Frightening.

My annual rant:

Now I know that Halloween is a time-honored opportunity for the ladies to dress more, um, provocatively than they normally would. There are classics like the sexy nurse and the french maid and what have you. But it seems like lately there is a slut-ified version of everything. I remember holding back gags as the girls on my college cheerleading team recited their plans, which included such ideas as (and I may be paraphrasing): "slut with butterfly wings," "whore with devil horns," "hooker with cat ears," and the list went on. I would then go home and joke to Matt that I was going to dress-up as something like a "sexy hobo" or a "trampy giraffe." I thought I was being ironic, but it turns out that you really can make anything slutty:

To my dismay, alarm, and amusement, these are all commercially available on the internets. A sexy Sherlock? Really? And the "mental patient" one is just downright offensive. Although this nonsense does make me feel like I am taking crazy pills!
