is wrong with me???!!

Columbia, there is nothing wrong with you. In the time that I've been performing ROCKY HORROR, I've seen many Franks that were gorgeous in costume but were normal out of it. The same situation happened to me when I went to a RHPS Con a couple of years ago. At the costume competition, he was dressed in his "Sweet T" outfit and he looked amazing. This guy had the character down and he totally had my attention, if you know what I mean. For the rest of the night, I tried to talk to him but I didn't get the chance. However, one of my friends got to talk to him and got invited to his hotel room. She brought me along and I was so nervous going up there. When I did meet him, he had changed into his normal clothes and my feelings changed too. He seemed to lose all of the sexual attraction that he had when he was in costume. I think it's a combination of the actor and the part the part that he or, in some cases, she is playing. The character is so sexual in the film that, if the actor plays him right, the actor becomes very sexual. If the two come together, then you get a Frank that the audience can't keep their hands off of. So, please don't think that you're strange for the feelings that you have.
