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.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
