It's That Time of Year Again

Posted by Melissa McEwan at Wednesday, September 22, 2010
The time of year when women (and their dogs!) are expected to celebrate Halloween by dressing like the stripper version of any costume—You can't be a nurse; you've got to be a SEXY nurse! You can't be a witch; you've got to be a SEXY witch! You can't be a cat; you've got to be a SEX KITTEN! You can't be a schoolteacher; you've got to be a SEXY Catholic schoolgirl!

My friend Todd texted me this picture the other day:


Image Description: A sexy Big Bird costume. Todd told me he also saw a sexy Freddie Kreuger in the store, but he's decided to go as sexy Osama bin Laden this year. I told him I'm going to be sexy Saddam this year, with a sign on my tittays reading "Weapons of Mass Seduction." Because Halloween is now apparently about sexualizing the most inappropriate things of which one can conceive.

Like children's icons.

SEXY FUN!
