Halloween is the gay High Holy Day, and this year the calendar is stacked. Key Westโs Fantasy Fest runs October 16โ25, with the parade down Duval Street on Saturday, October 24 (this yearโs theme is โMusical Icons and Iconic Musicals,โ so start rehearsing). Then the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval takes over Santa Monica Boulevard on Saturday, October 31.
So here are 69 things weโd actually buy to get there looking unhinged in the best way: sexy costumes and role-play, decor for the apartment, gay Halloween tees, the leather-and-mesh building blocks, full-body characters, a few spicy reads for the night in, glitter that stays put, gear for flying with a costume, and the survival kit for the night itself (and the morning after).
๐ Pro tip: order this week. Costume shipping gets slower the closer we get to the 31st, and you do not want to be the angel whose wings arrive November 2.

๐ฅ Sexy Costumes & Role Play
Cops, doctors, inmates, drill sergeants and a whole lot of mesh: short on fabric, long on attitude, for the ones who treat Halloween as a dress code, not a suggestion. Most of these are cut like lingerie, so size chart first, decisions later.
2. BlueSpace Policeman Costume (Lingerie-Style)
Officer, you can frisk us. Still undefeated at every gay Halloween party. Itโs cut like lingerie rather than a real uniform, so check the size chart.

3. URVIP Doctor Uniform Costume (Lingerie-Style)
Tonightโs diagnosis: youโll need a second opinion. For the people who think scrubs are boring. It runs lingerie-style, so measure first.
