I was the Usherette from the original London show, so I made a Sloane Cinemas headdress, Denton pin, and a “tray” of ice creams with flavours based on all the movies mentioned in Science Fiction, Double Feature.

(The Brad and Janet sitting next to me were most put out that I made them vanilla 😃)

The shadowcast of Excited Mental State (@RockyHorrorTO.bsky.social) were fantastic (and lovely to chat to at the merch stand!). My favourite has to be the Criminologist though – putting up with getting booed every time and being a great grandfather clock 🌎

Well, this has been a Halloween week for the ages! Cheeky wee trip to Toronto to celebrate The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s 50th anniversary. And I got to meet the legend that is Patricia Quinn (and talk about The Box of Delights with her!)

And there’s the book you’re reading! That’s my absolute favourite thing.

It broke my heart that they changed the cover of the Ahlberg’s Baby Catalogue so you don’t get that anymore 😢

I feel the same way about history / genealogy blogs. Did you do any of the research yourself or is *everything* AI?

Thank you! I'm flying to a big event in a couple of weeks and was really hoping I'd get my vaccine invitation soon. I'm booked now!

Jen Eggleston @randomlygen.bsky.social · 17d

Ditto!

FYI for BC residents, if you want a COVID booster/flu shot, I was able to search in my emails for a previous "Book your next vaccine appointment" from a previous year and click on the link and it just let me schedule my covid vaccine.

Came home and continued my little October project by finding the most perfect sparkly thread for *someone’s* outfit

Spent my Thanksgiving afternoon watching Linus O’Brien’s wonderful documentary, Strange Journey.

I’ve been a huge Rocky Horror fan for as long as I can remember and the film is a fantastic celebration of the people, the show, the movie, and everything that it represents 🫦

Jen Eggleston @randomlygen.bsky.social · 19d

Agreed, because then we get to keep Bullets Over Broadway

Thank YOU, HeritageBC! The gift certificate to Patina Brewing Co is very appreciated. Maybe I’ll get some inspiration for the food-based theme for 2026’s Heritage Week! 🥘

So much of @theoatmeal.bsky.social's comic on AI art resonated with me. Go read it.

If you've used AI to generate a picture for your blog, I just assume the actual text is of similar quality. Use a picture of a source or your desk or out the window!

Don't vanish into the quagmire of AI slop.

Panel from a comic by The Oatmeal about AI art. Text reads, "It's a child at a Casio keyboard, pretending."

Definitely watch The X Files. If only for spotting all the Vancouver locations
