What could possibly be worse than this Halloween costume?

I have this meta idea for a Halloween costume: The Sexy Sexy. It's just a giant mass of dozens of boobs, held together by fishnet.

The fact that you wear it with "Women's Yellow Lace-Up Zipper Go Go Boots" really makes it that much better.

I flew through Baltimore this morning, and one of the restaurants was decorated in what I think was supposed to be a zombie theme? But they just had caution tape up everywhere that said "Infection Zone," which I think is actually not the best message for a restaurant in a big airport.

I was walking through the Osaka red light district the other day and on the costume aisle I found: a Catholic nun. Not even a sexy nun. Just a young woman in a habit reclining in what I can only assume was a vestal but approachably come hither posture.

posted by Flunkie at 8:58 PM on October 25, 2014


This year, I decided to make a jellyfish costume out of an umbrella, on the theory that it would be cheap and not a ton of work to put together. I spent quite a bit of time last week surfing the internet looking for visual ideas so I could sort out how I wanted to construct the costume.

I was more startled than I probably should have been to realize that yes, sexy jellyfish is a thing. I had not previously associated quivering globules of stinging mucus with hot chicks, but I suppose it takes all sorts...

The real worst part is that it costs $110 to dress as sexy ebola.

This horrifyingly expensive catalog called "Chasing Fireflies" appears at my house constantly in the months leading up to Halloween, from which you can purchase a variety of $100 children's Halloween costumes, including this one that was titled "Butterfly Princess" on the catalog's cover but is obviously the sort of princess who MAKES HER DRESS FROM THE DEAD AND DISMEMBERED BODIES OF HER SUBJECTS.

wormwood23: "Also, it seems like it would be more appropriate if it were "Drunken Noah" rather than "Drunken Moses"."

Holy Shit LOL...

So growing up in my fundie xian church - they had an "alternative" event for the church for halloween, and you could dress up as your favorite Bible Characters. Oh what fun! Most of them looked like the "Chic Sheik", really. Lots of ladies dressed up like what they think Ruth and Mary and, I dunno... So my first comment was going to be about the sheik and how that was sort of the common motif in general.

But now I think your comment would make the whole thing *really* awesome!

Or King David holding a box of Philistine Foreskins as Dowry. There's so many great offensive Bible things once could go as, but because they're all... you know... fuddy-duddy Christians. Yawwwwwwn.

symbioid: "There's so many great offensive Bible things once could go as"

Once I threw a wedding shower for a divinity student and all the guests were divinity students and I threw it as a lingerie shower with the theme of Biblical Whores. Everyone had to come as their favorite Biblical whore and we only ate food mentioned in the Bible, which in practice meant Fig Newtons and endless wine, and we played "identify the dirty Bible verse" and anyway everyone ended up too drunk to go home.

I've been trying to convince the missus that we just turn-off the house lights, hide in the bedroom and skip the trick-or-treating altogether this year. Over the past few years, the ratio of "now that was a great costume" to "another bunch of kids dressed as hobos" has dropped precipitously to where it's just no fun opening the door anymore.

If there is any chance that some ragamuffin might come dressed as the actual virus, I might relent and and hand-out goodies. But, damn if it isn't a long night to spend hoping that one great costume appears at my door. I'd probably give the kid half the bowl of candy if they did. The whole bowl if they're under 10 years old.

For a lot of people Halloween is one of the very rare occasions where they feel ok to dress transgressively sexual (along with Vegas, couples-only all-inclusive resorts, and bachelorette parties), so the theme of the costume is often just a pathway for the sexy. Sexy bee makes just as much sense as sexy anything, I guess.
