Caitlyn Jenner Costume Sparks Outrage Online

Caitlyn Jenner Costume Sparks Outrage Online

It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marketing at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

The retailer offers several celebrity costumes including Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, KISS band members and Marilyn Monroe.

Despite the company's stated intentions, transgender activists are lashing out.
 
"Do not turn Cailtyn (sic) Jenner into a costume. Your profit will only lead to greater transphobia and marginalization of an already at-risk community," wrote Addison Vincent, the creator of a Change.org petition asking Spirit Halloween to discontinue sales of the costume.


Another signer wrote, "I'm signing because this costume mocks the validity of a transgender's identity, implying a man wearing a dress is the same as a person dressing to their comfort and identity."

Other retailers, including WholesaleCostumes.com and AnytimeCostumes.com, also carry the Caitlyn costume; they did not return calls for comment.
Jenner's representatives did not immediately return request for comment.

Is Caitlyn Jenner back in the dating game?

Is Caitlyn Jenner back in the dating game?

The "I Am Cait" star, 65, has reportedly moved on from ex-wife Kris Jenner, whom she divorced last year, and found a new lady love in her life.

Jenner was recently spotted out on several dates with Candis Cayne, 44, in New York over the past few days, a new report by Star Magazine claimed (via Hollywood Life).

Jenner has reportedly "opened up her heart" to Cayne, an actress and entertainer who performs at several gay nightclubs in New York City.

The rumored new couple were first seen getting cozy at the Dream Downtown Hotel's PH-D rooftop, where Cayne reportedly touched Jenner's shoulder "nonstop."

“Caitlyn and Candis had amazing chemistry,” a source told the publication of the pair (via Hollywood Life).

The insider went on to say that Cayne might just be the perfect partner for Jenner, especially since she has experienced the same "struggles and confusion" as the former "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star.

“After her monumental life change, Caitlyn’s ready to open up her heart again and really, how could you ask for a more perfect fit as a romantic partner than Candis? She’s been basically through the same struggles and confusion, so she’d be the perfect person for Caitlyn to lean on as she continues her journey of transition," the source continued, referring to the fact that Cayne is also transgender.

 "Candis is smart, funny, talented and drop-dead sexy. I wouldn’t blame Caitlyn one bit if she fell for her."

Their dates didn't stop there, however, as Jenner and her new lady love were spotted having a romantic candlelight dinner the next day. They also went shopping and stopped by the spa for some R&R together.

“I’m not surprised at all that she would jump at the chance for them to spend some quality time together. And I’m sure Candis feels the same way about Caitlyn," Star Magazine's source also said.

“The bottom line is that Caitlyn is finally getting her life in order exactly as she wants it …. I believe Caitlyn’s ready for that again — and Candis is a special woman," the source added.
