Hi everyone, this is Lisa, the new RHCS uberlord. Thanks to MJ for handing things over so smoothly.
I'm just feeling my way around this and should have some new costume entries up shortly.
Thanks,
Lisa :)

Ok my lovelies, it's time for me to bid you farewell.
The very wonderful Lisa will be taking the reins and keeping you updated with top Rocky purchases for here on in, so remember to leave a message if you find anything yourself too.

So long, and thanks for all the fish...

MJ x

Crikey, baby pink is a hard colour to get a dress in these days from the shops - Ebay is very important!

While I'm sure there are excellent Brad jackets doing the rounds in store, I saw a great one in BHS today. Admittedly, it was in the womens section for some reason, so aside from the zip presumably going the 'wrong' way, it's all good!

Columbia/Frank/Riff

Lovely Lisa is back with more finds from Ebay.

'Here's another tailcoat from the same seller. I buy stuff from her sometimes and she also often stocks icky fox furs that would be great for floorshow Frank. I'll keep an eye out for them.'

Columbia/Riff
Lovely Lisa from the sadly homeless and defunct Republic of Ireland cast provided this update;

"Found this nice little morning suit Ebay listing, it's cheap as chips and would work maybe for Riff Raff or Columbia. :)"

Janet Shoes
Aldos have opened (or at least started advertising) their new shoe website. From experience, I can say that every shoe/boot I've bought from them has been a comfortable dream. So if you're looking for comfy patent leather Janet shoes, look no further. For £20, you can have these beauties. Ok, so they have a slightly odd heel and a little bit of detail, but they're handy patent leather black shoes with the right toe shape - why fight it?

Riff
I've discovered recently that 'black tailcoat' brings up very expensive tailcoats, while just simply 'tailcoat' will give you affordable gems like this tailcoat with a chest of 38".

Magenta
One Timewarp dress awaiting white collars and cuffs in a size 16.
No FA boots around, but these in a size six look pretty damn good and also have a sturdy heel on them, which is a bonus.
Unusually, we have some luck with the dinner sheer dress today, this in a size 12. Cut off the arm and you're there.

Columbia
While there aren't any custom made tailcoats or top hats, you could always use this amazing fabric to cover them, so long as you don't mind buying from the US. From what I can tell, it's the FA fabric to use. Or you could just buy a foil dot jacket to begin with.
Here's a beautiful top hat - almost a shame to goldify it!
A lovely cut bustier to cover with sequins - you may need to put a zip in the back. Size 10/12.
Just add ribbons to these size 14 shorts.
