This controversy is gaining in popularity each year… particularly with parents of daughters. Now, I will admit that some costumes sold in stores are one inch away from being “For the Bedroom Only”. However, these are adult costumes. These slutty duds are not made for children, so what’s the big fucking deal?!
If you see a costume in a shop that you feel is inappropriate, then don’t buy it! Problem solved.
If Little Sally is attempting to select the Lil’ Bo Peep-Show costume or the Lil’ Red Riding Ho ensemble, tell her “NO!” and move on. Problem solved.
If you absolutely can not find a suitable costume for Little Sally (which I doubt) you can always create a unique and age appropriate costume by combining costumes and/or using what you already have in the closet. Thrift stores are great places for gathering clothing to create a one of a kind costume. Really, how many Hannah Montanas do we really need running from house to house, gathering candy? With a little imagination, ingenuity, and creativity it’s super easy (and cheap) to make your own costume(s).
With other alternatives to “Look Like a Hooker” costumes, I don’t want to hear anymore bitching on this subject.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
