Women's Costumes Too Sexy?

Choosing a Halloween costume is already difficult especially with what women have to choose from...

Women's Costumes Too Sexy?

HALLOWEEN IS COMING Y'ALL! It is the best holiday yet to exist, due to idea that you can dress up as anything or anyone you want to be.The opportunities are endless. But sadly, there is a downfall to this magical holiday: the oversexualization of women's Halloween costumes.

Have you ever been Halloween shopping and looked the selection for women's costumes? They are ridiculous. A prime example is, when you google search "women's hot dog Halloween costumes," you get a little something like this...

I didn't even have to put the word "sexy" in the google search to get results like this. If you would like to go as a sexy hot dog this year, this is the costume for you.

Most of the costumes you find in Halloween stores are too "sexy" and leave girls to pick and choose from a very limited selection. Either be a sexy hot dog or a sexy police officer? Your choice! Whatever girls end up choosing they will be seen as "sluts" and it is completely out of their control. This leaves an impression on young girls, that when they grow they will be expected to wear short skirts and leather dresses that suffocate your boobs, so that they can dress up for Halloween. Now don't get me wrong, if you want to be a sexy hot dog (why wouldn't you want to?) go ahead. No judgement here. If you feel confident in it, do you. But a change has to be made to the extremely limited selection women have when choosing a Halloween costume. Women shouldn't have to choose to expose their body to the cold October weather if they don't want to.

To the ladies out there, I wish you good luck on finding an awesome costume this Halloween and I hope you rock whatever you choose.

Happy Halloween!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
