Costumes

I was thinking about coming up with a sci-fi fem costume to wear to a sci fi convention or for halloween. Halloween is a time where the "rules" are slack so if I screw up and don't look fem enough it wouldn't be as embarasing. The problem is most sci fi female outfits are shall we say big on clevage, something I can't quite come up with. Also it would be hard to explain to my wife, to whom I have yet to come out to, that I spent the kind of money needed to get clevage.

So, anyone have an idea on a sci fi or fantasy costume that tends to be buttoned up? Also I start the party with six feet and one inch of me with some fairly solid bulk so the costume needs to fit my generaly amazonian frame and I see no point in dressing unless there are some serious high heels involved. I'm thinking I've got my black stilletto heel boots that I'd like to work into the costume because they fit me so well and I don't tend to have the same foot squirm as I do with shoes.

So, any good ideas for an amazonian prude in black stilletto boots?

I probably can't help, but when before all the wonderfull things available now, like breast forms and OLDER tg told me they used duct tapp to create the illusion of breasts. I have no idea how they did it. of course you could experiment.

How about Star Trek, the original version? No cleavage (it was the '60's after all), and you could get away with boots as you didn't much see Uhuru's legs - but she looked very sexy! And you get to wear a short skirt :-).

Hugs, Brenda

you could go with the 2009 Star Trek Uniform it was high cut and showed no cleavage

Or Princess Leia from the original Star Wars i.e. the White Gown and cinnabun hair style

or Seven of Nine from the Star Trek Voyager Series

of if oyu don't want to do the Star Wars / Star Trek thing , why not Tank Girl?

Breastforms + Duct Tape = Instant Cleavage. :)

Some of my more memorable past Halloween/Cos-Play costumes... Sailor Moon, Kagome Higurashi (Inuyasha), Psylocke (X-Men), Dark Phoenix (X-men), Laura Croft (Tomb Raider), and my personal fav... Wonder Woman.

An original Trek outfit would be hot. Opaque stocking are regulation according to the manual. So are fishnets for those who were wondering. But this may be the outfit that I use to wedge my wife's mind open about me coming out as a CD. Also I may be wearing this in a South Dakota winter. Short skirts and high winds... Brrr.... But for a convention, me likey.

As for the breastforms and duct tape I've got to work my wife into this slowly, dropping that kind of scratch on brestforms would urine her off fast and make this into another way for me to waste money. So I will have to save those kind of costumes for later. If I can pull it off I'd love to do Black Canary. She is way hot and I think I could pull that off with enough girdle power.

As I've let Rochelle come out and play more and more I've noticed a distinct gothy attitude that she likes. I've got a black fishnet body stocking that just feels so right whenever I wear it. I've got to work that into an outfit. Also I am into horror and haunted houses so something more along that vein would be cool.

So I did some digging around on Amazon.com to see what they have for clothing and found a treaure trove of victorian/steampunk stuff. Since I worked my butt off this week I figured I can splurge a bit on myself. I've got a faux leather corset, red wig and black lace gloves coming in now, in another week or two I will get the victorian black lace trimmed skirt coming along with a very fem top hat and a long sleve high collar blouse that will look good with all this. I may even get the gothic lace parasol to fem it out to the max. I also may get the hip and butt maker undergarment if my mark III model hips/butt inserts don't work.

I figure with all this put togather with the body stocking, boots and some kind of spider web looking shawl I can be a Black Widow. The makeup could be heavy and gothic which would be good for my facial features. I can carry a purse filled with all manner of dangerous looking things for killing off inconveinent husbands. I've got lots of leftover vials and syringes from my medical stuff and some nasty collored water and the labels removed should do the trick. I wonder if one can get a steel bladed fan with black or red lace, something very fem but deadly looking. Go all dangerous and sexy at the same time.

The question I have is how to incorporate my wife into the costume idea. The do these contests in Deadwood for Halloween with some amazing prizes. Group costumes usualy do best. I wonder if I could talk her into being the soon to be deceased husband #7. She isnt' a small woman, she wears 3X/4X clothes and weighs in at over 300 lbs. I bet she could pull off the classic wealthy capitalist look, if we can find the clothes. Any ides on resources for victorian era mens wear?

      https://www.advocate.com/crime/trans-teen-jazlynn-johnson-killed   This is a tragic ruination of two young lives.  It is very sad.  May Jazlynn rest in peace.   Carolyn Marie

      Well, here's the big questions:  What does it mean to be masculine?  What does it mean to be a woman?    I've been around a lot of rule-bending in those areas.  There's all sorts of "traditional" views about what men and women do.  Men work on mechanical things, defend/protect, earn a living, play rough sports, etc.  Women cook and clean, are gentle and nurturing, value aesthetics over function, etc.   Yet, my very "masculine" industrial-manager husband cooks just as well as any Betty Crocker wannabe, and tells the bedtime stories that are most in-demand by the kids.  My GF, who is surely "ALL Girl" is a highly skilled mechanic, a street racer, was busily laying concrete while 6 months pregnant, and practices kenjutsu (Japanese sword fighting skills).  And me?  I'm AFAB but I'm infertile and I feel like I should have had a male body...yet I possess very little in the way of "manly" skills or desire to acquire them.  I'm in my boy form these days, but pretty much useless for accomplishing "boy stuff."     I think my family blew those definitions out of the water.  Yet, somehow our family structure is also religiously patriarchal....and happily so!  It'll bend your brain to try to figure that one out.    I'd say its just important to be you, do what you do best, and stick your tongue out at anybody who doesn't like it.

      Welcome to the board gizgizgizzie! I sure can understand what dysphoria feels like. I found it stayed in my head during nearly all waking hours. Although, sometimes held in a little deeper. But it was triggered easily. I hope you can find that place you feel comfortable with yourself. This is a good place to find help as you traverse your journey.   Jennifer

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".
