Will you be going with slutty or skanky this year?

by Miss Britt on October 23, 2008

OK. I know. Halloween is about girls wearing slutty costumes. I get it.

But even I was surprised at the new depths the women’s costume selection has been dragged to this year.

Sexy Sponge Bob? Sponge Bob is a boy, first of all. A boy and a cartoon character. For children.

Although, tempting the ass tapping of childhood heroes is apparently all the rage this Halloween.

I’m sorry, but that doesn’t even look like a Care Bear! Am I the only person who remembers that Care Bears look like bears? Short, round, fuzzy little bears.

Then again, maybe I have been watching a different TV then the rest of the world…

…because I don’t seem to remember Wednesday Adams being a whore. In fact, I thought part of her shtick was that whole not maudlin or in any way slutty thing.

Of course, you could make a case that at least these costumes continue to pretend to be about dressing up as some sort of character. Someone is going through the motions of being a Naughty Nurse, or a Slutty Care Bear.

As opposed to…

…this girl. All pretense dropped here. She just walked into the costume shop and said “make me look slutty, I’ve got great tits.”

I can’t help but wonder, what do these women say when they show up at their annual Halloween Parties and they are faced with the inevitable Costume Question?

“What are you supposed to be?”

“Me? Oh, I’m just slutty.”

What are YOU going to be this year?

    Really? A cherry pie? Have these women no respect for themselves. Don’t they know they’ll have Warrant sung in their face all night if they wear that outfit?

    I’m kind of torn- I want to do something with my boyfriend but not be cheesy. I think we’re going to be Jim and Pam from the office.

    Okay, so I’m confused. Which of these is slutty, and which is skanky? Is there a difference, or is it a matter of degree?

    You’ve got to admit, she really does have ‘great tits’. :)

    I get to be a chauffer and a chaperone, but that’s not anything new, and I’m definitely not going to be dressing up.

    My 2 y/o is going to be a skunk, (lil stinker,) and my 9 y/o is dressing up as ‘Mystery Girl.’

    You have to admit though, the shoes that go along with those slutty outfits make me wish I had money to spend on shoes.

    I have not decided what to be but since I spend most of my non working hours in fishnets and booty shorts, maybe I should consider dressing as “demure”

    No costume for me this year. The next time I put on a costume I’m going to be a bag of jelly beans.

    Have seen some of the costumes they have for little girls? They are just as slutty. Sad.

    We always go for a horror theme. We wear the costumes in the streets and go trick or treating. It’s zombies this year. Historical figure zombies. However, we would gladly go as Stormtroopers or a group of Darth Vaders if we could get the outfits.

    Hah, I dressed up as Wednesday one year but she wasn’t slutty. My family’s last name is Adams so we did the whole family thing for a Halloween party my parents had, with them dressing up as Morticia and Gomez. Awww, yeah, isn’t that cute? I have to say though, that if I could pull of the slutty Wednesday outfit now I might do it.

    I did the Pink Lady thing from Grease one year.

    I think I’m just too conventional. I roll my eyes at the slutty nurses uniforms and such. Though I might consider a medieval slutty serving wench costume.

    No dressing up for me this year. :(

    SwanShadow: I think all of these are just slutty. The skanky ones are at Wal-Mart.

    drofen: my 3 yo is going as Sully – no clue on the 8 yo yet. Is that bad I have my costume befor he does?

    B.E. Earl: um. Yeah. Of course. Sure.

    Honeybell: I giggled out loud, right here in my kitchen at that.

    Amber: how RUDE of them!

    ginamonster: can I borrow your fishnets for my costume?

    Maria: I will cut a bitch before I put my daughter in something slutty. Seriously.

    I don’t know who is the bitch that I could reasonably blame and therefore cut. But someone.

    Selma: historical zombies, eh? You people go with the smart theme, I see.

    Blondefabulous: a few years ago I went to a costume shop – a real one for a community theater. Best. costumes. ever. And THEY are not slutty. I wish there was one around here.

    SciFi Dad: turn on Nickelodeon?

    Laura: I’m not conservative, I just.. I don’t know. Am weird I guess. I see the slutty nurse costumes and scream “they don’t even wear that! Do you know how impossible it would be for a nurse to get through an 8 hour shift in that?!?!?”

    I hate the whole skankfest that Halloween has become. I look at pictures from my sister on Facebook during Halloween and I’ve got no idea what she’s trying to be – last year she wore a black blazer over a pink bra and a pink mini skirt that said “guilty” on the ass.

    I’m going as Alice in Wonderland. I had a hell of a time finding an Alice costume that was both plus-sized and non-skanky. And didn’t make me look like I was wearing a blue satin tent.

    I run a costume sewing business and sell retail to supplement. I refuse to put those things on my site. Not only are they trashy, but they fit very few women and are made out of materials that last only a couple washings. They are cheap in more ways than one.

    If you want to look like a slut, let me sew you something slutty that lasts. You can be slutty for years. You can actually wash your slutty costume of all your slut induced soilage.

    Damn economy has my costume biz lagging, sigh.

    I’m in the midst of making my costume right now. And it involves giant boxes and lots of tinfoil and those weird air vent tube things that people who work with air vents use to move air, or something. So when I’m done, you don’t be able to tell if I’m a man or a woman because none of my female parts will be showing or even peeking. Because I’ll be wearing a giant box. And I’ll be a a robot. A robot from the Flight of the Conchords Robot Song, to be exact. Amazingly awesome? Affirmative.

    That last look? So obviously queen of the county fair.

    This post inspired me to write. I always thought of slutty as an everyday look. Well, until I decided that comfort was more important. And the fact that for the last seven years or so, slutty would be frowned upon at my place of work. As such, I save the slutty for non-work hours.

    Skanky is never cool. Unless you’re trying out for a reality show on VH1.

    But back to slutty. I have female relatives who sometimes question my skirt length. I have pretty good legs and so my answer to them is, “Because I can.”

    I’m very anti-Halloween, so I will be myself. Every year the Captain tries to offer me “great” costume suggestions. This usually causes me to bitch about how Halloween is Dress-Like-A-Whore Day. This year I told him, “Hey, why don’t I just buy a pair of white wings and put on those with my underwear and go as a Victoria’s Secret Angel?”

    Men think everything involving underwear is a good idea.
