Gabby Cirenza wanted to be a referee for Halloween. The outfit she liked had a micro-mini black skirt and a form-fitting black and white-striped spandex top held together with black laces running up the flesh-exposing sides. She looked admiringly at the thigh-high black go-go boots that could be bought as an accessory. And she thought the little bunny on the chest was cute.
"Absolutely not," said her mother, Cheryl. "That is so not happening."
Gabby is 11.
And the Playboy Racy Referee costume was only the latest that her mother had vetoed one pre-Halloween-crazed afternoon at Party City in Baileys Crossroads as too skimpy, too revealing, too suggestive .
Bawdy Halloween costumes, however, have become the season's hottest sellers in recent years. Not just for women, but for girls, too. And parents such as Cirenza don't like it.
Gabby eyed the Sexy Super Girl but decided against it. A friend at her Catholic school had worn that costume for a Halloween parade and pulled the already short miniskirt way up to cover her tummy. "That didn't look very good." But Gabby did like 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.
No.
How about the Funky Punk Pirate Pre-Teen, with an off-the-shoulder blouse and bare midriff?
No.
Gabby pointed to 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. . . . Wings require some assembly."
Cheryl Cirenza shook her head in exasperated disbelief. "This is all so inappropriate. It's really disturbing."

Did you see this? Coincidence? I think not. /s
No not all of it she doesn't but she eats enough. Hey she has older brothers too you know that want candy!
lmao Sassy is having a blast without me or Joe taking her out. She loves Pam & her boys so she is much happier then if the brothers took her out. I wish I was able to go. (big pout)
Her older adult (ostensibly) brothers are going to beg, borrow and steal her candy? I protest!
(1) Either use Yochanan and Yeshua or John and Jesus. If you're going to be affected, use the complete affectation.
(2) His approximate timing of John's birth is based on his unproven assumption that the Abijites served at Sukkot.
As you conceded, your source does not prove that the Abijites did Temple service on Sukkot. So he hasn't proven his date for John's birth, and therefore he hasn't proven his date for Jesus' birth, either.
John's papa would have served in the temple in june. Nine months later is passover. 6 months after that is sukkot. John was probably born around passover, and Yeshua was probably born around sukkot.
The fact that I miswrote doesn't answer the fundamental question: on what evidence is your source basing his claim that the Abijite priests served at a specific time?
read 1 chronicles. King David set up the time schedule for the priestly families.
Of course. Now where in 1 Chronicles does it say what time each of the divisions shall serve? On what is this dating based?
Sorry, I still don’t agree. Shame the parents but don’t call a 10 year old little girl trick or treating a whore. Kids want what is popular, what they see their idols wearing on TV, what their friends are admiring. They want to fit in and they always want to push the envelope. Parents can just say no.
