Anna Stephenson stops by Today NOW! to show parents of girly sons costume tips to survive Halloween without accentuating their child's already obvious lady manners.

(just for fun, no offence meant)

Transcript

If you're the parent of an overly effeminate little boy, choosing the right Halloween costume is crucial for avoiding humiliation during your family's trick-or-treat outings. Luckily our next guest is here to help us tackle this difficult problem head on: Jim?

Thanks, Trace. This is Anna Stphenson, author of "Actually He's a Boy: A How-to Manual for Parenting an Effeminate Male Child". Good to see you this morning, Anna.
- Oh, thanks for having me, Tim.
- I'm actually very excited to talk to you today because when my nephew Dereck turned eight he started acting gaily all the time. My brother, beside himself, he's afraid to let him out of the house, let alone in a night when everybody's dressing up.
- Right. Well, a lot of parents feel that way, Tim.
- Yeah.
- But unless you lock him in the house you run the risk of the lady boy would sneak out on his own, dressed as a ballerina, and you'll find him peer waiting on somebody's front porch with the whole neighbourhood watching.
- Oh, the worst nightmare.
- But the good news is, with a little creativity, we can disguise your girly son as a normal kid.
- Well, show us how to do that, Anna.
- Come on out, Travis.
- Oh, looks like we have an old soldier man here.
- This is Travis.
- Say hello, Travis.
- Hello, Travis.
- Travis has a gun and a threatening knife there. But if you want your child to depict a male dominated profession, be very careful not to choose one that's been co-opted by the gay community, like a fireman, a copy cowboy...
- Good point!
- Otherwise we've just have them looking like a stripper.
- Right, exactly.
- Now let's say hello to Ben.
- Ben, come on out.
- The world of science-fiction is a great place to look for fiercesome violent characters.
- Right, right. So you're a scary robot, huh?
- I guess so...
- This is also a good costume for what I call a "prancer".
- A "prancer".
- A son who skips delicately instead of just walking. Ben, take a few steps.
- Well, look at that. Problem solved!
- I wanna be a pastry chef but she wouldn't let me...
- Oh, look at this feature!
- I am a robot, I am a robot...
- Oh now, that's a good option.
- Yeah, especially if you're losing control of the situation. Here we go. Next we have Lance.
- Oh, hey. How you doing there, big head?
- Lance has long lashes, and almost compulsive habit of twirling his curly blond hair round his finger.
- Oh. Well, not anymore with that head, right?
- I'm a big old bear.
- Yes, you are, aren't you?
- The big head also muffles his lips.
- Oh, maybe that's a costume for my nephew then.
- Oh, could be.
- That's a great idea.
- Now we have Christian.
- Blough!
- Now, is a vampire really the right choice here?
- Yes. Well, vampires are flashy dressers, but it's all on the service of seducing a woman.
- Ah, ok, right.
- They're birow and dangerous but here is what I wanna show you.
- Yeah.
- By using copious amounts of blood we have sissy-proofed this costume.
- Oh, now that's a very menacing looking costume, very masculine.
- It happens sometimes, sweet. Go ahead, ok.
- ...I hope parents at home who have faggy-acting little boys have been taking notes, cause we got a lot of good advice here.
Now we're gonna have back over to Tracy. She's gonna show us how effective trick-or-treating can feed your entire family for a week!
