Halloween costumes gone too far
By Courtnie Martin, Sports Reporter
October 31 rolls around and all of a sudden sweet little Jane wants to run around looking like New Westminster’s do-I-really-want-my-parents-to-see-this-on-Facebook stripper. The reality of it is, hell no she doesn’t want her father to see daddy’s little angel dressed in white panties, boots, nipple covers, and a see-through lingerie one-piece with wings taped to her back—some angel, right?
So why do it? What are you lacking emotionally that brings out this disgustingly disrespectful annual alter ego? Or, is this who you are all the time, and you finally get a chance to express it without judgment because “it’s only a costume”?
I wonder if any of these women guilty of wearing provocative outfits consider those seeing them in such attire. It’s possible that random people at the party took pictures of them and posted the photos on Instagram and Facebook—you just never know. If you happen to be one of those few that don’t care, then shame on you.
There is nothing wrong with a little sex appeal in your costume. You want to dress like a nurse with a stethoscope and a decently short skirt, be my guest. But why does the skirt need to sit higher than your ass, and why does your top need to be so tight it can barely contain your breasts? You are leaving nothing to the imagination. I can imagine a Halloween party where every guy is hitting on poor Jane and wants to take her upstairs to see how much she paid attention in nursing school (wink wink).
Let me guess: all of a sudden you are perturbed that they are forcing themselves on you? If you are presenting the goods, then expect the men to explore the goods. Can you blame them? Remember, guys, this doesn’t mean Halloween is a free pass to grab any female who’s dressed like Hugh Hefner’s October calendar model. Still, remember, ladies, it’s to be expected.
Why would a guy work hard to get to know you as a person, your emotional needs, your likes and dislikes, and all the other sappy shit, if you skip the gate to your heart and open your legs instead? If you think such a costume doesn’t portray that point, then my suggestion is for you to evaluate your self-worth as a woman. Sure, men will keep you on their arm because you’re looking hot in your costume, but what they really want is someone they can take home to meet their parents. As long as you remember on November 1 that October is over, Halloween has passed, and he needs a “wifey”—not a nasty “one-nighty.”
