Halloween: Sexy For All?

An exploration into sexy costimes

Halloween: Sexy For All?

Halloween is a little under two weeks away, which means that it's time to think of costumes. You maybe like me, and try to opt for homemade options, or you can go the easy route and buy a costume from a store like Spirit Halloween or Halloween Adventure. Halloween stores carry a variety of relevant pop culture costumes, but the glaringly obvious feature, are the "sexy costumes." Manufactured for women, sexy costumes are super revealing pieces of fabric meant to resemble a costume. Often "sexy" costumes are different occupations, characters, or everyday objects. They're frustrating. If someone wants to wear a sexy costume, there's nothing wrong with that, the frustration stems from the fact that sexy costumes are a ploy to further make women into sexual objects. And, they can sometimes be utterly ridiculous.

1. Sexy Nun

Maybe I went to the wrong school, but the nuns that taught at my Catholic school didn't look like this. Sexy Nun just baffles me because nuns are not meant to be sexy.. at all. They take a vow of chastity, so their lives are about as sexy as a Ken Burns special on the Dust Bowl. Although, this could be what they're wearing underneath their habits, so maybe I shouldn't be so quick to judge.

2. Sexy TSA Agent


I don't know about you, but to me, there's nothing sexier than the TSA. Waiting in ridiculously long lines while sweat is on every inch of your body, having a Ken Bone look-a-like give you a good pat down, move over "Fifty Shades of Gray!". If only the TSA agents dressed in uniforms like the costume, flying would be so much more interesting!

3. Sexy Cop

Sexy Cop is a staple in the realm of sexy costumes. While men get to wear an actual pretend cop uniform, women have the option of wearing stilettos, which definitely make chasing after criminals easier. It's comforting to know that costume companies understand a woman's desire to look sexy no matter what occupation she has.

4. Sexy Nemo


"Finding Nemo" is an heartwarming, animated classic with characters beloved by millions over the years. However, it wasn't sexy enough. Well know if you want to be tiny, young clownfish that goes missing, you can now! Instead of attempting to look like an actual fish just wear what looks like dyed ACE bandages stapled together.

5. Sexy Convict


I know that "Orange is is the New Black" has some sexy scenes, but I know that the inmates aren't dressed like this. I took a peak at the "Men's Costumes" and saw that the convict costumes range from orange jumpsuits to the traditional striped rendition. Cool.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
