The Frugal Halloween Tricksters!

Written by The Sarcasmist on October 8, 2009 - Comments (28)

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.

  1. I love sarcasm! Way to go Ali!

  2. Oh, I do so care about the economy and the environment! Perhaps this year I should dress up as Mother Nature and wear a small bikini made of leaves? That oughta do it.

  3. SiriusHPfan must have been making a very subtly sarcastic comment. We all know that most girls dress like hoes year-round, so saying Halloween is a special day could only be sarcastic.

  4. I’m glad I live in a world where I can save money by blinding everyone with my flab!

  5. blahblahblah a hoe by any other costume is still a hoe.
    I enjoy clever costumes, or well made ones, the hoes that wear lingerie are just that: hoes. No originality, no thought, just here are all my goods and come get me.
    Lame and they ruin the holiday.

  6. Hm….. Suppose Cameron Diaz wore a short skimpy tight fitting nurses costume that made her boobs look as big as the hunch on Notre Dame’s back. Suppose the “town bicycle”-girl from school wore it too. No one would call Cameron a hoe, but they certainly would call the girl known as the “town bicycle” one! IT’S SIMPLY A MATTER OF PULLING IT OFF.
    If people know your not really that type of person then it really is just a costume, if your nick name is “town bicycle” you should get another costume because then you are in working clothes.

  7. Excellent commentary. I had no idea so many women were dressing up like gardening implements!

    Hey geniuses, work on your vocabulary skills. The word you want is “ho,” not “hoe.” I can’t believe this many people made this mistake.

    define:hoe
    1. An agricultural tool consisting of a long handle with a flat blade fixed perpendicular to it at the end, used for digging rows. (en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hoe)

    define:ho
    1. (slang, pejorative) A whore; a sexually loose woman; in general use as a highly offensive name-calling word for a female with connotations of loose sexuality. (en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ho)

    The more you know~*

  8. Lol HamatoKameko I was just about to comment on that, it wasn’t just a few people.. everyone used the wrong word.

    Nola, thank you for explaing this to everyone it seemed a few people here were confused and couldn’t distinguish between people who are hos and people who dress as a ho on a day where everyone dresses up.

    (I’m deeply sorry for the none sarcastic comment..)

  9. I thought this page would be funny and full of sarcasm but it’s just a bunch of whingers an F heads!!!…..Perhaps you all should look up ‘sarcasm’ and the redirect your rants….

  10. Funny, nobody complains when I wear my skanky Halloween costume…. People who say they don’t like it when girls dress naughty are either looking at the fuglies who dress slutty (a very common phenomenon), are jealous that they can’t dress like that and get attention(they themselves are the fuglies previously mentioned), bitter that the hot girls won’t hook up with them (the straight men replying to this post), or simply not interested in woman at all (the gay men replying to this post.) So get over your own insecurities and let those of us who are attractive enjoy our sexuality. I’m sorry you are too lazy to go to the gym or don’t have enough discipline to eat healthy — not my problem. Thanks!

    • Thank you, Heather, for making a valid point. Clearly, no attractive woman would ever even consider not being a ho. In this day and age, it’s common knowledge that it’s a virtual impossibility for a woman to be both attractive and morally sound (though, if you’re anything of a representative voice, it’s a given that attractive women are also obnoxiously arrogant).
