Why don’t you all name the character that my Halloween costume evokes for you? My favorite gets a shout out on my story. ….. Thanks @beejanland for being my 11th hour plus 1 last night. I am so truly grateful for your friendship these past 3 years. You’re just an amazing human being. And thanks for keeping me “abreast” of the many nip slips I had last night. Thanks @rachelzalis for the invite. Thanks @courtneyreum for the introduction. … I haven’t been feeling Halloween the past several years because I put so much pressure on myself to “BRING IT!”, “SLAY!”, “SNATCH WIGS!” (and so many other queer euphemisms that have been appropriated into the mainstream). I work so hard and adding more “werk” to an already insanely busy, high pressure schedule has just felt unmanageable. So I have been opting out of dressing up for halloween. … But halloween back when no one knew my name was about being creative, having fun and not being perfect. Actually the messier the better. So this year no stylist, no makeup artist, no hair stylist. Just me and my creativity, like the old days. I had so much frantic fun shopping for this look by myself just a few hours before the party started. And what a lovely surprise to find this one of a kind bustier and metal “breast belt” (my name for it) at @bizzybhollywood that I paired with a peplum belt I found on etsy several weeks ago that happened to arrive right on time. Remember to name this character. …. This is another reminder for me to embrace imperfection, reconnect with and nurture the creativity of my inner child and just take a chill pill. There are lessons in every moment … #TransIsBeautiful #halloween #halloweencostume
