Whenever the House Boy is present during any Adult Costumed Event where nudity is permitted at home or away, the House Boy may be assigned to wear a costume that temporarily covers parts of his body, though the House Boy must always cooperate and comply with any request by others to visually examine the costume regardless of whether doing so will expose his genitals, buttocks or any other parts of his physical self.

The House Boy is required to remain naked while at the Master’s home and property but is permitted clothing or covering sufficient to comply with local laws and dress codes when traveling to public and private locations away from home. Since the House Boy’s ‘uniform’ is defined as his ‘contemporary uncovered epidermis’ (naked skin), any action which covers or conceals his visible nudity at home may be interpreted as a violation of protocol and cause for discipline. Appropriate footwear is usually optional. The House Boy may also be required to strip when traveling with the Master to any location where nudity is legal or traditional, like a clothing-optional beach or resort or the home of the Master’s more progressive friends who view nudity in a positive light.

When the House Boy is present during any Costumed Event at home or wherever nudity is permitted, he may be permitted or instructed to wear clothing or covering of the Master’s choosing to dovetail with the theme or spirit of the event. Since nudity is already allowed at these events — even if no one is actually naked or will be — any clothing or costume that is selected for the House Boy to wear can be as substantial or as skimpy and revealing as the Master desires, and can even be subject to changes in coverage or style at the Master’s discretion. The wearing of a costume does not exempt the House Boy from his obligation to comply with other rules and protocols, including physical inspections and obedience to commands. It is considered disrespectful for a costumed House Boy to resist or refuse visual examination of his clothing or costume, even when granting such a request would mean partial removal of the costume or would temporarily reveal a body part that is covered by the garment. Requests which require complete removal of the costume should be referred to the Master.

In the example photo, a House Boy has just been instructed to try on a yellow costume that the Master will have the House Boy wear to a New Year’s Eve Party in just a few hours. The House Boy looks at the Master incredulously and asks, “Is this all I get to wear?” The Master responds, “Of course not. You will be issued a pair of colorful underwear for the ride to the party”, but of course the underwear will be ceremoniously removed before the adult-themed event actually begins. The Master also plans to place the House Boy’s sticky name badge on the underside of the bottom pointy end of the costume (upside down), and place another sticky on the front side which reads, “Lift Here For Name”. If our Banana Boy is lucky, the underwear which was removed hours earlier won’t get misplaced before it is time to return home.

Annual rules changes take effect at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. House Boys are cautioned that what may be permitted before midnight in the way of behavior, clothing, or other protocols may be strictly against the rules and subject to discipline in the new calendar year.
