One year around Halloween the midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show had a costume contest for all the people who liked to dress as one of the flamboyant characters in the film. The decision was based on applause from the crowd. My friend Ray dressed as "Alex" from A Clockwork Orange and he had a very complete costume with the false eyelashes on one eye, bowler hat, maybe even the codpiece. Anyway, he looked the part. There were so many of us there who knew him that our wild cheers won him the prize, much to the confusion of the cast of Rocky Horror transvestites, half of whom had no idea just who Ray was supposed to be.
