In Golden Underwear

I was still working for cgs and given to Volkswagen.
We had a "competition", online and one of the winners wrote back, "I am sorry, I don´t have time that day, I give the win to you 😘."

So, Ingo and I went to castle Wolfenbüttel where Ingo Appelt gave a show and MAN.
That guy stripped!!!
Why the heck, I was so surprised I did not take a pic - he wore GOLDEN underwear!!!!
 It was a TIME WARP!
 


 
 "Time Warp" is a song from theatrical and cinematographic productions of The Rocky Horror Show since 1973 to this day, including the 1975 original film... The servants of Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia perform this song to the guests Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, joined by the Phantoms (or transylvanians). In early productions, this song was after "Sweet Transvestite", but from the movie and onwards, it's sung before."

This man is SO FUNNY. 

"Appelt works as a comedian on German television. Appelt worked in different German comedyshows, for example in 7 Tage, 7 Köpfe, Freitag Nacht News, in RTL Samstag Nacht or in Quatsch Comedy Club on television broadcaster ProSieben."

Back in the day he was a lot thinner 😉 
But he´s still funny, he was on a show yesterday night (he didn´t strip).

The series:

"These inventions are older than you think
 

 Central heating
 
For those of us not fortunate enough to live in a tropical paradise, the idea of ​​surviving the winter without central heating is bone-chilling. The ancient Romans probably felt the same way, which is why they developed the hypocaust, a central heating system that was used almost universally in private homes and public baths. While houses with hypocaust heating are no longer being built today, this ancient innovation can still be seen in many ruins in Rome, as well as in Roman centers in England and Germany.... "
 
-2C / 28F here. Glad we have heating...

Tim Curry is such a hoot as Dr. Frank N Furter. Golden underwear? My lingerie drawer is boring. 😺

We don't have central heating but we do have storage heat and it works well.

I shall google and learn more about hypocaust heating systems. I like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but it isn't one of my many favourites, though I do own the DVD.

Iris Flavia said...

I never heard of storage heat? But if it works well :-) All good!

Iris Flavia said...

I didn´t find the DVD!!!! Buhuu. I lost 2 DVDs over our moves and that is one of them. And I have no picture of Ingo Appelt in golden underwear, either.
