Has anyone noticed that Halloween costumes have been using increasingly smaller amounts of fabric year over year? It may be the economy, or shortage of fabric, or that people try to just save money by buying costumes that use the least material and are proportionally cheaper. If this is the case, some women must be saving a ton of money over the past few years. Their costumes seem to be getting progressively smaller and shorter, and of course cheaper. Finally, we have become a society that doesn’t spend everything it earns (and more).
Of course there are always those holier than thou instigators who denigrate these penny-wise women (and some men) as opportunists who want to flaunt their wares under the guise of ‘dressing up’ for Halloween. Darn those slanderous heathens, who try to turn an act of frugality into something salacious.
Gives a whole new meaning to ‘trick’ or treat. I wonder which one I would want.
Okay, you people obviously missed the memo. Halloween is the one time a year when a girl can dress like a hoe and get away with it. And we will spend a lot of money to do it simply BECAUSE we only get to do it once a year. Unless you’re like me and go to anime cons, in which case you have excuse to do it 3-4 times a year. ^_^ In which case, you get crafty and learn to buy things from flea markets, goodwill, etc. and learn to sew your own clothes to save money.
My sarcasm-less response to you: It’s not okay to look and/or act like a hoe at any time, or in any place. Hence why people mock them, oh, say, all the time. I don’t care if it’s Halloween or Otakon – you look like a hoe? Your ass is getting laughed at by everyone, whether you realize it or not.
Cosplaying is fun, whether you’re at a con or not.
Yeah, maybe random passerbys will laugh, but the people you’re with and who actually matter are generally in cosplay too. As long as it’s fun, it doesn’t really matter what other people think ^^
I am one of those plus size costumes, and even they don’t seem to have a lot of material in them. I like to keep the fat hidden, makes me feel better.
Just goes to show how all girls want guys to look at their body.
I love how most girls don’t admit how easy they are, good job SiriusHPfan for going against the grain.
I’m amused how dressing up as hoe when it is sociably acceptable makes it right, even though people will check out with the same pervy eyes :P
I dress up like very dressed up male characters in Halloween just to make a point (and it is not because there is nothing to show, but I feel that if play the hot bimbo card you risk not being taken seriously)
Halloween makes me exceptionally proud to live in America, where women are equal to men. It is our right to parade ourselves and cheap sex objects with serious self esteem issues and an eating disorder, because we aren’t forced by our religion and government to wear a jilbaab and have self-respect and a unique identifier, such as personality. What archaic notions they have!
Don’t forget the ecological reasons for having tiny costumes – many halloween outfits these days are made from synthetic materials which harm the environment. Whenever I see someone wearing a costume that has less overall mass than their makeup, I always think “that person cares for mother nature”.
No Matt, girls dress up for other girls. They know guys don’t give a shit how they look at long as we can get in their pants.
Unfortunatley, I have noticed the same lack of fabric for the child size costumes this year, too
Yes…I must say I have NEVER minded the idea of grown ups or even teenagers with their friends wearing skimopy halloween costumes…but seriously, anyone who can fit into a size 4-6 chioldrens should NOT be dressing like a HO! ….of course that would completely eliminate the entire “Bratz” line of costumes!! Time to bring out the big white sheets and cut a couple of eye holes in them!!
“SiriusHPfan,” because the title of this website is quite impossible to read as the lettering is so tiny and well hidden, I thought I should inform you that this is “The Sarcasmist” by The Sarcasm Society. Additionally, a tool that you might find very handy is, if you open a separate tab in your web browser (press Ctrl + T on your keyboard), and go to google, you can type “define:sarcasm” (without a space between the colon and the second word) and it will tell you what this page is about. I know there is absolutely no way you could have known this though, so I just wanted to pass on the wealth of information that is available to you on this lovely invention we call the worldwide web. Furthermore, while you are on the google definitions page, you may also like too look up the words “denigrate,” “slanderous,” “heathen,” “frugality,” “salacious,” “holier,” “thou,” “progressively,” “costume,” “economy,” “increasingly,” “fabric,” and every other word in the above article and the post I have just written that you do not understand. Happy browsing!
Win. ‘nough said.
The above poster is an artist, sarcasmless. Well done.
