Sexy whatever
Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 06:59AM Halloween: a time for girls to dress up as sexy versions of any and all things. We all know that Halloween, for many girls, is just an excuse to wear very little clothing and call it a sexy kitten or a sexy zoo keeper or a sexy proctologist. Naturally I hate this trend and can't understand when Halloween became an excuse to wear less.
Anyway, this isn't a rant (though dangerously verging on one), but rather a way to point you here. It's the Sexist's Top 10 Worst Sexy Halloween Costumes. Some are pathetic, some are obnoxious, some are just plain ridiculous. Check it out, but first, here's a little taste:
It's the Sexy... America, Or Something Costume. It doesn't really matter what she's trying to be (in this case, nothing at all apparently) as long as it's sexy!

I feel like Halloween is viewed as the opportunity to embrace your inner whore.
Since when did a bumblebee, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz or Rainbrow Brite become sex kittens?
Don't you think there's something worse about men attaching blow up dolls to their johnsons? I can't believe you didn't say anything about that one.
I love Halloween! It's the one time of the year I can leave the house dressed as a sexy sanitation worker or whatever. I might rock last year's pirate costume again. I refuse to spend money this year, but I had hoped to be the sexy nurse.
Anna, you're right, it's absurd. But I didn't really consider that a "sexy" costume. Just gross. I could write a whole post on the wrongness therein.
I was totally ranting about this yesterday at work. My rant was more focused on the kids' costumes out there. Even 8-year-old girl costumes have some sort of sex appeal attached to them. GROSS!
Sexy Nemo? I don't even understand that one. Overly sexy Halloween costumes really bug me. To each her own, I guess, but there's no real alternative to "sexy" if you choose to buy a costume instead of make one. I agree with A - the worst are the midriff-baring costumes marketed toward 8-year-olds. Second worst are the costumes that just don't make sense, like "sexy clown" or "homeless hottie." I used to joke with Achilles that we should dress up as a farmer and his slutty cow, but after looking at that article, I don't even think it would be ironic.
This became very apparent to me last year on the cruise. Halloween on a cruise makes for a lot of drunk people with body parts hanging out that I really never wanted to see. Talk about leaving nothing to the imagination. I felt really out of place being fully clothed. And to think that I agonized over how I could fix my costume so that I didn't look like a complete slut.
Amazing how Halloween has turned into all things sex/y.
Totally agree. There was an article about this year, which I now cannot find, but it described this phenomenon. I guess women are aching for a chance to let out their inner slut ...
Halloween...the holiday when we can all be giant sluts and get away with it.
Ugh...I HATE this also! I went to the Halloween store the other day to get some ideas for my costume, and that was the only kind of costumes they had for women!
