Sweet Transvestite

Ok, maybe the one RHPS performance at The New Art in Champaign, but honest, that was it.

Changed the title again, after realizing I just don't have the business sense to pass for Nabiki:

Nabiki Tendo is the middle daughter of Soun Tendo. Approaching everything from a business perspective and a somewhat cynicist attitude, she lives to profit off of the situations she is thrust into, no matter how good or bad they seem to be for her or for those involved. She has, for example, taken advantage of Ranma's curse that changes him from boy to girl many times.

And for another thing, I don't have a cynicist attitude.

Hey, fuck you too, pal.

No, my favorite Ranma ½ character is the One True Fiancé, the cute fiancé, Ukyo Kuonji:

Years later, Ukyo found Ranma and tried to take her revenge. Because she was so embarrassed by Ranma's rejection, she had begun dressing as a boy so that she would never have to deal with the opposite sex again.

I mean, I like okonomiyaki, and the idea of attacking people with a giant spatula sounds perfectly reasonable to me. . .

El padre de Ukyo tenía un carro de okonomiyaki (una especie de pizza) con el que se dedicaba a la cocina y venta ambulante; su pequeña hija le ayudaba. En aquellos tiempos, Ranma y Genma entrenaban por las montañas cerca de donde Ukyo y su padre tenían el carro. Ranma siempre bajaba al carro en busca de okonomiyaki gratis, y Ukyo se enfrentaba a él; Ranma llamaba "Ucchan" a Ukyo, y ni siquiera sabía que era una chica; de sus continuos combates surgió una bonita amistad.

Sin embargo, Genma y el padre de Ukyo acuerdan en secreto el noviazgo de ambos niños, teniendo como dote el carro de okonomiyaki, a pesar de que Ranma ya está prometido a Akane; así, Genma decide preguntar a Ranma para decidirse: "¿Qué te gusta más, Ukyo o el okonomiyaki?"; Ranma responde lo segundo, y Genma coge el carro de okonomiyaki y se larga con su hijo, abandonando a Ukyo.

Diez años después, Ukyo reaparece retando y venciendo a Genma, y acaba en la misma clase del Furinkan que Ranma y Akane, donde reta a Ranma tras recordar toda la historia del abandono; Ranma no sabe por qué Ukyo está tan vengativo tras todos estos años, pues desconoce que es una chica y que está prometido a ella. Tras un combate en el que Ukyo castiga severamente a Ranma, éste se recupera rápido e inicia un feroz contraataque, que culminará cuando Ranma coja a Ukyo del pecho... y note un bulto extraño; Ukyo se revuelve dándole una bofetada, y Ranma la mira incrédulo. Su primera reacción es mojarla con agua caliente (será por costumbre), pero el puñetazo que le da Ukyo le demuestra que no es un caso como el suyo.

I ALWAYS watch the Rocky Horror when I pass it on tv. Its too damn addictive!

I, ummm, own the 2 Disc dvd. It was a gift....

and I've seen it done live twice in the past 18 months.

Okay, confession over.

Come visit & I can introduce you to three ex-cast members around here- RiffRaff, Eddie, & Columbia.
[In fact, you nearly met RR a few weekends back in Chi.]

So come up to the lab and see what's on the slab. I see you shiver with antici-

-pation.

I am so visiting Columbus. And I can see him as RiffRaff, which could be taken as a compliment if you stretch the definition a little.

The original is in Elvira's new movie. Which looks quite deliberately awful. I can't wait.
