Tomorrow night is THE night. The night when you can go out in public strutting your fairy wings and no one will look at you through their Harry Potter glasses and think you're a nutcase (well, in most cases anyway). That's right...its Halloween! Its the night of costume contests, bobbing for apples, tricks and treats, and a whole lot of T and A.
Yes, I have a bone to pick with girls of my generation. When did Halloween party become synonymous with brothel? I thought Halloween was supposed to be about using your imagination, not leaving nothing to the imagination. Wearing a pair of green panties and a child size black vest with 5 inch black heels and thigh highs does not mean you are a leprechaun. Last time I checked Dorothy did not shake her cleavage and bare her technicolor ass while following the yellow brick road.
Over the weekend my sisters and I went to a bar. Obviously, we dressed up in our totally wonderful, completely awesome costumes as the Chipettes. Our asses were covered and do the Chipettes have cleavage? Absolutely not, so neither did we. While we were out though, we witnessed quite a few girls dressed as...well...we don't really know. Its possible the bags their costumes came in said "Slut" but that seems pretty doubtful because in their minds they would never degrade themselves in that manner. One chickie had on a pair of pleather boy-short underwear, a swiss/milk maid type shirt, with red heels and thigh highs. Was she a milk maid? Was she Swiss Miss without the pigtails? I personally was putting in a vote for the Ricola chick. The point is, none of us knew what she was except a chick with her ass hanging out. The other point, even if she was going for one of the above, none of them dress that way anyway. (The other kicker, some guy told her she looked hot in her "costume" and she got all up in his face. Hello, you twit!! When you dress like that and call it a Halloween costume what the hell do you expect? Don't even try and tell us you never expected that reaction from dudes dressed like that. Dudes, don't watch porn for the story lines.)
A few years back I saw some girl dressed as Betty Boop. She was wearing a short little red dress, with heels, and a garter. Did I fault her? Absolutely not! She was dressed exactly how Betty Boop would dress, weird hair and all. If you dress up looking exactly like the character you're supposed to be (no matter how they look) then you've accomplished the point of Halloween. However, if you put on a skin tight red mini dress and red knee-high boots, you are not a firefighter. Please do not try to convince me you are.
Now, please don't get me wrong. I am by no means a prude. I like to shake my bon-bon and tatas like any other hot-blooded chick, and I do so sometimes in a cute little outfit. I'm all about women embracing their sexual freedom and being allowed to the live the same lifestyle as any guy without being put down and called a ration of sexually explicit names. However, Halloween is not an excuse to go out in your lingerie and call yourself Maria Antoinette or Cinderella. Alice in Wonderland did not show her Cheshire cat to the White Rabbit (at least not in the Disney version) and I certainly do NOT want to see it either.

Yeah, had this conversation with my teenage daughters who were dressed as...um....story book characters.....lets just say they would not be in any elementary school play I ever attended!!!
My husband made the comment to me that he thinks there are two guys somewhere hi-fiving it up saying "YEAH, we did it! We got the entire American female population to dress like tramps for Halloween!!! SCORE!" I resoundingly rolled my eyes at him!

I love ur halloween outfits!!
Where did you guys find the clothes?
Anon~
Thanks!!! These costumes are my favorite of all the Halloween costumes I've ever dressed up in (and I'm a huge Halloween fan so I'm always trying to be creative with Halloween costumes).
We actually made a majority of the costumes. Jeanette's is the only costume that we were able to find all the pieces at stores. We made most of Eleanor's and Brittany's outfits. The only pieces we didn't sew ourselves was Eleanor's white shirt and Brittany's pink over-the-shoulder thing (and that's actually a pink dance skirt that we tied around her shoulders).
I just LOVE Jeanette Can you guys get me those costumes in a child's size? Live an Eight Yr old size? My daughter wants to dress up and Jeanette And needs the stuff for her suit! :D
Checka~
All of Jeanette's costume was bought from normal stores. We bought the skirt and leg warmers at a dance store, the top at boscovs, the shoes are just sneakers and the glasses we bought from a costume shop. You just have to look around at different stores until you find pieces that work the best. That's what we did and then we just sewed the rest ourselves. Good luck!!
last month my friend had a fancy dress party and i dressed as brittany! and all my friends were all "Who the hell are you?" so i had 2 explain and they were all "ok then...." lol
My God, I couldn't have said it better myself!!! I came across this site while trying to find a way to dress as Jeanette this year (which I'm LOVING your outfits, btw). I feel like the only woman in the world who dresses up for the sake of dressing up on Halloween! The only "slutty" Halloween outfit I did was when I went as Jessica Rabbit a few years back.
