All Hallow's Eve

So Halloween has passed us... And the whole 2 weeks leading up to Halloween I heard numerous people make references to this being the Holiday for Sluts.  One of my friends even posted a video talking about sending all the "Sluts" he knew greeting cards because this was their Holiday.  He called their costumes "Slut Suits." lol  Hell, I even made a comment about Halloween being the one time of year that girls can dress up as whores and get away with it.  It's even referenced in the movie Mean Girls and radio DJ's were even talking about it all week.  So I am dedicating this blog to exploring why and what makes girls want to dress in (for a lack of better words) "Slut Suits" for Halloween. 

Now before I start, let me point out that I don't care.  Dress however you like.  If you got it, flaunt it right?  But with that being said, where do we cross the line?  At what point?  No one cares or thinks that we are Sluts when we post pics of ourselves on Facebook in a bikini on vacation, do they?  No, they don't.  So why on Halloween?  Why has it gotten such a bad wrap?  My guess is that orginially these costumes were marketed for role playing purposes in the bedroom and somehow they spilled over into mainstream and made it to Halloween.  Because let's cut the crap and get real, Cinderella and Snow White were not portrayed in the Disney movies in costumes with their T and A hanging out.  Now Jessica Rabbit was and that's a hell of a costume.  But taking sweet lil lady bugs and bumble bees and innocent Disney characters and turning them into slutty costumes, I can see where guys would make fun of women on Halloween.  So instead of guys chatting you up for being creative and having a great costume, they're thinking wow her boobs look great in that, I used to have a crush on Cinderella, I just want to bend her over the bed. LOL       

So my next question is, why do we women do it?  Why do we try and pick the sluttiest costume to wear on Halloween instead of being creative and original?  We've already posted our bikini pics on Facebook for our friends to see, so they already know that we have rocking bods!  So what point do we have to prove on Halloween?  And I say "prove a point" because why else would we wear the "Slut Suits?"  This is where I need a lil help from readers.  I would like to gain some insight and other people's perspective/opinions on why they wear them.  My comment section is set up to post comments as annoymous, so feel free to comment away without saying who you are.  No reason is a bad reason.. maybe you're too busy to put a costume together or maybe you THINK you lack creativity so you just run to the store and buy whatever is on the shelf. 

One of Chris' bestfriends and his girlfriend dressed up as Tiger Woods and Elin for Halloween a year ago, I think.  It was right around the time Tiger got busted for sleeping around and Elin busted his car up with a golf club.  His friend Bruce painted his whole body black and his girlfriend Kim put on a blonde wig and carried a golf club.  Now if you think about it, at that time when Tiger got busted, that was funny!  So my point being, you don't have to dress slutty.  There are a ton of other options out there.  Think about it and see if you can put something together next year for Halloween. :-)  Here is a pic of Bruce and Kim.


Also here is a costume(s) I love from this Halloween.  Italo and Danielle as zombie Bride and Groom.  All handmade by Danielle.  No slut factor to it at all.  Be sure to leave a comment and thanks for reading!
