Halloween.
I'm not a candy-passing-out/costume-wearing kind of guy. Luckily, I co-habitate with someone like me. No decorations, no candy, no lights, no costumes. Some people go totally overboard on the decorations. We usually go out to dinner Halloween night, just so we don't disappoint any rugrats. And don't get me started about the people that carve pumpkins and never use the pumpkin guts for pie..............
Trying to find a costume is too much work and for what? A couple of hours of drunken fun with other costumed people, portraying their alter-egos? I have two friends that are good at coming up with interesting costumes that make people think and I enjoy what they create for themselves.
And, I refuse to go out all dragged out.
Please, someone explain to me................what is the fascination with drag? Why do so many gay men feel the need to put on a dress, makeup, wig and ugly shoes? Men dressed as women...............not pretty. Not even close! I'm a guy.........I have a penis between my legs. Why would I want to dress up like a woman? No, I don't think its funny. Personally, it actually turns me off.
I think the hubby and I are probably the only? gay men/or part of a select few, who haven't donned a dress.
Ever.
No interest on our part.
I'm not trying to attack people who perform drag.
Yes, we've been to drag shows on both coasts and have even enjoyed some of them too. I still think some of the funniest drag queens can be found in Atlanta(BackStreet). They know how to work the crowd and their performances have left my sides aching from laughter.
Actually, if you think about it, drag comes in many forms.........leather, bear, twink, jock, queens, kings, cowboy, etc. [To BrettCajun, if you're reading this.........Dude, you're looking hot in those pics with the camies. Nice military drag].
You get my drift, really to each, his own.
I hope everyone has a safe Halloween weekend, however you're dressed.
But PLEASE
don't drink and drive.........
Nothing uglier.......
than being hung over...........
in drag....................
in the drunk tank..........
Um, no I will not be in costume this weekend. So I should be easy to recognize. And if you happen to be one of those guys who I think is cute/handsome/hot and you're in drag this holiday? Yeah, you just blew it for me..........Thanks!
My one good thing about Halloween...................

Drag is a hoot. You should try it, but admittedly it takes much more work than just any 'ol costume.
AND CHARLENE WAS PRETTY, DAMMIT!
I love my penis too, and plan on keeping and using it as much as possible. But sometimes messing with people's expectations of what they think you should be is fun experimentation. Some people get remarkably disturbed...
As for passing out candy, too many kids in DC don't even bother to dress up, showing up at your door with a Safeway grocery bag, so I don't bother being at home on that evening. And I don't like killing pumpkins, so in that way I too am Humbug.
I hate Halloween. With a capital H. And drag scares me.
What, no comment approval, even when I was civil? You did, after all, ask: "Please, someone explain to me..."
So I tried. But I suspect it's rhetorical, and thou protest too much about drag. Ever wonder why that is?
I've never worn a dress. Could you imagine??
I'm not even sure I have a particular drag. white wife-beaters and jeans have sort of become like a uniform for me cause I wear them all the time. but just cause I'm comfortable. But I guess it's sort of redneck drag.
I'm not too into Halloween either.
Oh Jimbo,
Why do you insist on trying to analyze everything?
It was a simple question and meant to be more of a humourous post.
Sorry, I guess I don't get your humor right away. Plus I was cranky and defensive after interacting with yet another uptight gay Republican. That sends me flying off the handle...
>>>Why do you insist on trying to analyze everything?
Well then I wouldn't be Jimbo then, would I? And then I wouldn't have anything to blog about.
I guess. There is a gay republican that plays vball here. They are a strange bird.
I know what you mean about flying off the handle. Half the time I think of nothing more than shutting his mouth by force....Umm, cough, sorry!
I LOVE Halloween because it gives me the chance to watch an endless weekend of horror films without stepping foot outside. But if I do leave the house, I come up with the BEST costumes ever. :o)
But while we're on the subject of drag. Can some of the straight ladies explain why they feel the need to dress like slutty trash on Halloween? I think this is the best night for scary costumes!!!
