So it's Halloween
And you feel like dancin'
And you feel like shinin'
And you feel like letting loose

Whatcha gonna be
Babe, you better know
And you better plan
Better plan all day

Better plan all week
Better plan all month
Better plan all year

You're dressed up like a clown
Putting on your act
It's the only time all year
You'll ever admit that

I can see your eyes
I can see your brain
Baby, nothing's changed
[repeat]

You're still hiding in a mask
You take your fun seriously
No, don't blow this year's chance
Tomorrow your mold goes back on

After Halloween

You go to work today
You'll go to work tomorrow
Shitfaced tonight
You'll brag about it for months

Remember what I did
Remember what I was
Back on Halloween

But what's in between
Where are your ideas
You sit around and dream
For next Halloween

Why not everyday
Are you so afraid
What will people say
[repeat]

After Halloween

Because your role is planned for you
There's nothing you can do
But stop and think it through
But what will the boss say to you

And what will your girlfriend say to you
And the people out on the street they might glare at you
And whadya know you're pretty self-conscious too

So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes
Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed
Why don't you take your social regulations
And shove 'em up your ass

I don't know, I think that women being sexy is an unavoidable focus for a holiday based on one night of acceptable roleplaying. Kids being sexualized at younger and younger ages isn't news, so it's not a shock it's reflected in the icons they are preferring. At least one night of flirting with the idea can potentially be less risky than exploring other outlets, and hell, some women have no other excuse, no other way to justify dressing themselves up and feeling all exciting and attractive and different. It's a small freedom. We're on SG, we're all into the sexy, there's no lack of similar motivation in the SG sets.

I'd like to dress up as a second wave feminist for Halloween, but I'm still working out some kinks in my costume.

On the topic of sexy clowns...

I normally like to go as something dead and grotesque,


But for the last couple of years I've wanted to try the scariest costume I could think of. Sexy Dick Cheney.

You know, just add mini skirt, some fishnet thigh highs, the ability to make grown men fall to their knees and weep with terror... Rad!

It's not so much the relentless pressure to be "sexy" even when you're dressed like a dumbass that gets to me, as the sheer lack of imagination and laziness.

This year me and my bloke are hitting the town as Amy Winehouse and Travis Bickle, respectively. It will be awesome. And I intend to look every inch the zoned-out zombie trash queen. I will look like an utter twat. That's the whole POINT. Halloween should be the one time of the year when you can not give a fuck about what people think of your clothes or whatever.

And making "sexy" costumes out of serious illnesses isn't funny or clever, even in an ironic way. It really isn't.

Halloween is the one day that I don't dress totally sexy.

ah yes, i love that song so.

it's always bothered me that halloween is an excuse for girls to dress up as sluts.

My co-workers told me about this little girl they had seen who was wearing a Spiderman costumes a month before Halloween. So some girls can.

I'm disapointed by all halloween costumes these days. They all look like plastic crap. Also, wouldn't it be "sexy Hermione" instead of "sexy Harry Potter"?

You wanna know WHY Halloween has become the Whorish Holiday it has?

Reference events like San Francisco's Exotic Erotic Ball. Women seem to like attention (from males and females) and will stoop to the lowest levels of their "sexuality" to get it. The American society wants to gear it's female children towards becoming Beautiful Whores looking like Barbie to lead tomorrow.

Besides that, all those packaged costumes are just that - packaged at a cheap enough price to look it. For 90% of the costumes I've ever worn in my life, I had to explain wtf I was - #2 from Austin Powers, a character from Ninja Gaiden, one of the Crazy 88 (the first and third are more recent).

The way I see it, the States make Halloween as the excuse for women to dress sexy so they can work it off in two months time :
Halloween - dress like a whore (the trick), get pissed and shag (the treat) that guy in the Mammogram "costume".
Thanksgiving - Be thankful you're not pregnant and nobody found out about the tryst.
Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa - Kiss & make-up with the love of your life, b/c it's the season.
New Year's Eve - Make the resolution to never do it again, but who ever really keeps their New Year's Resolutions, anyways?

You make that sound like a bad thing...

It is . . . for those of us who can't make her cry by the things we do or provide Tiffany's for her everytime we fuck-up.
