The Rocky Horror Picture Show became the focal point of a fundraiser last night by the PV Battered Womens Shelter. It had been many many years since I religiously went to the 12 midnight showing in Denver at the Odgen Theater. So when my friend told about the showing for 2 nights only, I had to jump on board. The event was held at the Palms nightclub where so many shows are taking place now and the 100 pesos donation went to the charity. They are close to building their own facility as none exists here in Puerto Vallarta and I was amazed at the statistics of how many women are victims of abuse in Mexico!
With raffles, door prizes, and of course the infamous movie it was a fun night. I saw there were quite a few of the 'die hard' Rocky Horror Picture Show fans with all the accutrement including the toast, spray bottles, newspapers, confetti, rice, etc. that I so fondly remember. The lack of attendance at the event was the only downside and maybe they will have a better crowd tonite at the 1000pm showing? I hope so as it is a worthwhile cause and a lot of fun to boot!
