Happy Whore-o-ween

Halloween is fast approaching, and as usual, I put off getting costumes for the girls until the last minute. This year Molly is going to be a ladybug and Bridget is going to be Athena. Bridget initially wanted to be a vampire but we couldn't find a vamp costume that didn't look like it came from the wardrobe closet of a porn flick. The Athena costume is terrific because Athena is one of her favorites characters in the Percy Jackson books. (She's read them so many times the covers have come off!)

Jerrod commented that neither girl has a scary costume. I don't know if it's like this in the rest of the country, but here Halloween is traditionally scarier costumes because Mardi Gras is supposed to be the "fun" costumes.

After costume shopping with Bridget last night, I've come to the decision that Halloween really is of the devil. Ya wanna drop a girl's self-esteem right into the toilet? Take her costume shopping.

A Ladybug and a Bee - sweet and wholesome, right? WRONG! When I think of a bee costume, I think of the Bee Girl in the Blind Melon video, not this:

I think I'm supposed to insert some "pistol/stamen" joke here...

I thought skeletons were supposed to be scary:


Look what they did to Hermoine!!! Such a sweet, bookish, buddy to Harry Potter. This is just wrong...

Believe it or not, this was but one example of Slutty Nun costume, there are several other slutty styles to choose from.


Okay, I'm just putting this next one up because it really creeps me out. The nun costume got me to thinking that there really is a slutty version of anything you can think of. I thought to myself, what is one costume I really wouldn't want to see a slutty version of - a clown:

Seriously, I may have nightmares.
