Halloween

Every year, the fun is getting sucked out of Halloween for me. It is already difficult for me to find a costume that I can buy off the rack. I am usually relegated to being a flapper (done that), a clown (when I was a kid), an angel (haven’t succumbed yet), a greek toga/goddess, or some other mumuish get up.

It’s boring and it sucks.

Now, I’m not the only one having to deal with it because it seems that even normal girls are having a hard time finding a decent costume since all of them have somehow turned slutty. They can’t find nice character costumes anymore because the slutty versions have won. It isn’t only a sexy nurse, french maid, or devil nowadays. Snow White, Tinkerbell (not a stretch, I know), eskimos!, inmates, etc all are now super short, extra tight, and make your boobs pop out (if you have them, of course). The straw that broke the camel’s back is the invite that a good friend of mine sent out for a Halloween party. Four brothers are throwing a party and across the top, in the biggest letters possible are the words “Sexy Halloween Costume Party”. This flyer is covered in sexy girls in costumes, and down the center we have three men: Charles Bronson, Al Bundy (wearing a no ma’am shirt), and Don Francisco (from Sabado Gigante) [and as

reminded me, Flava Flave!]. Oh yeah, so sexy. *rolls eyes*

It makes me really mad. It has been brewing for a while because I have had this conversation with many people over the past few weeks. A coworker can’t find a costume she likes that she can wear to work because they all have been sexy-fied.

and I couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw the Anna Rexia costume selling in online shops.

I didn’t want to recycle my Ravenclaw robes of last year, but in protest, I just might wear them again this year, even if it is a boring cop-out.
