Although trick-or-treat night is a time to protect your pet from strangers and stressful situations, you and your dog can still enjoy Halloween.

If your dog is sociable and likes kids, gets along well with other dogs, and is comfortable wearing a costume, then check out local pet parades and costume contests. Such events are part of many Oktoberfests, Pumpkin Festivals, and special community activities sponsored by pet-related retail establishments.

With Halloween just around the corner, are you stressing out about what to wear? The options out there are limitless, from funny to sexy to downright spooky.

To give you some ideas, we recently took over The American Backstage Company located in Alexandria, VA. American Backstage Company is 6,500 square feet of costumes and theatrical items, with separate areas for make-up, dance, books, shoes, magic supplies and more. Opening its new location in April 2013, the store still boasts the same quality, tradition and service, with an even bigger selection of costumes.

The post Are you ready for Halloween? first appeared on Lesbian.com.

From the moment you arrive at Louis Armstrong International Airport, the authentic spirit of New Orleans grabs you like a six-foot-four drag queen and never lets you go until, indelibly imprinted with glitter (and a hangover), you leave for home, feeling more like yourself than you have in a while. Here, in The City That Care Forgot, or NOLA, as it is referred to by locals, you can really be yourself, which may even be someone else, because for Halloween and Mardi Gras no amount of gay guising is too much. This town doesn’t bat a false eyelash at anything, which makes it the perfect place for a dyke to explore her inner decadence.

What to do

Art is the lifeblood of this city, devoted as it is to self-expression. The lesbian-owned Angela King Gallery at 241 Royal Street is worth a visit to take in some quality contemporary art and to support the gallery owner, a lesbian-art lover and California transplant, and the community of art-lovers she fosters. For some local color, Dr. Bob’s Folk Art Complex offers up mixed-media pieces (many a work is bedecked in beer caps straight off the local brews) priced from as little as $35. But NOLA is now on the map as a major U.S. arts destinations thanks to the superb collections at the Ogden Museum, which presents the most comprehensive assemblage of Southern art in the world, and the Contemporary Arts Center, which fearlessly hangs emerging and experimental pieces that would be right at home in New York City. The healing arts are flourishing here, post-Katrina, especially at the New Orleans Healing Center, a holistic and sustainable center with programs promoting physical, nutritional, emotional, environmental, and spiritual well-being. And lovers of the musical arts can bask in the sounds of every genre as national superstars sit down with the local talent at the Voodoo Music Experience, which is held every year around Halloween, come hell or high water.

1. Little Dutch Boy and the Dike
Pam RomanoThis Halloween idea won my friend Pam and her friend Sara first prize at the Halloween party they attended. The costume itself will take some work. Pam made her dike out of cardboard, but you can experiment with different materials, like styrofoam or paper mache.

Halloween is nearly upon us, and you know what that means: ’tis the season to overindulge in horror games. While this year’s crop may not be the best (Resident Evil 6 released earlier in the month to rather lackluster reviews), don’t let that stop you from busting out the classics.
