Hey Samantha — check back here in ten or fifteen years when you’re an “old hag” yourself, and let us know if you want your thirteen-year-old daughter going out dressed like a skanky ho. Seriously.

In the meantime, have a skank-o-licious Halloween, parading around in your slutfit!

as a teenager myself, i think you’re all overreacting.
halloween is the ONLY night, where a girl can be as skanky as she wants without people talking about them,
let your kids be a slut for one day,
it doesn’t hurt them to feel sexy once in a while.
get some balls,
let her live a little,
you old hags.

Amen brother!

I wrote about this exact same thing last year when getting a costume for my daughter. I literally wanted to throw-up seeing the crap costumes the sell for girls.
And it’s WORSE for the tween and teenage set!!!

I wonder what kind of parents allow this? Moms DO NOT let your daughter’s dress like that. You obviously do not understand how a teenage boys’ mind works (it’s 150% penis brainpower)
And those Dads allowing their daughter to dress like this should be arrested.

Personally, I find this entire article very disturbing. The skirts you are talking about are not too short- the Bratz costume skirt was at the knee, which is fine! You people must be oversheltering your kids- they will be exposed to this stuff anyway, and you dont seem to trust their sense of maturity at all! I feel very embarrassed for the young girl who is modeling the witch ballet costume- how would you feel, at THAT AGE, if someone called your costume SLUTTY? I’d be CRYING!! Do you people see what you’re doing to these kids? These girls dont understand what their wearing, and how it is wrong- how dare you have such a perverted look on those costumes!!” Preteen girls with their buttcheeks hanging out of their Daisy Dukes. I even saw one girl wearing what looked like spandex hotpants.” Why were you looking at those parts of their costumes, anyway?

I work in a store that does HUGE business in Halloween, and all of us who work there are shocked by some of the costumes. We don’t have Bratz or Hannah Montana, but the Barbie costumes for little girls are too slutty for me. And there’s a line being marketed to tweens/ teens that is SO SLUTTY (impossibly short skirts, fishnets, major cleavage)… and they complain that “it’s not sexy enough”, and their parents just go along with it.

I was actually glad to find out that I’m having another boy because I won’t have to deal with the sexification of little girls- we just have to teach them to respect women in a world that clearly doesn’t.

That about sums up the week here at the SD. You know you've had the best. week. ever. when you take on all those ridiculous, stupid parents who dress their kids like door-to-door baby sluts and then, to top it all off, you find the most delicious

Atlas,

I’m sure this is what you were looking for by making that comment so here it is:

“You’re an Idiot!”

Dude, it’s no secret that Halloween has become (W)hore-o-ween for some time now (see “Mean Girls” movie, when they’re referencing it in Disney-esce movies it’s way mainstream) but to imply that the under girls the age of 7 have already decided to “slut it up” is beyond lame. For starters it’s their parents who are encouraging it; and the parents of kids in who are that young, generally range in age from Gen Xers to the slackers who are got knocked up in high school 7 years ago, so that would make them around say 25. Let’s say ages 25-40, even 50. You tell me, what generation do they all fit into?

Don’t get me wrong, if you want to slut it up and you’re an adult go for it. Well, go for it if you can pull it off, otherwise no one wants to see that. But to call us “hags” or “out of touch” or whatever term you want to use because we think it’s inappropriate for children to dress in a “sexy” manner? I believe that makes you a very short step away from a having to registar as a sex offender. Honestly dude, you gross me out.

i *hate* shopping (including regular clothes shopping) for my little girl – the clothes are too “sexy” for a 7 yo. skirts (within reason) and shirts/blouses are okay, but the mid-driff tops and short mini skirts are a no-no.

if parents would stop buying it, then the manufacturers (sp?) would have to think twice about they clothes they peddle . . .

I just wrote a similar type post on my site this morning. I have three kids (two girls and a boy). I make their costumes each year so as not to have to deal with innapropriate choices. My youngest (2) is going as a witch, and her costume consists of a black tutu over a pair of leggings with a long-sleeved shirt. My oldest (8) wants to be a snow princess – she’s getting a white tutu over a pair of pink sweatpants and a jeweled long-sleeve shirt (with fairy wings and a crown). Aside from the sluttiness of those costumes pictured, they are impractical for cold Halloween nights in NY. My son wants to be a vampire – he only cares about the fake teeth.

Rigid, controlling Mommy (me) has a rule that daughter can only be something from nature. As in some sort of animal. Last year a squirrel, this year an owl. The bigger question is how we have let Halloween become the new Christmas with it’s endless products, decorations, special clothes, etc. It is a coup of marketing genius, but ruins what used to be a pretty innocent little minor holiday that actually required creativity…because way back when (the 70′s) we made our costumes. And if it were a sheet for a ghost, so be it. Yes, I made the squirrel costume, but bless Ebay for the Pottery Barn owl. And Atlas? If “different generation” means a generation of acetate-wearing tramps…then I’ll fight it every year.

Oh christ “Devilicious”? Who the hell would let their kids wear that?

Ok, the worst that I have ever seen is actually for a man….called Evil Gynecologist!! What a horrible and sick costume.

Amen! I was looking online for a cow costume for my almost-three-year-old, and saw just ridiculously sexualized girl costumes. Fishnets, short skirts, etc. WHo buys these? Disgusting.

In Sunday’s paper was a flyer from Pary Town or similar, and my husband and I were appalled at the choices they had for young girls and teens. The part that’s even more upsetting is that they wouldn’t keep making these outfits if parents weren’t buying them. What is up with parents? I mean…
Hermione this is not
