Inappropriate halloween costumes?
 

So, I'm sure most people have seen some pretty damn inappropriate halloween costumes lately. Recently, I saw a group of three 20 year olds, wearing costumes that hung at least half of their bum cheeks out of their 3 inch skirts. The third girl, however, made it so much worse. Every 5 minutes she would stand up, do a little "sexy turn" in our mirrors, and "readjust" her shirt... By pulling it down more so what little chest she did had was barely covered. An eighth of an inch and she would be flashing.

Some other women wearing 80s aerobic gear came in later, and their gear didn't fit. I don't mean, "you can see everything" didn't fit, I mean, "Why is she wearing a size small, when she is clearly an XL, and it looks like she's cutting off circulation?" These girls could barely walk in their leggings!

Later that night, we had a group of 3 women, and 2 men. The three women were all dressed in outfits that let their tremendous boobies hang out, and while one was reaching for a fork, I really hoped they wouldn't come tumbling out. Only one of the men was dressed up... In a tutu so small on his hips that you could see the cherries hanging. At least his shirt covered everything!

I really hope I'm not working Halloween, which I know I am, if this is going to be the result.


Anyone else seen some costumes they wish they could unsee or something just plain inappropriate?
What're your feelings on overly sexual costumes on teens/young adults?
How about for costumes that clearly just don't fit?

Depends on the situation. If it's an adult halloween costume, with only adults attending, fuck it, show off them boobies. If you want to be a slut, go on ahead. But if there are children around, put the damn things away. And this isn't just for Halloween, either. Everyone wants to dress as a sexy nurse, or a sexy bumblebee, or a sexy fairy, or a sexy whatever-the-hell. I'm perfectly content wearing the same costume, only more modest. My girlfriend is the only one allowed to see me naked, and I'll keep it that way. I don't have to show every inch of skin to be sexy, and neither does every single woman out there who thinks wearing a mini skirt is sexy. It's not. It's whore-ish and slutty.

I agree with PWEEP completely. :o

There are very few outfits, let alone costumes that will compliment showing more of the breasts or butt...

If they are PART of the outfit that is fine, like cosplaying as someone, but if it's just trying to squeeze into a tiny outfit it's definitely too far.

Granted if it's an "adult party" and you don't care if people try to sleep with you... go ahead just stay out of sight of the public...

Hey, if you're over 16/18 and want to flaunt what your momma gave you, then go for it! I've worn some pretty skimpy bathing suits before, so I can't criticize people for braving the cold weather in tiny clothing. [lol]

The only inappropriate Halloween costumes in my mind are ones that make light of abuse or racism. Rihanna with a black eye, for example, or using blackface to become a gangsta. Or anything involving those false glasses that give you the appearance of slanted eyes. Those are in such bad taste.

Basically, if anyone purposely dresses up as a victim or another race, then there's something wrong. [no]

See, I don't get this.

Why is Halloween the night that we demonize women for wearing exactly what we tell them every other day of the year that we WANT to see them in?

Sure, your costume fitting you properly is important - it shouldn't be falling off you and you shouldn't be able to see through it (unless you have something on underneath to keep you legal) - but so is doing whatever the hell you want. And if that means being a sexy ladybug? Fucking go for it. Pretty sure I saw plenty of them on Halloween as a kid, and I can assure you I never looked at one of them and said "Mommy, how do people have sex?" That's not a thing that crosses a kid's mind! Halloween was a day for dressing up and getting away with things you couldn't wear in real life. What she wanted was to wear a frilly ladybug bathing suit. Okay. Whatever. So what?

The problem with Halloween costumes is that we, as a society, make it REALLY REALLY DIFFICULT to find women's costumes that DON'T fall into that category - so if you DON'T want to be a sexy bumblebee, you have to go for a novelty thing and/or something from the men's section or make your own. Or something. And that bugs me. But it doesn't mean that what's out there is "inappropriate".

What is inappropriate, though? What Knerd said.

@Cloud - Because that's when those of us who don't want them to show their whole chest and butt to the public start speaking out...
Some of us have to deal with a second brain that decides to go crazy because of these people =.=

@ Knerd - Also something very bad in store for the ones who go as another race... covering your body in body paint can cause problems by not letting your skin breathe.

Yeah, well, that's our problem. If we can't control it, we're the ones who shouldn't be going out.

(...whoops, used the wrong browser again. This is the trouble with sharing a computer. Though Zack echoes the sentiment.)

It's not a matter of controlling it. It's easily controlled... but that doesn't make it any less annoying. These people, when they are done wearing their "sexy" costume showing their butt and chest to the world they'll go wear low cut shirts and miniskirts so low you see their butt year round...

I remember in highschool how many girls, who you could see their underwear without trying and they "dropped" things a lot... was disgusting... that stuff should be kept private with a partner or behind closed doors... not in the public

Maybe so, but that doesn't give anyone else the right to tell someone what they can and can't do with THEIR OWN BODIES as long as it's legal and not hurting anyone.

Really, why should I have the right to go up to someone and say that "OMG UR CLOTHSES MAEK ME UNCOMFFRBL CHAENG DEM NAO"? A total stranger's body isn't public property. ANYONE'S body is theirs and theirs alone.

Complaining about how someone who is not in violation of any laws or dress codes dresses is like going up to a homeowner and saying "Well, no, you didn't break any of the homeowner's association regulations, but I just don't like the lace you used for your curtains. Change them."

"And if I refuse?"

"I'll just have to annoy you and complain about you behind your back until you do."

People can wear whatever they want... they can go as far as butt naked as a costume for all I care... but I reserve the right to say "Eww" to clothing that shows too much. If we're going with the "right to do what they want" I have the right to be publicly disgusted by it, granted I wont likely be saying eww to their face.

If they want their "right" I can have my equal "right" in that department.

This.

See, I'm a little bit on the fence about this. PERSONALLY, I would not dress in a skimpy/super sexy outfit. But, I understand why some women do it. Halloween is generally a day where you can go all out and just.. feel good about yourself. It feels good to feel sexy. Now that being said, some women don't dress themselves "well" and that's where the terms slut, whore and skank fly in.

I feel that is wrong. I may not like how they dress; it makes me a bit uncomfortable, a bit grossed out to see something I shouldn't. But I can look away. As long as children don't see a vagina hanging out or a penis flapping about. It's okay. A butt is a butt, it's not generally appealing to see. Breasts aren't bad.

Though, I don't like how certain parts of the body are taboo and should not be seen by children. Hell, when I was five, I knew about sex. I'm pretty sure while I was out, there was sexy costumes about, and I wasn't emotionally scarred or badly influenced.

But regardless, at least they're not in their birthday suit.

Since they were all adults and as long as there were no children/minors present where ever you were where you witnessed them then I'm sorry but I honestly don't see the problem.
An adult is supposed to be educated enough to understand what it means to give that kind of image of themselves and their choices are theirs alone. It IS of course inappropriate for even an adult to dress provocatively in certain situations such as work or social events and/or in the presence of children/minors. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with adults dressing provocatively except that it sends a negative message but that's their problem.

There are actually also ways to show some stuff without being inappropriate which is even more entitled to an adult. There is nothing wrong with trying to attract a little harmless attention. Everyone needs some sex, it's natural and keeps life going.

Halloween in particular is a different story entirely. Halloween is supposed to the one day with the most freedom to be what you want. The one exception being that you still have to be wary of children/minors. For example I agree with not wearing a provocative costume if you're giving out candy.

So yeah as long as these people were not around kids I say it's fine.

Let people do whatever they want. It's really of nobody's concern what I put on my body.
