DON’T DREAM IT, BE IT

The Cult Classic

In a castle on a hill in Denton, Ohio, a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania arrived to teach the world that pleasure is not a sin and that conformity is the only crime. This deliciously decadent Art Deco print captures the Rocky Horror Picture Show at its most gloriously transgressive: the corset and pearls suggesting both bondage and liberation, the laboratory beakers bubbling with forbidden science, and the Transylvania castle rising against a storm-tossed sky. The red lips suggest the show’s most iconic image, the candles burn with gothic romance, and the Time Warp dancers move in eternal midnight. This is the portrait of a phenomenon that proved don’t dream it, be it—and that being it, when done with fishnets and courage, could change everything.
