Sexy Halloween costumes...zzzzzzzz.

Eve_Dublin

So another Halloween has passed. This is the one time of the year I like to dress up like an idiot and have fun but it seems like more and more women every year with sezro imagination who are afraid to let go simply dress up as some sexy nurses, sexy devil, sexy cat/tiger, sexy ghost, sexy vampire or whatever boring, overused idea we've all seen a million times.

Now yes, they look sexy and sexy is good because it's sexy but we have every day of the week to do the sexy thing but back in my day (fado fado), Halloween was a time to have a laugh. Not blowing my own trumpet here but I went as a very unsexy box of cornflakes. I constructed a cornflakes box out of a cardboard box, made spoons out of cardboard and tinfoil and even made a hat shaped like a bowl of cornflakes. Saturday night I went to a party filled to the brim with women dressed as sexy whatevers (I live in Spain and everyone at the party was either English, Irish or American mainly...the Spanish don't really do the Halloween thing yet although it's creeping in). The men had a laugh and dressed up in fun costumes but the women....they let me down and I ended up feeling like a bit of a numpty in spite of myself.

Does every little thing we do nowadays have to be sexy?? (yes, yes...I know what answers to expect from here..) What happened to just having fun for fun's sake? Halloween has become boring and porsaic like everything else and what was once my favourite time of year has now become a bore.

Boooo :-(

Last night I adorned my cornflakes box again to show others I will not conform, damnit! And it was actually a good night...at least I had my fun

Well, Catwoman is a character from Batman, putting it slightly closer to the Halloween ballpark.

I never said the costume had to be related to Halloween.

But, you complained about sexy costumes having nothing to do with Halloween.

I don't think Eve's doing that - just expressing a view. It is of course up to anyone how they want to dress up, and I'd agree not every girl who dresses in an uber skimpy outfit is trying to be sexy for the lads, plus lots of "scary" outfits are sexy (in the good way!)

Yeah, I know she's only expressing a view but I guess it's tantamount to pissing in the wind; I think most people drink too much and can't understand how they enjoy themselves that way but it don't change nothin': people will follow the crowd.

I remember the days of bin liners and witch's hats. Simpler times *sigh*

Lads generally look original/ funny/ scary but most girls just dress up as male fantasies, leading me to believe there are some very, very odd fetishes out there... sexy watermelon?! Anyways cracked.com says it better than I ever could.

Read the context; got the bitchiness. Your knickers are twisted why exactly?

I'm an absolute bitch! You got me! Some women do sexy Halloween costumes with a bit of imagination, some don't. Those who don't annoy me personally but like Miss Olenska gets annoyed by wacky costumes. It's just a view.

I'm not a woman-hater. I don't get jealous of other women and I don't resent other women being sexy. I'm commenting on their costumes, not their sexiness. I'm secure enough in my own looks to not feel that way.

Why do some men believe all women have some secret hatred for other women? Why do some men believe were all a trembling mess of insecurity?? FFS...

How so?

Halloween being a festival of harvest time includes elements of that season........ pumpkins, scarecrows, corn husks...... imagination...

Because you're not bothering to read the thread properly - just gleefully finding bitchiness where there isn't any, from a woman. As you're wont to do every so often.

Sigh. There's no bitchiness, no? and I'm only finding it because I've an issue with women?

That's pretty pathetic Dudess.

Generally, anything in the scary theme is aligned with the intrepretation of Halloween in the modern sense. Yeah, yeah, we all know it was originally a pagan festival but it has evolved since then.

To include DC comics which trumps imagination according to some...

That's alright. I've no real problems with this. As I said, this doesn't keep me up at night. It was supposed to be a light-hearted thread, not an attack on the idea of sexy or sexy women. It's a light-hearted view on a certain kind of costume lacking imagination (like people who dress up as smurfs). It's After Hours and most of what's posted here is "pissing in the wind" and the aimless ramblings of hungover posters minds. I've made my point but some people are taking this very, very seriously and accusing me of being a bitch and when I defend myself, they say I'm being defensive

Of course I fecking am! I've just been (unfairly in my opinion) labelled a bitter bitch!

I'm out of here...

In fairness, Eve has a view that it's boring the way some (mostly much younger to be fair) girls go all "Heeheehee! I'm naughty and sexy!" over Halloween. The kinda ones who do that "I'm so surprised a picture was taken of me with my tits out" expression on Facebook. Say they're not irritating and you're lying!

If Eve finds it boring, she finds it boring - and she has a right to express that view without being told she's unattractive, jealous or bitchy. It's getting SERIOUSLY old at this stage...

I think a sexy costume is great if it displays a bit more than simply "Let's make the boys like us".

Nice job wrecking the thread, haters...

Brain Stroking

The concept of fancy dress gets very boring very quickly. As for those who spend lots of time and money on outfits, well that just worries me. All for a few "likes" on a facebook page.

holystungun9

It may have been possible to walk the very thin line of fun/quirky and sexiness by carefully placing the cornflakes over your sexy bits.

Because we observe your behaviour. I am a professional working in offices for the past 15 years. Women are terrible for fighting amongst themselves. Lads generally grow out of getting in rows etc but the bitching that goes on (without exception) is something to behold

In fairness if you bitch about something, you can be called a bitchy.
I never suggested anything else.

On the other hand accusing me of "not bothering to read the thread properly - just gleefully finding bitchiness where there isn't any, from a woman. As you're wont to do every so often" is seriously pathetic.

Yeah and it's kinda tedious being a woman who isn't like the above, yet is told she is, simply because she's also a woman... :rolleyes:

I think with costumes you have to balance originality with the person wearing what they want to wear.

And laziness and lack of skills are factors too.

Unable to make something, I got a knock-off version of a famous character's costume, which with some TLC became more authentic.

But if I could, as a big horror film buff, I would've gone as a horror film icon.
But I felt if I got a storebought one, I would've felt like I wasn't doing the character justice by being lazy.

But if I tried to make one myself, it would probably have been pretty lame.

(Stranger: "Who are you supposed to be?"
Me: "Micheal Myers from Halloween. From that part where his mask fell off for a second."
Stranger: "...")

Though I promise myself next year I'll put in the time and effort to go as Count Orlok from Nosferatu.

So some people just go for the storebought ones as it's convenient or they can't be bothered making one.
And unfortunately the choices for female costumes are mostly limited to the "sexy [something]" variety.

I dressed as britney spears in baby one more time, white knee high socks, tiny school girl skirt, white shirt with knot tied in it etc... But Im male! sorry for being a bore OP

Catari Jaguar

I just think a lot of crowd following wimminz sell themselves short on Halloween. No problem with that but it does get a bit face palmish.

I'm a doctor/ scientist (that's smart) no no I'm sexy

I'm a DC comics superhero (oooh! heroic!) no, a sexy superhero

I'm a pirate (that's... swashbuckling!) no I'm a sexy pirate

I'm a cat (that's insert cat- like trait) no no I'm a sexy cat

I'm Freddy Kreuger (pretty scary) it's not, it's sexy Freddy Kreuger

I'm a clown (gonna do something funny?) nope, I'm just sexy.

Sexiness, the true spirit of Halloween.

I'm the exception. I'm not like that at all. Never have been.

I argue with EVERYBODY...both men AND women.
