Ooh, how meta: One of the most popular slutty Halloween costume choices...in a slutty Halloween costume.

Hello my peeps.
Well, it's safe to assume that we've finally jumped the shark with this whole Halloween slutty-cat, slutty-frog, slutty-tax accountant phenom if it's in the New York Times. The article, in brief, states that women allegedly feel "safe" on this one day out of the year to dress outrageously sexy, slutty, jail-bait-esque, etc., and still have brunch with the grandparents the next morning. C'mon, just like girls kissing-- it's about being eye candy. When I went to an all-girls Catholic school (what, you're surprised?) and there were no boys within a 5 mile radius, we would go to school dressed up in costumes for Halloween. I don't recall nary a slutty witch or girl scout in the bunch; instead, we dressed...in Halloween costumes. A few girls dressed as an attractive six-pack of Budweiser (hey, the nuns liked their booze, so it was a hit), one girl dressed as an M&M using a couple of brown plastic trash bags, and me and my friend were Crockett & Tubbs from Miami Vice. (Hmm...dressing in drag...must talk to my therapist about that one.)
So, this year, will I buck the trend of exploiting my sexuality for 24 hours and go as something really innovative and creative? Of course not. As per usual, I'll be the "slutty Crossing Guard who's gonna arrest you naughty boy jay-walkers!".
