The Girl Who Flew Away

I’m so happy to have started this thing. This is the “intro,” I guess you could say. As I might’ve mentioned before, this will be it for a little while until I have a buffer and then I’ll make a beautiful site and will post more pages and everything.

Here’s a bit of a summary and some more info

Anyway, my ask box is open if you have any questions and thanks for reading!

Ringling Circus clown Emmett Kelly in a bubble bath, 1955

• {Photo taken as a favor to Kelly, who wanted the image for his Christmas card. The photographer, Joseph Janney Steinmetz’s  wife, Lois Foley Steinmetz, was crouched down out of sight behind the chair that held Kelly’s clothing, with an egg beater in her hand. After every shot Joe took, Lois would leap out of hiding, use the egg beater to increase the foam in the tub, and conceal herself once again.}

On the 16th of June 1973 The Rocky Horror Show began previews in the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London. They held their official, thunder ridden, opening night on the 19th of June 1973.

2013 marks the 40th Anniversary of this incredible production and I want to share some Frankie love here on Tumblr in a tribute to ‘the man who began it’ - Dammit. Well one of them. The one who stormed that stage forty years ago with such style and perfection that we’re sitting here forty years later, still talking about that tiny little production which by rights should have disappeared into the zeitgeist after the originally intended three week run.

So, Tumblr, can we get 4711 notes by 19th June? 

If we do it. 

I will post a rare - never before seen - photo from the original Theatre Upstairs production.

 Well. How nice.

Mailing Letters, 1880

Young boy does his best to put his letters into a Doremus-style mailbox. Mailboxes of this type, designed by Willard D. Doremus, were not very strong. The lip covering the letter slot could too easily break, letting rain, or in this case, snow, into the mailbox.
