A DAY WITH ...
RICHARD 0’BRIEN
by Pandora De Pledge
Richard and I had only met a couple of times
socially so I was looking forward to spending
a day with the legendary character behind
the Rocky Horror Show, host of The Crystal
Maze and character actor in too many
movies to mention. He has played alongside
the likes of Angelica Houston, Susan
Sarandon, Timothy Dalton, Max Von Sydow
and Drew Barrymore to name only a few. And
has recently appeared as the child catcher in
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
When our trusty driver Julia arrived with
Richard he was wearing a long length outfit
in shades of grey and cream. Many people
would have jumped to the conclusion 'dress'
but I immediately felt the outfit had much
more to do with comfort, flow, softness and
the simple premise that it felt nice to wear
rather than being hung up on the fact that the
bottom of the outfit was not broken in to two
legs, rather than being left as a single tube of
fabric which is far more comfortable. Isn't it
amazing how hung up people get over the
omission of two extra seams!
“If more men were to be
allowed by society,
their families and partners to
dress and express, they would
be better, happier people for
all concerned.”
After refreshments and nibbles we had a chat
about what we were going to do with the
shoot and both felt anything too 'drag' really
wasn't right. Instead we decided that showing
the beauty of Richard's feminine side was the
way to go. Richard is a person who not only
accepts his feminine side but embraces it as
a source of strength pointing out that, “If
more men were to be allowed by society,
their families and partners to dress and
express, they would be better, happier, people
for all concerned.” Richard also made the
point that there are many forms of “drag”
such as dressing in uniforms, (Police, Military
and Nursing for example). Such people are
often driven, partly by the garments worn, to
express a facet of their personality and to be
who they wish to be. I found this fascinating
because my dear friend Steffan Whitfield has
often said, "We are all born naked, everything
after that is drag."
We chose a varied selection of clothes and
accessories for the shoot and then began the
make-up. It's no secret that Richard is 61
years old but he has the skin of a person at
least 20 years younger and beautiful clear
blue eyes that sparkle like a naughty child.
Richard was complaining that he felt his jawline
could be firmer but due to a lack of hair a
surgeon, he had spoken to, felt it impossible
to hide the scars that cosmetic surgery would
leave. Steffan, (who was helping with the
shoot), and I told him he didn't need surgery.
But we all came to the conclusion that some
surgeons would graft a breast on your forehead
if the price was right. So let that be a
warning to us all !

When I showed Richard his
completed make-up and hair
I was very flattered to be told,
“I think this is the best
I've looked.... EVER !”
I couldn't help thinking that ‘she’ looked
rather like Alana Stewart (Rod Stewart's exwife)
when a moment later Richard
exclaimed, “I look a little like a rock star's exwife!”
Luckily not Courtney Love!
We began shooting with various images and
it was interesting to note that Richard was
only uncomfortable with the image that
required padded hips and bottom and rather
obvious boobs, (we were going for a kind of
Veronica Lake sort of thing - shown here with
red background). Richard felt it was too
"unnatural", something I could well relate to,
because during my own personal journey I
have never used fake boobs, etc because
they served almost as a reminder of what I
didn't have.
The most laughter and smiles
came when we were ready to
shoot the ‘fairy’ pictures that
you can see on the cover of
this issue of
Utterly FABULOUS.
As many of you may know, the theme for this
years ‘Transfandango’ event is ‘Fairy Tale
Fantasy’. This event, now in it’s second year,
was brought together by Richard to raise
money for Manchester Children’s Hospital via
The Wallness Children’s Charity and as a
proud parent of three children this is a charity
very close to Richard's heart.
We shot many pictures as Richard effortlessly
went from pose to pose giving any fairy
godmother a run for her money.
Some of the pictures from the shoot are to be
personally autographed and sold with proceeds
going to the Transfandango event and
the Wallness Children’s Charity.
Shooting over and safely back at my home
we shared a drink and generally chatted
about anything and nothing. This part of the
day was off the record but ... I was left feeling
that here was a person who was a strong
individual who had seen and experienced a
great deal, some very good, some very bad.
An individual who has great empathy for people
in the TG community because they too
have suffered the prejudice of others, simply
for “not quite being the same as everybody
else”.
Well thank God, because without those differences
Richard O'Brien would not be the gentle,
cultured and funny person we all know
and love. For all the good work you do and
our day together, I thank you.
Vive le difference !
