Burlap is sexy.

It's that time again

kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 28 October 2006 13:21 (seventeen years ago) link

here is an article about it.

I think there was one in the NYT this week as well (must be a slow week for them).

kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 28 October 2006 13:21 (seventeen years ago) link

"Tonia Farinha, director of marketing for Spirit Halloween stores, which has 434 stores across the country, says she has noticed the trend in the last few years but would rather say that women are wearing "feminine" costumes, not sexy ones."

Spirit Halloween stores have utterly ruined halloween, from what I can see. They're worse than the Gap as far as homogenizing culture goes.

kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 28 October 2006 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

that said, our baby is wearing a little bear outfit from the Gap for halloween. but costume options are limited for 4 month olds and he's only dressing up so we can pimp him out for candy that we are going to eat.

I'm going as the sexy Hamburglar this year!

I saw a lot less sexy costumes over the weekend so much as the "tinsel wig and normal clothing" costumes that Tracer Hand alluded two, those two years ago.

This thread makes me wish I'd dressed up this year.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 30 October 2006 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

people over 25 in costumes = generally not sexy

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 30 October 2006 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

esp. not when they have a vagina framing their face.

Girls who do the sexy halloween thing as an excuse to get their normally covered up tits out are lame. I have a friend who does this every year and it annoys the hell out of me. Maybe if she had better tits it wouldn't, I don't know. Anyway, my friends and I have this anti-sexy halloween costume thing. Last year we went to a party as the Golden Girls which isn't really sexy unless, you know, that's your thing. Or, of course, you're Blanche.

I dislike bought or rented costumes of any kind. Halloween costumes should be self-assembled, preferably using things a person would not usually consider clothing. I will accept wigs, just about, but not the tinsel kind.

Why do West Virginians think Halloween is sexy?

Because they get to pump kin!

kingkongvsgodzilla, Thursday, 11 October 2007 09:47 (sixteen years ago) link

hyuck...

"don't like that devil costume at all. Since when do devils wear bow-ties? And the shoes don't go with the tights."

His Dark Highness The Great Lord Satan probably has more important things to worry about than whether his sexy sidekicks have matching outfits.

getting tits out is a classic no matter what the situation

ENBB, we call those people "That Girl". They frequently wear cat-ear headbands as their whole costume, for some reason -- if you don't count the costume-quality fishnets/stockings/garters.

as my friend put it, "SHOULD TWEENS BE SEXUALIZED? WE SEXUALIZE SOME TWEENS TO FIND OUT"

akm, Saturday, 23 October 2010 16:01 (thirteen years ago) link

I feel sad walking through the costume aisles at Wal-Mart because every costume is just a sexy dress with a ballroom mask or the much loathed ear headbands.

My wife's sister's best friend used to go as a ketchup bottle every year. So we thought it was hilarious when the Onion published this classic:

Add spray-on tan and you're a spider.

A couple of days ago, another of the school bus drivers I work with started singing:

Too sexy for my bus, I'm
Too sexy for my bus...

Being an honorary octogenarian, I did not get the reference, but I appreciated the sentiment.

Aimless, Monday, 25 October 2010 02:36 (thirteen years ago) link

wish i had a camera moment:
walking by lingerie store Brooklyn Fox, seeing their sign for "Sexy Halloween Costumes."
i can't hate too much because halloween is a holiday where people should get drunk and have fun and get laid so, whatever, show off yer ass, i'm cool with that.
