Paganism? I do it for fun. It’s not my tradition but since I came out, it has become one. Halloween is one of the gay holidays. Why? Because Halloween is the time that we get to dress up to whatever we would like to be. It’s not an allegiance to anything or a worship of something. It’s just one excuse to have a party.

It was only a few years ago that I started to enjoy Halloween. My friend Tasha asked me to join him in drag (never done drag in my life) and I’m telling you - the heels were the most painful to wear in the whole getup. I don’t mind the itchy wig, the crazy make-up but I couldn’t bear the thought of wearing heels again. So, the year after that - I was a monk, and then Dracula thereafter. I enjoy wearing halloween costumes. This time, I would like to butch. My ex-boyfriend was a pirate last Halloween and an excellent outfit at that. I really thought the guys that wore the NFL costumes were the sexiest. I am not into sports that much, I’m only into sports because of the cute guys that wear the football gear.

Now that I’m single again - maybe I’d try something else. Who knows? People might think I’m sexy too! Yeah right! I am looking forward to this coming Halloween. Besides, it has become a tradition for me and my friends to go the the Halloween ball every year anyway. No heels for me this time — football gear matched with shoulder pads. Yum!
