you are obsessed with Takarazuka if...

I would like to write down my personal manifestation of Zuka obsession... I wonder what for? I only realize once again that I am a cute champion of Weirdness Olympics

...every time you hear the word 'treasure' in Japanese you strain your ears, but then you are disappointed - the word does not end with 'zuka'
...watching Fashion TV puzzles you every time. what's the 'top model'? you only know 'Top Star' and 'Top Musumeyaku'
...you think that Ogata Megumi-san or Urara Takano-san or Tanaka Mayumi-san are obviously 'otokoyaku seiyuu'!
...you search for a big unpaired single eardrop. well, a pair would be nice too, as one of them might fall down and get lost once
...you are thinking of what pattern to take for embroidering your suit with sparkling sequins
...you have 'musumeyaku days' when you prefer to put on dresses or skirts, and 'otokoyaku days' when you dress in a suit/jeans/trousers/etc
...you are trying very hard to recall your height, to understand if you are suitable to be otokoyaku
...you are looking at your photo and for the first time in your life you are not sad about the AA size of your upper measurement
...you wonder what is takes to look so great in an official suit
...you begin using a liquid liner, though you disliked it previously
...you read about a 'snowy country' on a Japanese language class, and risk reading it as 'Snow Troupe' instead
...you go to watch a guest performance of a Saint-Petersburgh-based theatre which is one of the oldest and is considered to be classical, and end up choosing a performance which reminds of typical Takarazuka comedies like 'Higher than the sky of Paris', 'Guys and Dolls', etc.
...no matter what song you listen to, and what genre 'tis, you imagine a top combi dance / otokoyaku stair dance / all-troupe dance / another random Takarazuka-styled dance. and the song DOES match it
