Yep, Halloween, the "free pass" for crossdressers.
For the past several years, my wife and I have stayed away from home on Halloween night, mostly because the puppy is disturbed by people and noises outside. This year she is recovering from a fall and decided we should just stay home and deal with it. She bought a bunch of candy.
Normally we would not dress in costumes, we would just hand out the candy but for some reason, she decided we should dress up. She has a cow costume and a reindeer costume. While we were out shopping yesterday she said (out of the blue) "This is your chance dress up like a woman."
Now my standard advice to crossdressers dressing as a woman for Halloween is "Don't do it because you'll do such a good job, people will figure out that you don't just dress as a woman one night a year.", but my wife actually suggested it.
I thought about it and said "I'll dress up as a witch. I have a long black skirt and a black blouse, all I need is a hat." We went to Walmart but could not find a witch's hat. We forgot about Party City.
We got home and my wife said it wouldn't look right without the hat so in the end I was the cow and she was the reindeer. We sat there all night and not a single child came to the door. None. I could have been anything I wanted, nobody saw me.
