The quickest costume is a trip to goodwill for a pseudo gypsy get-up with every bit of costume jewerly in drawer for the accessories.
Works even for big girls, come to think of it :)

Any parent who lets their teen (or younger) dress as described in this article needs to be horse whipped.
LOL. I misread that as "homos".
What's next? The Jon-Benet Ramsey costume?
This is the gradual acceptance of paganism and hedonism that has become Halloween. One generation ago, my daughter was a princess, a hobo, and Casper the Ghost. If it were now, she'd be staying home and getting prepared for All Soul's Mass at our church.
This is just part of the "Erase God and All His Wonders" from American life. It is also the "GET THE CHILDREN" part of the socialism/feminism/homosexual agenda. N.O.W. that's true horror.
Oh please. Usual feminist garbage. Nobody except Hollywood and the mass media is encouraging young girls to want to look like hookers under the freeway overpass. It's not a "rebellion" against being pretty or feminine. It's mass marketing of something that the "feminist" groups essentially support, because they view it as violating ordinary American Judeo-Christian social and sexual ethics. Which it does, and which is fine with the "feminists".
yeah, part of this can be attributed to both parents working or single parent homes. no one is home to make a costume, so they hand the kid money and drop 'em off at the mall.
fortunately we don't have to deal too much with the skimpy outfits on kids up here in MI. too darn cold.
Well, gee Jennifer, why don't you go ahead and make your daughters a costume and have them wear that? Who's the parent here?
Luckily, we have all boys, and 2 are going to be a pirate and one a cowboy.
It is usually role playing. People dress as their secret desires. It is no wonder young girls today would choose over the top sexy costumes, they are taught by much of pop culture to seek this as what society values most.
And society DOES value it sadly for quite some time now, and the standards are slipping lower and lower.
"It's hard to be a good ghost in a fitted sheet..."
Here are some suggestions for truly scary and un-sexy costumes for girls:
1. Hillary Clinton (black pantsuit and mask)
2. Helen Thomas
3. Nancy Pelosi
4. Barbara Boxer
Well, one thing about living in Minnesota is that it's going to be in the low 30s on Halloween. Not too many scantilly clad teenagers trick or treating around here.
Last year, we counted 123 kids who stopped by. Time to go out for the candy.
yikes
I had no idea what Handy Candy was, so I looked it up on Google. Saw it, and was shocked to consider any young pre-teen or teen girl walking around at night dressed like that.
Sure... Look for the Mark Foley masks this year!
Back in the 50s, my girl cousin and I often dressed up as "fancy ladies." That usually meant raiding a box of Mom's castoffs in the basement and putting make up on each other. My boy cousins were usually "hobos." We had one lion costume between us and I think we each took 1 turn wearing it over the years. My cousins and I tramped through our neighborhood for candy and other treats like candied apples or fresh donuts and hot cocoa or cider. Parental involvement was next to nil, other than handing out candy and carving the pumpkin. There was no school involvement, no business involvement, no costume contests. It was a great night!
