Halloween has sadly evolved from a simple holiday where kids dress up and go door-to-door trick-or-treating to a holiday where girls try to out-slut each other at whatever dignified evening festivities they choose to partake in.
A thong is not a costume. If all your supposedly creative mind can muster up is wearing your underwear as an outfit, I have severe concerns about your safety and condition by the end of the night.
A classic line from a classic American movie: “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it,”- “Mean Girls.”
I’ve had the misfortune of seeing girls at parties wearing a plastic bra, a sheer cover up and glitter make-up, and I feel as though I’ve been transported to a pornographic version of “Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century.” It is not a pretty sight.
It’s sad to see that young girls are following this trend of bearing it all on a night clearly meant to be fun and basically funny.
When did Halloween get so sexualized?
Honestly, it’s ridiculous how inappropriate adult Halloween costumes have gotten nowadays.
We go from a cute baby angel to an angel who wears nothing but fishnets and wings. Sure, sport the fallen angel look. We are allowed to be bad at times. Just don’t fall all the way down into the gutter.
Every thing from a witch costume right down to a “Bollywood Ho” has been sexualized to accentuate and expose most of a woman’s figure.
Let your costume be a reflection of your imagination and attitude. The lingerie can sit this one out.
Mix it up! Be Bubblegum Princess from the show “Adventure Time” or maybe Mitt Romney’s binder of women, or even Democratic Party Big Bird.
Go outrageous with costumes by picking or putting together something original, funny and creative.
Awkward is the new cute. So rock those awkward, weird quirky costumes. You can still dress trashy under the costume if you’d like. At least people who don’t want to be subjected to it would be spored.
October is the beginning of beanie days, sweater weather and cuddle season. The last thing I would think of is wearing just a bra and panties in this 65-degree weather.
In case you catch the flu sporting your lingerie costume, De Anza Health Services is providing free flu shots.

Ladies, let the cute guy checking you out from the other corner of the room see how cool, unique and hilarious your outfit is. You’ll have a chance of at least attracting a guy with a sense of humor.
Believe in the subtleness of the term “peek-a-boo.”
Chances of you getting drunk are pretty high, so just enjoy the night without having to worry about some creepy guy or girl following you all night long.
You really don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb or even worse, have a disastrous wardrobe malfunction.
Boys seem to still keep in the spirit of celebrating Halloween without letting their junk hang out, why can’t the girls follow suit?
Keep it classy yet sassy, not trashy ladies. Don’t trick yourself into getting a treat you might regret.
