Dear Nurse Ansalong:
Lately, I attended my first showing of ROCKY HORROR, and the virgin ceremony was not all that bad- just some lipstick "v's" and an oath. However, there was no fooling the usherette into thinking I wasn't a RHPS virgin because I am shy and I get embarassed and blush easily, giving myself away. The problem is, I didn't mind going through the virgin ceremony once, but I don't want to have to do it again, especially somewhere where it's more extreme. I look pretty innocent and I'm pretty sure I could be mistaken for an RHPS virgin. What should I do?

Shy, the first thing that I would tell you to do is try to find a way to talk to the Usherette again. You could tell her that you loved her costume the last show you were at and that you wondered where she had gotten it. This way, there will be someone who remembers you from the first show and knows that you aren't a virgin. Another thing that you should do is try to keep in mind some of the things that happened the night of your first show. If you can quote the 'Virgin Sacrifice' or something funny that happened to a performer on stage, then they would be less likely to try and pull you back on stage. One word of warning though... There are several casts that believe that, if it's your first time seeing RHPS in their theatre, then you're still considered a virgin to them. Other than that, if you just try to show your knowledge of the film and or the show, I think you'll be okay.
