Would you visit Grandma in that costume?
Or better yet, attend a church service? Now, I'm not saying that everything you wear must be appropriate for Grandpa or your creepy uncle, but if you plan on walking around campus dressed like that, you can bet that every skeazy guy, old and young, is staring at your junk.
There are certain costumes that are worn every year, but in recent years, ladies have been showing off way too much skin. I expect nothing less from our girls this year.
Pirate- This is done every year. And every year the girl thinks she is being so creative. A short ripped-up skirt, a bandana and tall lace-up boots do not make a Halloween costume.
Superhero- A blue bra and matching underwear with an "S" painted on your chest and a cape is Superman, right? No. Superman wore a full-coverage spandex suit. You can do the same and still look sexy.
SpongeBob, Elmo, Alice in Wonderland-It's sad when we transform these childhood characters into sex icons of the season.
Animals- Just because you put wings or ears on lingerie doesn't mean that makes it a quality Halloween costume.
Firefighter/police officer/construction worker/military- These costumes demean the uniforms of important organizations in our society. Who decided this would be cute?
Nurse/French maid- It's a sad testament to the college-aged girls to scour the stores for the most revealing outfit to wear for an evening. They keep pushing the limits. I remember when girls used to just wear a short, low-cut dress. These days, we're lucky if we can get them to leave on undergarments. There is no excuse for these distasteful costumes.
Referee/sports players- Now, I don't have a problem with costumes using these ideas just as long as you cover yourself. Dressing up in your older brother's football jersey and pants and sporting some cleats is cute as long as you don't tie up the jersey around your chest and wear white booty shorts instead of the pants. There's a huge difference.
School girl- Girls always claim that it's the one time a year when they can get away with wearing anything. Why is looking like a little girl sexy?
Lady Gaga- Some will be just downright crazy. But please, there are plenty of Gaga options — pick one with something to it. No one wants to see you in a meat outfit where we can all see the prime cut.
Criminal- We've all seen the black and white striped slinky dresses with the thigh-high patent leather boots and handcuffs. Since when is it cool to be a jailbird?
Bottom line, girls: Whatever you decide to wear this year, dress appropriately. Yes, guys want to see you in barely anything, but that doesn't mean you have to give it to them. And no other girl wants to walk around this weekend with a bunch of naked girls. There are plenty of ways to be cute or even sexy while wearing little more than lingerie. t&c;
