The Costumer's Manifesto is written by Tara Maginnis, and proudly hosted by William Baker.

THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Transgender, Kink, & Fetish Clothing and Body Modification Links

Please note: many of these sites contain images which are shocking to certain people. Others are quite tame if unusual. Please do not go on to these sites and then complain to me that you are offended by my offering these links. This is a interesting and important aspect of costume and society, which I should not ignore. If you don't like hearing about or looking at images of people in costumes that express their personal sexuality, don't look.
