Costume for Life

by Leslie Leigh
It was when my wife suggested that she wanted to be a man for Halloween that perhaps I
should have sensed something askew. Or perhaps fate dealt us a full house. As I tell you
my tale I am waiting for my "Man" to come home from the office and I have a secret..
I came home from the office on riday! October "#! and was e$hausted from a long week
of work. I was an art director at a small advertising agency in %vanstown! &irginia and
we had four accounts with deadlines that day. I opened the door and was met by my wife
'haron! clad in the se$iest outfit I had ever seen. Her breasts peeked out of the top of a
black corselet which nipped her slim waist even more. (arters flowing from the
corselette held up a pair of very sheer black silk hose. 'he was perched upon a pair of
classic five inch pumps. )he sight of her luscious body and the presence of her
overwhelming sensuality recharged me instantaneously.
*ithout a word! she lead me to the living room and took me in her arms. Our lips met
and the passion of her kiss was incredible. I tried to match her passion and we soon found
ourselves rolling about the living room like a couple of kids. It was only after we both
collapsed that 'haron broke the silence. "*e+ve been invited to a costume party
tomorrow night" I gave her a disappointed looks and said, "-ome on! )his week has been
a bitch and I was hoping to .ust kick back this weekend and veg out"
"I really want to go and I know we+ll have a great time. /esides ... I+ll make it worth your
while." A sly smile told me what she meant. I thought for a second and made an attempt
to stay home.
"I don+t have a costume. )he costume shops won+t have anything good left."
'he .ust smiled and said, "0on+t worry! I+ll take care of everything if you say yes."
*ith that her hand slid down and caressed my dick. 'he embraced me and once again
kissed me with renewed animal passion. *ithout even thinking a word escaped my lips.
"1es" *e headed toward the bedroom only after we had made love in every other room
in the house. )hat night was a blur of animal se$. *e made love with more energy than
we had on our honeymoon. At around 2 a.m. I passed out from total e$haustion.
I awoke to my wife+s sweet voice. "-ome on honey! we+ve got a /I( day ahead of us"
*hat was she talking about3 It was 45"# am and all I wanted to do was sleep.
"Here+s your coffee! (et up and let me get started."
I took a gulp of coffee and asked what was so pressing. 'he .ust smiled and said, "I+ve got
to get ready for the party tonight and you my darling have a LO) of work to do before
you are ready."
'he stepped toward her dresser and pulled an anti6ue .ewelry bo$ from a drawer. 'he
turned and opened the bo$ toward me.
"I got these at the 7othburg estate sale." Old lady 7othburg had past away a month ago.
'he and her husband had built the town of %vanstown. 'he was a very solitary woman.
Occasionally some one would claim to have seen her downtown! but she mainly kept to
herself since her husbands death.
Inside the bo$ there was a set of rings.
"I was thinking ahead and thought we could use this stuff as part of our costumes. I found
it odd that the man+s rings fit my finger as if it had been made for me. In fact it was the
rings that gave me the idea for our costumes. Here! try this on." 'he handed me a very
feminine ornate ring. I took off my wedding band and slipped it on my finger and it too
fit perfectly. I was in awe as I e$amined the ring. It was a grouping of precious and semi8
precious stones around a yellow gold figurine of a naked man. I was da99led by the detail
of the figurine. He was no more than a half inch long! but the creator of the ring had
captured even the most insignificant detail.
"Look at mine." I was torn out of my trance by my wife+s voice. 'he held her hand out for
me to look at the ring. It was the mate to my own. It was a masculine style with the same
stones! but the figure was that of a naked woman with her arms outstretched. ")hese two
look they are made for each other.
)hinking nothing of it we brought the rings together and the two figures locked in
embrace. A .olt of electricity ran up my spine. My knees went weak and I fell to the floor.
:pon gaining my composure I noticed that my wife was in a similar situation. *e looked
into each others eyes and smiled. "I guess we should have used some protection;"
Laughing out loud! we got to our feet and embraced.
All of a sudden I was e$cited about the night ahead. My wife saw the opportunity and
opened her closet. " I took the liberty of putting your costume together. I hope you like
it." *ith that she pulled out a slinky red se6uined dress that looked too small for her. My
mind was racing with ob.ections of how ridiculous I would look! but as I opened my
mouth three words escaped. " I Love It;"
"O.<. big boy! into the bathroom. I+ve got to sculpt you into a se$y bitch." 'he took my
hand and guided me into her plans. 'he stripped me naked and began to apply lotion to
my body. "*hat+s this stuff3" I asked. "Hair remover. =o lady would be caught dead with
fur all over her body." I .umped back out of her reach. "I don+t ...." " >uiet silly! I can
assure you that your hair will grow back. 0on+t worry". 'he continued to apply the lotion
until my entire body was covered. 'he told me to let it work it+s magic for a few minutes
and then she left the room to prepare my ensemble. I stood there in the bathroom. My
body covered in a pink lotion! staring at the ring. I was totally absorbed in its beauty
when my wife entered the room. "O.<. into the tub"
I stepped into the tub and my wife turned on the water. 'he drew the flow of water over
my body and as it trickled down my body and into the tub! my body hair washed down
the drain.
'he began to pluck my lashes with the talent that years of e$perience had brought her.
'he assured me that she would only get those few wild hairs! giving me a bushy /rooke
'hields look! but after almost two hours of work I knew that she had something else in
mind. )he funny thing was that I didn+t mind. In fact I found the idea of being convincing
as a woman very erotic.
*e returned to the bedroom and she began to dress me. 'he told me to turn around and I
did. 'he put a corset around my body and pulled it tight. ")ake a deep breath and hold it."
'he gave the laces a final tug and tied them off. 'he handed me a pair if black panties.
After caressing their silky feel I drew them up my denuded legs. As I pulled them into
place I reali9ed that they were not designed for a male+s anatomy. My wife also noticed.
"*e+re going to have to do something about that;" *ith that she told me to remove the
panties. 'trangely! my heart sank. 'he picked something up and said, "I thought that
might be a problem so I got this." 'he held up a flesh colored device. " It+s called a gaff
and it+s made to hide those unsightly bulges." 'he then slid it into place. 'he manipulated
my cock and balls and tightened the gaff. ")here! now put your panties back on." I looked
down and was ama9ed to see a small mound that used to be my se$. 'he pulled out a
couple sacks which she placed in the cups of the corset. )he added weight of the filled
cups was a little disorienting! but felt very good. I ran my hands over my new contours
and felt a chill in my groin. 'he sat me on the edge of the bed and showed me how to put
on my stockings and attach them to the garters. 'he handed me the other stocking and I
duplicated her moves. I was ama9ed how the shear fabric felt on my hairless leg. I was
really starting to en.oy this. My wife took a step back to admire her work. " 1ou+re
coming along nicely. =o ?eeking." 'he reached for the dress and handed it to me. As I
slid the dress over my head and pulled it down into place it seemed very snug! but
strangely my body seemed to adapt to its shape. My wife walked toward me, " And now
for the crowning glory" 'he slid a long brunette wig onto my head. )he feeling of the soft
hair on my shoulders was intense. I wanted to see how I looked but my wife wouldn+t let
me. 'he draped a towel over my shoulders and began to style my wig and apply my
make8up. -lose this eye! open this one... purse my lips! suck in my cheeks. I thought that
the facial contortions were a little e$cessive! but I was in the hands of a master when it
came to make8up! so I .ust rela$ed and en.oyed it. Once again she admired her work, "
(irlfriend! you+re going to be fighting off the guys tonight." 'he touched up my makeup!
handed me a pair of pumps which I slid on my silky feet! stood me up and steadied me.
)hen I was turned toward the full length mirror on the back of the bedroom door. )he
image that met my ga9e was not my own. A beautiful woman stood before me. Any hint
of my masculinity was long gone.
I sat down on the bed and watched my wife begin her transformation. 'he used a wide
ace bandage to flatten her bust. 'he then attired herself in a tu$edo complete with a red
bow tie and cummerbund. A rolled up pair of socks supplied her with bulges in .ust the
right places. 'he styled her long hair into a ponytail! a style that you might see on any
young man. 'he topped off the illusion with a very convincing mustache which she
attached with a touch of spirit gum.
*e set our camera up on a tripod and took a number of shots. 'he glanced at the mantle
clock and said, "*e+ve got to get going;"
'he sprayed a little perfume on me. A dab on my neck! a touch behind my knee and a
spri9t in my artificial cleavage. 'he handed me a wrap and led me toward the car. 'he
took a couple of 6uick steps and reached for the car door. 'he opened the car door and
motioned me in. " 1our chariot awaits my lady." )he voice that came from my wife+s
mouth took my breath away. It was very convincing. Mustering up my best feminine
voice I replied. "(entlemen are so rare these days. )hank you." On the way to the party
my wife didn+t let up. 'he was being a perfect gentleman! e$cept for when she put her
hand on my knee and caressed my thigh. I .ust sat back and en.oyed it. I couldn+t believe
how we were both getting into our parts.
*e got to the party and milled around for a while. )here were hundreds of people
dressed in the traditional ways. rankenstein! &ampires! witches and alike filled the
room. *e were the hit of the party. )here where other couples who were dressed as each
other! but most of the guys looked like over made8up drag 6ueens. Most of the women
looked like women in men+s clothes. *e won the best couple costume contest. @ust before
midnight I saw one of my co8workers named @anice. 'he works as an graphic artist at the
firm. 'he was dressed as a very se$y witch. I had never really notice how beautiful she
was. 'he thought that our costumes were great and asked how we came up with the idea.
'haron recounted the events that led to her idea. @anice admired our rings and my wife
told her about what happened earlier that day. @anice said, "Maybe a little help is
needed." @anice waved her hands over us and recited some gibberish. *e braced
ourselves for the shock as we moved the figures closer. )his time when they touched I
felt a rush of se$ual pleasure.
"(uys ... (uys give me a break! 1ou+re in public" 'he pulled us apart interrupting our
build up. I was left feeling as if someone had doused me with a bucket of cold water. My
eyes met my wife+s and it was easy to see that she had e$perienced the same feelings.
*e rushed home and almost wrecked a couple of times. *ithout undressing we .umped
on the bed. Laying on the bed! we mated the rings once more. )he warm feeling began to
rush through my body. I had never felt the intensity of feelings as I felt at that moment. It
started at the very tips of my toes and worked its way to the top of my head. )he feeling
then seemed to concentrate in my groin. I knew I was about to lose it and I opened my
eyes to see my wife writhing and moaning with pleasure! connected to me only by the
figures on the rings. *e e$ploded at the same moment *e ga9ed into each others eyes
and said, "I love 1ou" My world went black as I fell into a deep sleep.
My wife and I were awakened by the warmth of the afternoon sun through the window.
*e looked at each other! still clad in our costumes! and as if we were one said, "*O*;"
*e began to get ready for what was left of the day. *ith a feeling of regret I suggested
that we get out of our costumes. I tried to remove my ring and it wouldn+t budge. "*hat
is going on here3 )his thing is stuck;" My wife tried to remove hers! but it was invisibly
locked into place. I glanced at the ring. )he figure had lost some of its detail. "I must
have whacked something pretty hard last night. My ring will never be the same." My wife
looked at her ring and a shocked look came over her face. "Look at this;" 'he directed the
ring in my direction and her figure had lost most of its detail too. )he rest of the day was
spent thinking about our adventure. Monday *e awoke to the alarm at A5"# am and
began our morning rituals.
I looked at my face. *iped my hand over my cheek and decided that a shave wasn+t
needed. I looked at my brow line and decided that it was really very attractive! opening
my eyes. *e both dressed and headed off to work. About two in the afternoon @anice
stepped into my office. ")here+s some guy on line three and he says he+s your wife". I
thought for a second and responded, "My wife really got into her part the other night! I
guess she still wants to play. )hanks." I picked up the phone and before I could open my
mouth a voice cut in. "Honey! something strange is going on. I+m heading home." I asked
if she was O.<. "1es and =o; ?lease meet me at the house. I+m leaving now. Love you." I
asked @anice if she could cover my phone! grabbed my coat and left the office. *hen I
got home I found that all the curtains were drawn and the house was dark e$cept for a
single light in the living room. I could barely make out the figure sitting on the living
room couch. )he silhouette broke the silence. "?lease don+t turn on the lights. @ust come
here and sit down."
"*hat+s the matter3"
"I+m not really sure! but I want you to look at me very closely." 'he reached around and
turned the light up to illuminate her face. "0o you notice anything different3" I scanned
her face. "0arling! you look a little tired but..." My comments were stifled as she pointed
to her chin. )here were a handful of thick black hairs emerging from it. ")hese weren+t
here yesterday." I blurted out. "Maybe it+s a hormone thing. I+m sure ... " Once again she
cut me short by directing my attention to her hair line. 'he raked her fingers through her
hair. 'he held her hand in my ga9e. ")his started about noon and hasn+t stopped since."
)ears welled up in her eyes. "I+m losing my hair;" 'he then broke down and collapsed in
my arms. 'he moved her hand to my face and brushed my cheek. 'tartled she sat up and
stared directly at me. "0id you .ust shave3" I looked at her and responded. "=o! when I
woke up this morning I didn+t need to" "1ou mean that you haven+t shaved since
yesterday morning3" I thought about it for a moment, " 1eah that+s right. I shaved
yesterday. *hat are you getting at3" 'he grabbed my hand, "I+m not sure yet. -ome
upstairs." 'he nearly yanked me off the couch and pulled me into the bathroom. 'he
turned on every light in the room and began to study me carefully. ")ake your clothes
off." "*hat3" "@ust take off your clothes" I began to comply and she began to strip too.
'he was standing there in her bra and panties when I noticed something. Her breasts
which normally spilled out of her bras were not even close to filling it.
*e e$amined each other and made mental notes of any changes that we found. =ot only
was my wife sprouting hair on her chin! but I was shocked to find that her chest was
covered with very short budding hair. "It+s these damn rings; )heir going to kill us if we
don+t get them off." )he ne$t hour was spent trying every lubricant in the house trying to
remove the rings. =othing loosened their grip. I ran to the basement and got some metal
snips. "It+s a shame that we have to destroy them" *ith that I tried to cut the ring off my
finger. I had seen these snips go through si$teenth inch steel! but they couldn+t even dent
the ring. My wife ran to the bedroom. "Maybe there+s something in the bo$" 'he dug to
the bottom of the .ewel bo$ and found a false bottom. 'he ran across the room and
grabbed a nail file. 'he began to pry at the divider until it finally gave way. *hat was
revealed was a small envelope. 'he opened it and pulled out a small piece of paper.
*ritten on it were the following words5
"/eware the 7ings of -hange. )hey were crafted by a cult of witches whose goal was to
dominate the world by seeking revenge upon man. Once placed upon the fingers of the
pair! the only way to remove it is upon the death of either party by which time the
changes will be 6uite permanent." /e warned and be careful. -hristine 7othberg
?.'. I know this curse to be real. I was born -hristopher *hitman 7othberg in the year
BC#B. In my twenty first year I met a beautiful woman by the name of %li9ibeth Moray. I
was da99led by her beauty and the power she radiated. 'he was an ardent member of the
woman+s suffrage movement. 'he seduced me and she got pregnant shortly there after. I
did what I thought to be the right thing to do and we got married on All Hallows %ve!
BCDD. :pon my proposal of marriage she presented me with the rings saying that they
were family anti6ues and that she would like to use them as our wedding set. I accepted
her offer because I had not a dime to my name. *e married at a .ustice of the peace with
no family present. *ithin a few weeks things had begun to change. )hinking that I was
dying! she told me of the rings! their powers and her plans. %li9ibeth made it clear that
her plan was to become a man in this world controlled by men. At first I laughed off the
idea thinking it 6uit preposterous. 'oon I could no longer ignore the changes. My body
and soon my mind ceased to re.ect the whole idea. )he man that had been disappeared
and in time I resigned myself to my situation heart! body and soul. =ot only had I lost any
sign of maleness! but I was now the pregnant wife of a driven man. 'he changed our
names to *illiam and -hristine 7othberg and we move to %vanstown in @anuary of BCD".
I gave birth to a daughter on @une B2! BCD". *illiam gave her up for adoption without a
thought! saying that she would be better off with a family who would love her. =o one in
%vanstown knew anything about our past lives and when asked about my previous
pregnant state! we said that our child died at birth. *ithoutany distractions *illiam soon
took control of the town. Occasionally I would bring up our past! but *illiam would
silence me with a swift strike of his closed fist. I probably deserved what I got! but the
memories of a few tear filled nights still remain to this day. *ithin a few short years
*illiam had turned our nothing into a small fortune. *e never had any more children
even though *illiam+s se$ually appetite was insatiable. I suspect that there were other
women in *illiam+s life! but he did take good care of me. )he one time that I hinted
about the sub.ect! he beat me so badly that I was unable to leave the house for a month. I
know he loved me as I loved him. I miss him to this day. In BCA4! *illiam died of cancer
and I was left very alone. In BCE# I began to search for the daughter I gave birth to forty8
five years before. *ith the help of a private detective! I found out that she was right here
in %vanstown. I have never approached her! but I know she is happy and healthy. 'he is
married and has a beautiful daughter. I have watched in silence as my grand8daughter has
grown from a girl in pigtails to a beautiful young woman. I have set8up a trust fund for
her which will be revealed to her five years after my death. I know I should have
destroyed the rings! but they had become such a part of a very rich and fulfilling life that
I couldn+t say good8bye."
Our mouths were agape as the words on the page ended. *e sat in silence as the story
rattled around in our heads. *e hardly spoke for the ne$t few days. *e both noticed the
changes! but refused to accept them. *e continue to go to work! partly to keep our minds
busy. 'haron was having a very hard time styling her hair to conceal her hair loss. My
nipples were so sensitive that my shirt rubbing them would drive me wild. *e both were
receiving comments at work concerning our health. In fact! as the days went on the
changes began to accelerate to a point where it was hard to hide them.
/y the following Monday there was no way either of us could continue to show up at
work. My chest had swelled and my outward appearance was that of a developing
teenage girl. My wife was not as lucky. Her hairline was receding rapidly and her
muscles were becoming very defined. *e both called our .obs and said that we needed
time off for a family emergency. If what was happening to us did not constitute and
emergency we couldn+t figure out what would.
or the ne$t week we didn+t even leave the house. *hat we observed in each other was
not totally une$pected. %ach morning we e$amined each other and noted the changes.
)he last remnants of my wife+s breasts disappeared on )hursday while the loss of my
testicles didn+t happen until 'aturday morning. Her features continued to harden while
mine softened. Her body hair was rapidly taking over the skin I once found smooth! and
her beautiful long hair was still falling out in clumps! leaving a motley collection of long
strands. My body shape was e$hibiting curves that a young model would be proud of.
=either of us was correct. I still maintained a smaller yet still functional penis and my
wife+s genitals had remained relatively unchanged. )he figures on the rings were
redefining themselves too. )he figure of the man on mine was being replaced by that of
the womanish boy. In a vein attempt we .oined the rings once more. %lectricity filled our
bodies and we ga9ed at each other as more changes took place instantly. My scalp tingled
as I felt my hair lengthen until it brushed my shoulders and back. My wife+s body hair
sprung from her pores to almost an inch in length on her chest! face and legs. )he sounds
of bone crunching and stretching skin filled our ears! but we couldn+t brake the rings lock
on each other. )here was no pain as our bodies reshape themselves. My penis seemed to
be withdrawn into my body as my wife+s clitoris stretched and e$tended. After what
seemed like an hour the rings released and we .ust stood there in shock. My wife was
every bit male. I could tell by the look on her face that what she saw in me was .ust as
shocking. *e collapsed in each other+s arms and I began to sob. *e sat naked on the
bedroom floor for hours before my wife broke the silence. "0arling! I love you very
much. *e have to figure out how to handle this." *e talked for the ne$t two days
formulating our plans. It was obvious that there was no way that we could turn back! so
we decided to make the best of the situation. *e decided that we had to move.
%vanstown was .ust too small to e$pect that we could fit in. *e emptied all our bank
accounts! sold the few stocks which we owned and found that we had gained a fortune of
FDE!GAE.GA. Hardly enough to live out the rest of our lives! but more than enough to start
over someplace new. *e no longer had any clothes which fit properly! so we dressed in
some work8out suits. I gave 'haron a trim so her hair was not so ugly. I showed her how
to trim and shave her beard. 'he! in turn! styled my hair and applied .ust enough make8up
to get me by. *e looked at each other! satisfied with our looks! took a deep breath and
opened the front door. *e left the house and headed toward the mall. *e each bought a
few new outfits. 'he was fitted for a suit while I was trying on dresses! skirts and blouses.
I was now a si9e EH4 with a figure that I had previously only dreamt of "Having". I have
to admit that I found the lingerie department rather e$citing! but I limited myself to a few
bras! panties! slips! garters and hose. )hen we went to "-lip I -url" and had our hair cut
and styled. I visited the make8up counter at 7ichardsons and was soon being pampered
with a whole line of cosmetics that were specific to my color. Lipsticks! sweet smelling
powders! rainbows of color! eye liners! blush! mascara! and endless array of products
made .ust for me. I never reali9ed how e$pensive it was for a woman to look "natural"
and "fresh". *e walked through the mall looking at the shoe stores. I was ama9ed at the
variety of styles and colors available to me. I must have tried on a hundred pair before I
settled on three pairs of heels! a pair of flats and a pair of sneakers. I really wanted this
pair of spiky five inch pumps! but I figured I better stay sensible for now. *e spent
almost three thousand dollars that day! but we both now had wardrobes to get us started
anew. *e put the house on the market that afternoon and called a moving company. *e
typed letters to our employers and indicated that due to important family matters we must
tenure our positions. *ith our old lives closed out! we left %vanstown. )ears filled my
eyes as I watched our old lives slip into the distance. *e moved to a suburb of Atlanta
and changed our identities. I chose the name Leslie while 'haron picked 'am. *e went
through the Atlanta white pages and selected a last name! which I must omit for obvious
reasons. I was ama9ed at the ease in which we obtained all the official yet necessary
documents. *e formulated a story that all our possessions and documents had been lost
in a fire and everybody was very helpful. *e found .obs 6uickly and began to rebuild our
lives. My wife! e$cuse me! H:'/A=0 soon moved up the corporate ladder and I soon
was able to 6uit my .ob and pursue my art! which has become 6uite lucrative. As with
-hristine 7othberg! I found that 'am+s se$ual drive was incredibly high. After we got
settled and began to e$plore our new bodies we made love every available moment. *e
were once again happy not only with each other! but with ourselves and with our lives.
)oday! during my annual! I found out that I am with child. I am e$cited and very scared. I
was told that I am almost two months along. I can+t feel the baby yet! but I know it will be
beautiful. I am not showing yet so when 'am arrives home from work I will break the
news and greet him at the door dressed in his favorite outfit! a black corselet! hose and
heels. I love the way my breasts peek out of the top of the cups and so does 'am. *ish
me luck.
