Another thread reminded me of how much I once looked forward to Halloween. As a kid we could anticipate bags of candy for our efforts while a simple sheet was a ready costume where I could be unrecognizable. My big family knew which homes gave out the nickel candy bars (huge at the time) and what neighborhoods to avoid. We scarred ourselves silly and roamed the night as free as could be. Then as a young adult I found it to be the perfect time to wear a girl's cat suit or that princess outfit. What a lot of fun!
So now our neighborhoods are quieter and kids need escorts everywhere while adults party on. What memories or plans do you entertain for this spooky holiday?
I'll probably be spending it with my nieces and nephews, if I can convince my parents to let me dress up in a girl's costume I will do so; but otherwise I will just try to enjoy the night as I usually do.
I always was into the gorey side of halloween so every year since I was of age to participate I've been doing that annual zombie walk, its always tons of fun xD ..Oh and watch nightmare before christmas with my niece we are both huge fans of Jack Skeleton.

Having some kids around can sure amp up the sparkle and fun factor! Hope you do get into that girl's costume. It's just for fun right? Or do your parents already know how you feel?

Are we good at dress up or what!! ;D
Lol Ikr! I love going to the local thift store buying cheap clothes and tearing them up and making them all zombiefied, then doing all the nasty makeup that makes me look scary, Halloween is my all time favorite holiday.
People in the US are now in to decorating their homes more than ever. Lots of animated monsters, huge blow up things that need a pump and tigers, oh my ;) ;D
I cant remember what kind of outfit it was I was thinking of but I reember I wanted to get realy creative. Oh yes, Lightning, that is one of my favourite Lightning outfits from (Lightning Returns)
And last year, I got to Be Kitty :) Before last year, I did proudly wear, my nieces Cat ears when she got fed up wih it digging in to her head.
But, the look on her face last year when she turned towards me with bright eyes saying, does that mean we can dress the same this year :), that was all the incentive I needed.
I'm going to the Danzig Halloween show. I don't need a costume, just a lot of black and some gothy boots. Kids don't trick-or-treat here because it's too far up in the hills, so no crazy decor for me. Well, no more than the usual. ;D

Here too! I have always been a scare junkie I love being scared(movie and haunted houses wise) so I'll always check out a good haunted house around my area. I have heard there are really good ones in the US that have waiting lines and you have to sign a permission/health forms.

I'm out to my parents as a trans woman already; but they aren't really accepting yet. Still, I do hope I can get into that girl's costume, but I'll find a way to enjoy the day if I can't.
i am dressing up as a professional business women at work for our halloween party which is when i start presenting. What better time to come out to (EVERYBODY) at work.
Going as Emperor Palpatine or my own version of a sith lord.

this year I think I might just wear a costume for the first time in more than a decade. When I came out to people I was often asked if I dressed up as a girl for halloween each year because its easy to get away with and I always tell them its the opposite, this is not a game of dress up and it would feel wrong to me to do something like that because it is not a costume it is me.
now this year having just transisioned I am thinking of finally getting to wear a woman's costume unfortunatlly I don't have a body conductive to most costumes. I have also considered going as a female version of normally male character, its going to be a lot of thinking.

Serena your body is perfectly fine girl! wear whatever you feel more comfortable in, tho I can agree with you at a point halloween doesn't really offer a big selection to the more curvy girls mind you I am FTM and wouldn't wear one but I do love a nice curvy girl and they should explore those options when selling their products.
My body is far from fine. But like most girls I aim to find cloths that hide the worst of it. That picture is sorta far away so the up close is not as flattering. The dress hides my lack of waist, hips or butt. Without those clothing options are very limited, wearing much larger tops to bottoms and needing bottoms that flair out to hide things limits things, pants are too painful to even think about wearing right now. My lack of breasts also causes problems as can be expected nothing that I can't wear a bra under will work.
So ya lots of clothing that just can't work and lots of costumes that are impossible.
Serena
Oh! I was just thinking about this today! I'm ready to find that perfect slutty outfit, haha.

Now I just have to get the right panties, garter belt, stockings, and heels. And do something with my hair. And organize a party where I can actually wear it, lol.
I like this idea of dressing up on Halloween. I may have to do it.
I'm still not out for everyone, so I think Halloween is an excellent oportunity to dress feminine and no one will mind.
I'm not sure of what to wear yet, but I think I'm gonna go for a Scary Circus style.
this thread is going to have to continue until haloween so we can all post our outfits

OMG and it comes in plus sizes, I want one!
Indeed it does! But their site wide sale is over now I think, unless you bought it already. :-)
Oh! They have a new sale today apparently, same 45% discount, different code.
Oh you! Ever been affectionately described as an enabler?? And then i don't need much enabling to go shopping anymore so thank you!

My last Halloween as a boy (2013), I went as GG Allin. The year before that, my ex girlfriend and I went as a combo: she was a priest, and I was a little boy. (I stay friends with my exes.) I don't think I really had a lot of good costumes before that. Yeah, those are the only good costumes I've ever really done. Now that I think about it, I've for the most part sucked at Halloween. I kinda wanna be Chun Li, but I don't know how I'd put together THAT costume!
(As a note, I'd do that costume right. No ->-bleeped-<-ty racial stereotypes would be involved.)
I mean, I'll NEVER be able to top that GG costume! I killed it that year!
You know what? I think I'm gonna be Link. A girl'd-up Link. Aw, hell yeah! I'm stoked on this!

Such a cute fairy costume, if I wasn't painfully poor right now, much to fat and lacking in any of the feminine curves and attributes to make it look good I would be all over it.
I always loved faeries, especially when they are a bit dark.

oh I'm not real curvy either and I have virtually no boobs at all, but it's a corset dress, so hopefully it'll push things into the right places. :) I've worn a corset before starting HRT and it did a pretty good job. I'm hoping it'll do even better now!
And, I found the best shoes to go with it! I decided on a sparkly black strappy stilleto. rawr!
Back in the '90's I was going to go out for Halloween as a witch with big tits, but that never happened for some reason. I think it was too much for my then girl friend, lol. Now-a-days I don't do Halloween, even though it was my favorite time of the year, because I'm dealing with the real ghosts now with my early "Halloween" trip middle of next month (September) in Gettysburg. That place hasn't failed me yet for the paranormal! :o
to be blunt my chest is too flat, my sholders too wide and my stomach way way too fat to wear anything like that, i am sure I couldent even get the corset on. really I have a nightmare finding anything clothing related that actually fits much less something cute like that.
Serena, who is done with life, its just too much work and not enough time to recover from the pain.
