Parents are aghast at the racy selection of Halloween costumes being sold to their pre-teen daughers, and understandably so. As laid out in a Washington Post article on the subject, this year's selections include:
...the Sexy Super GirlAnd I couldn't help but notice a charming "Dominatrix" costume displayed up near the check-out counter at Marshalls last week, where kids waiting in line with their parents were sure to be tempted. It seems the pop culture degeneracy I noted earlier this year has come home to roost.
...the Aqua Fairy, a vampy get-up with a black ripped-up skirt, black fishnet tights and blue bustier that comes in medium, large and preteen. A medium fits a child of 8.
...the Funky Punk Pirate Pre-Teen, with an off-the-shoulder blouse and bare midriff.
...the Fairy-Licious Purrrfect Kitty Pre-Teen, which, according to the package, includes a "pink and black dress with lace front bodice and sassy jagged skirt with tail.
...Major Flirt in army green, the bellybutton-baring Devilicious and a sassy, miniskirted French Maid, pink feather duster included.
...a Sexy Cop outfit.

My wife, who manages a store adjacent to a ‘Halloween Costume’ outlet that operates only this time of year, told me this morning about the store nextdoor. Prices range from $35 - $100 or more. A typical child’s costume runs $85. The stuff is nothing special; paper-thin and something to be worn over other clothing. Also, their displays have turned people away; customers have come into her store remarking about how distasteful it is.
Things have really changed. Instead of making it a fun night for kids, it’s turned into a distasteful event for deranged adults. Sad, but something for parents to take note of.
A holiday that celebrates Satan in an increasingly satanic world is turning more and more evil......who could have expected that?
The younger folks at my church are mostly really into Halloween - decorating, costumes, wild parties, the whole schmeer. We decorate for fall, but not Halloween - they think we are really weird for not celebrating the day. And this is a good, Christ-centered Southern Baptist church - not some liberal pseudo-church. Yeah - it’s “for the children”. Satan just laughs and enjoys the day.
