Halloween...
...the one time a year we all get a chance to dress up in any costume we like with no fear of recrimination. In other words, Christmas for Trannies.
The American tranniesphere is already abuzz, Emily is showing off potential outfits, and Katherine has carved a great jack-o-lantern. Trannies are always looking for an excuse to dress up, and as excuses go Halloween is pretty much a no-brainer.
Actually, the last time I dressed up for Halloween was about 25 years ago, and it was probably as the default "ghost" look. The design is simple: take one of Mums's old sheets, cut two eye holes.
The sheet was always about a metre too long, and the eye holes were always far too far apart, which (combined with the fact that I was wandering around in the dark) resulted in the village being terrorised by a very short and extremely corporeal phantom who kept bumping into things and falling over.
I grew up in a village which was right next to an American air base, which we used to sneak onto at Halloween to trick-or-treat, because the families there always gave out a lot more sweets. Security wasn't quite as tight on air bases in those days! There was a rumour at my school at the time, which I wasn't inclined to disbelieve, that once a year the US Air Force sent over a Galaxy full of candy bars to the air base, just for Halloween!
Anyway, I haven't had the opportunity to dress up for halloween since, but that dry patch will end this weekend because I've been invited to a fancy dress party at Sophie's place. The theme is "Dead Famous", and I've been wracking my brains to think of who I could go as.
I've just thought of someone. It's gonna be great. :-)

I now have an image of a miniture Becky in a sheet walking into trees going "ow" readjusting hair, walking off falling over the sheet and going "ow" then asking the post box for some sweeties please!
As long as she's okay.
Before I stepped out into the world as Karol, it was always New Years Eve that gave me the 'fancy dress' excuse. Of course me being me, I was sooo paranoid about people realising that I was a trannie that I never dared join in, even though all my friends were in dresses. It literally took years of pestering ('it's only a bit of fun', 'dont be so boring') before I got dolled up and went out for the first time.
A few weeks later as I walked into my local night club (in drab), the doorman commented 'you look better in a dress'. Which kind of explained why I was never asked to do it again! lol
(Should I get my coat?)
Glad to hear Siobhan's ok, I was concerned as I know when I take a break from my usual haunts that things arent good for me, lol not that anyone would notice, anyway please pass on my good wishes if you see her
no clue.
You can gain some clues here. :-)
I love this time of year and I love to be able to point to at least ONE good thing we've given the world.
We didn't invent Halloween. We're certainly good at it, but we didn't invent it, I don't think.
Yeah, forget I said anything.
