Yo!
Well darn. Had I known that there was this popular alternative to my kids' scarecrow & angel costumes I surely would have gotten the pimp costume for the brother and the ho costume for the little sister. /sarcasm
Relax!!! It's halloween for goodness sake.
My youngest dressed as a pirate. Pillage, plunder, rifle and loot! Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
Yeah, that's different.
Mine's Spiderman this year. Glad he's back and so well loved to a new generation. ;)
I also love SpongeBob--can't wait for the movie to come out!
This isn't just a recent thing, they were doing "Pimp and Ho" parties when I was in college almost twenty years ago.

This is bad stuff indeed. What the hell is wrong with parents who buy this crap for their kids? And where is the outrage? It doesn't have to be religious outrage or moral outrage, just the outrage of commonsense.
There were tons of Spidermen (all trying to kung-fu each other) at my son's school and more princesses than a Miss America pagaent.
I did see two Sponge-Bob's.
Let me tell you about Halloween costume sickness in the DC suburbs on the eve of election.
My neighbors just hosted a Halloween party for their friends, and their kids. The parents were all in family friendly costumes....except one set of parents who are huge lefties and Kerry supporters. She came in dragging her husband on a leash. She was a prison guard at Abu Gharib...he was her prisoner.
And to think we opted for Teddy and Edith Roosevelt. Our orginial plan was to have me wear my "W" t-shirt under a burqa. But in the interest of not angering our Kerry-supporting neighbors, and frightening the children, we went with sometime more genteel.
I guess some people are taking "trick or treat" to a new level...
Ha! That doesn't surprise me (the Spider-men)
The Power Rangers beat out the Spider-men at our school. ;)
BTW, SpongeBob SquarePants rocks. :)
How is it possible for a five year old not to pimp his coloring test?
I read that Spiderman is the most popular costume this year--and one of my three boys will indeed be Spiderman!
The worst "costume" I've seen so far was at my town's "Downtown Trick or Treat night" on Thurs--an eight year old boy wearing a T shirt that said "This is my costume; now give me the damn candy."
So sad, on a little 3rd grader no less.

LOL. Mine were Buzz Lightyear (3 yr old boy) & a cow (23 month girl) this year.
Frightening? Frightening the kids would be dressing up as Terayza or Hillary.

Why do grown people like to dress up as weird things anyway?
I feel your joy and pain with having three boys. (See my homepage for proof.)
My youngest is in 2nd grade and has a classmate (girl) who wears make-up. Yeesh!
"She came in dragging her husband on a leash. She was a prison guard at Abu Gharib...he was her prisoner."
I suspect there was something else going on there, but would have been too afraid to ask.
