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!
That's awesome! Thank u so much for thinking of us! And I totally agree about costumes. There were a lot of good ones this year. I know it was a lot more fun playing up a role with the whole nine yards rather than just letting a skimpy costume speak for itself. I'm excited to see what is in store next year! And p.s I'm posting this as Anonymous bc I can't figure out the posting thing! <3 Danielle
ReplyDeleteChristine thanks for the shout-out on your first entry. Welcome to world of blogging. Hope its lasts 50 years! Good question about costumes ...
ReplyDeleteWell I, for one, will be honest and I love the creative costumes, I just am not creative. I would happily wear a non-slut costume. The one I had this year I didn't feel was super slutty, but again, I put about 20 minutes into it at the Halloween store. I hope next year I will have the time/energy to put into something more fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd to the main question...I think the answer is that we are sheep. We just do what everyone else is doing/what is expected of us. Let's respect ourselves and expect more.
See, Gretchen you THINK you are not creative but you are. This year the costumes weren't as bad as they have been before. Everyone I saw was pretty tasteful. I am just wondering why it's gotten so bad to the point national media points it out.
ReplyDeleteI think you hit on something there with guys making fun of girls on Halloween because they've turned an innocent thing into something skanktastic. Because, otherwise, the men are just being huge hypocrites since they have no problem hitting on slutty girls the rest of the year. I mean, you'll always have your non-slutty ladies being hit on and you'll always have your group of guys that makes fun of the women who dress like whores on the regular, but for the most part dudes don't have a problem with slutty women on any day OTHER than Halloween. So, this phenomenon started with women who were trying to get men's attention, and then one dude thought he was on some other level than these chicks and joked on them for being so desperate, and now everyone wants to sit at the cool kids' table.
ReplyDeleteYou should keep writting blogs babe.
