I have been reborn and I am now a strong warrior woman. These are my stories.

Okay, I am all for wearing a sexy little Halloween costume if you have the figure and the chutzpah to wear it.  You go girls with your thigh highs, bare bellies, stripper shoes and stamp sized skirts.  My question is what are the rest of us supposed to wear?  I mean really I didn't see any costumes that weren't over revealing for a woman who is over a size six.  I am not huge but I am not going to wear short skirt or have my stomache peeking out.  Exactly when did the idea come about that every female costume should be pornified?  

I am debating on forming a new costume store called - costumes for real women.    I'm thinking Ugly Betty is doable.  Okay that didn't come out right but you get what I mean.  She definately has a look that can be mimiced without showing too much skin.  Of course, their is the fat woman's favorite Mimi from the Drew Carrey show.  A little dated now but all of the chunky ladies did the happy dance when they could dress up as Mimi.  Remember when you could just smear some cold cream on your face, wear a robe, put curlers in your hair and be a "housewife".  Don't forget the fuzzy slippers.  Of course, we've come a long way baby and everyone now knows what a horrible sterotype that was and that housewives do get dressed and work hard.  I don't know one who hangs out in a robe.  Of course, the curlers went out with the invention of the curling iron and perm.  I wonder how they would sex that up now. 

Okay I am tired and this getting to be a little too rambling.  I went to a Halloween party on Saturday.  I just wore my regular jeans and a shirt but painted my face and wore some hair falls.  I don't know what you would call it but it seemed to work.  It's better than not dressing up at all.  Oh and just a tip for you PYT's out there.  Don't bend over wearing those costumes.  A sexy little nurse did that at the party and I saw her kidneys.  Yikes!  Please at least put on some granny panties if you wear these costumes.  Pretend you're a cheerleader and wear some shorts underneath.  Yeah guys, I hear you groaning but someone needs to counsel these girls on how to stay classy.

I remember the housewife costume. I think everyone I knew growing up dressed up like that at least once, including the guys. haha..

Unless you make the costume there isn't a whole lot of choices out there. You should put that on your to-do lists of business you would totally excel in. I know it.

Maybe the only non-skanky ones are for guys.  

You probably can make any costume better than one you can buy.

Boudica, I thought your pic of your Halloween costume was really sexy!! And not in a showing-tons of skin kinda way.  Just beautiful. 

I agree, though, that all the costumes have been pornified.  What's really disturbing is how young the age starts for that...you would be hard-pressed to find a girl tween costume that isn't at least somewhat sexually suggestive.

Funny you should write this now.  The local talk radio morning program (www.wrva.com/pages/jimmysnewpage.html) just said the same thing!

At least us Guys are supposed to be ugly, so our costumes are easy enough.  But you ladies - not everyone is 19 and Paris Hilton (not that she needs a costume anyway).

OMG did you laugh or were you too shock to laugh?  LOL! what, I woulda laughed, then go up to her and remind her she was going rambo...or is that term for the guys?!hahaha

I hear ya about those costunes though, even for the kids, they get skimpier and weirder every year.  Go ahead, develop a costume company, I would buy from ya!

Who cares?

  I just gave my friend the OMG did you just see that? look.

  Exactly.  The guys at the party were ghostbusters, a doctor (actually a gynecologist - of course).  Honestly now that I think about it not very many of the guys dressed up.

I'll have to listen when I have more time.

  It really would bother me if I had a little girl.  It seems like they want to make their normal clothes more sexy.  They just kick it up about ten notches at Halloween.

Thanks, you're sweet.  I just wore jeans and a shirt but did my face and hair falls.  For the party I went with a spider web design and what admittedly came out as tranny hooker lips.  Still I had a few fans of my look - lol.  I'm having computer issues but I'll be posting those photos later.

  I guess there isn't a problem with it if you want to put yourself on display sexually but not everyone does. 

Maybe the only non-skanky ones are for guys.
  I wish I could think of a way to put a man's bits and pieces on display so they could feel the pressure too - lol.

  Thanks Kelley.  Even the "scary" costumes are now sluttified.  They should just call them what they are slutty witch and skank whore vampiress - lol.

My best bet for dressing up as anything non-revealing is either going as myself, or going as a giant tit...
