I saw this today on Entertainment.ie, great website FYI, even if you are not from Ireland, top notch hilarious insights on the celeb world and great music and film reviews (I cut my teeth submitting a few member reviews on it back in the day).
Anywho they posted this vid below and I just thought it was pretty spot on and had to share. It's nice that someone is speaking up for my favourite holiday. Girls honestly it has gotten out of hand.
Now I am not saying no to slutty, should the costume call for it then by all means but I agree with Emotistyle here and won't be endorsing unnecessary skankiness for the sake of Halloween.
Who thought that a sexy Nemo was a good idea? Childhood memories ruined |

Nah, it's fine. People call it "dressing slutty" but it's more of a celebration of sexuality. Just like a gay pride parade is a license to wear nothing but roller skates and a banana hammock. We as a people spend so much time being repressed and hiding our sexuality, that Halloween is an explosion of sexy. Have at it people. Go as inappropriate as necessary to satisfy the urges Puritanical expectations try to squash.
ReplyDeleteI'd would be the last person to advocate repressing anyones sexuality Pickleope, considering it is something I did to myself years ago. My point was against costumes that are sexed up unnecessarily, like slutty nuns or sexy Nemo here. Thanks as always tho for you 2 cents :-D
DeleteI completely agree. They are not being very good role models to impressionable little kids.

DeleteThis year, The Husband and I were going to go the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. When I put the costume on, the skirt only covered half of mein arse! Had to nix it. There is no way I was going to go as Little Red Riding Ho.
ReplyDeleteHaha would love to have seen it JB. No chance of a pic?
DeleteUm, no. It's not good for people to bleed from their eyes. LOL
DeleteI completely don't get it. Halloween should be fun and creative not slutty. I don't want my son to look at these girls that dress up like that.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm getting at, bring back the awesome creative costumes and if they are meant to be slutty then I approve. But no more slutty cats!
Deletei'm learning old, fat chicks like me can not pull of sexy not even cute but we can do funny and crabby well
ReplyDeleteI am sure you are more voluptuous than fat becca. I do love funny and crabby tho
DeleteI love Halloween because it gives me a reason to be sexy. OMIGOD I love that Nemo costume!
ReplyDeleteLol you are the market for this then HMB. Haha awesome
DeleteHalloween is not huge over here but seems to be a good excuse for teenagers to party. And when teenagers party, the slutty costumes come out.
ReplyDeleteSadly not many girls can really pull it off sucessfully.
I know I certainly wouldn't have even tried
Oh yes nothing worse than an attempt at slutty that fails but God loves a tryer
DeleteAs the mother of daughters I can tell you I would not like them going out dressed in slutty clothes........
