Halloween = HO-lloween
Thursday, November 1st, 2007Yesterday was Halloween and it only reminded me of one of my biggest pet peeves…the Sexy “FILL IN THE BLANK” costume. I get it. Women like to show off their bodies and it’s now become that Halloween is the one day where they have the excuse to “slutify” themselves.
My coworker recently sent me post that had a pie chart of the best-selling costumes this year. At first, I thought it was a joke when Sexy Pirate came out as the biggest slice of the graph. Unfortunately it was the reality and I became increasingly saddened when I saw that millions of dollars were being spent on the Sexy “FILL IN THE BLANK” after the Sexy “FILL IN THE BLANK” by the women of America. Sure the straight men of the world must love the fact this has become the norm, but honestly does a sexy Osama Bin Laden or a 10-year-old girl dressed up like a french maid really float your boat?
Personally, I enjoy showing off my creativity instead of my cleavage on All Hallows Eve. While this year my Amy Winehouse get-up showed a little cleavage it was by no means sexy. You can ask ben that the ridiculous beehive and bloodied up face was far from how the girl he fell for looks. I love costumes that are timely and that people can automatically relate to the familiarity of it. It’s a bonus when the costume also happens to be funny. That’s why I think my Ugly Betty last year and Google Chinese Kids singing Backstreet Boys the year before were such a hit. And don’t get me wrong, if the woman who finds the cure for cancer happens to be a sexy scantily clad vixen, I’ll be first in line to purchase that costume for next Halloween.
