Title: Did you dress differently for Halloween today?
Post by: Tessa James on October 31, 2013, 07:33:45 PM
Halloween has traditionally been a great holiday for gender bending costumes and before I came out this was one day I could "get away" with wearing a girly outfit or....

It was kinda strange today as I continued to just be and present as myself and enjoyed all the costumed people all around.  What a fun change to be a "real" girl now.

What about you?  Wear anything special?  Got any scary pics to share?

I have felt I have been dressing up every day for Halloween until last year. I just love being myself now but I remember those days when Halloween was getting close and I could look forward to going out as myself. Today I enjoyed watching all the crazy ideas people came up with even the giant blue smurf.

Today I'm wearing a few articles of men's clothing for Halloween!

Tessa,

I used to do that.  This year I went as a skeletal Court Jester.  It's just a plain costume.  I'm more relaxed than in the past.

Happy Halloween!

Jen

As a last minute impulse, I got out my old motorcycle drag racing leathers, jacket, pants and boots. Sans helmet and gloves. But I did have my old prescription riding shades and a bandanna, I borrowed from my daughter. I arrived at my AA meeting and enjoyed the stares. Who is that new person? Is that a man or a woman?

Surprise! I'm both! My girl friends thought I looked so hot and the guys can figure out I am no poser biker. LOL! That ticked off a few manly men, just the reaction I wanted. This girl can spin wrenches and show them my tail through the traps at the finish line. The best man for the job is a woman! I smelled nice too, old leather and racing fuel. Giggle. They all wanted hugs though. Joann

A friend did makeup for me and I turned in to a beautiful witch (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,146688.msg1269014.html#msg1269014).
