New Zealand town to erect Rocky Horror monument
Green light for Hamilton's Rocky Horror statue
It was a jump too far to the left for two city councillors, but Hamilton's plans for a statue celebrating the Rocky Horror Picture Show have been approved.
Councillors voted 12-2 to back a Weta Workshop-designed tribute to former Hamiltonian and show creator Richard O'Brien for the city's main street.
Ratepayers will contribute $25,000 toward the $125,000 statue of Riff Raff, to be erected on the former Embassy Theatre site, possibly by November.
The Perry Foundation has pledged $100,000 and it is hoped that O'Brien can attend the unveiling.
O'Brien says he is "exceptionally flattered" by the statue plan.

Sorry Bloodygurl...I suppose it wasn't titled appropriately because it was in the New Zealand Herald, and so someone who was reading it would know that it was in New Zealand...However, you guys couldn't have known that...lol...All fixed now, thanks for pointing it out... :)
