Many adult women use office Halloween parties as a chance to show off their figures in skimpy outfits. Adult costume sites are filled with costumes like, “sexy nurse,” “sexy flight attendant,” “sexy pirate,” “sexy nun,” etc. Now it’s filtered down to the kids.

Unfortunately, in my world Halloween is the gay Christmas. I can deal with my nice colleague who wears vampire fangs backstage but listening to the endless plans for dressing up as women and getting the perfect size 15 pumps is just toooooooo much for me.

None of the costumes on that party city link are any more salacious than the average high school cheerleader attire, or for that matter, the average catholic school girl uniform.

I find it interesting that Halloween has a Christian background to it.

My 12 year old took an old sheet and drew a pumpkin, witch, etc. on it and proclaimed herself The Halloween Spirit. It sounds like a cop out, but she put a lot of effort into it.

Meanwhile, I am still trying to figure out what to dress as for a party on Saturday. Nothing involving zombies. I hate zombies!!

The pre-teen and teenage girls who show up...

Back in the Eisenhower years, when I was growing up, only grade-school kids would go trick-or-treating. Halloween was essentially a children's holiday.

I notice when I drive through the poorer sections of my town there are more Halloween decorations than in the other parts of town.

Why is Halloween a white trash holiday?...I know, I know....going door to door asking for free handouts.

The sad reality is that we live in a pop culture that is obsessed with trying to make our boys and girls think about sex all the time.

Of course. The more vapid the population, the easier it is to manipulate. In the words of Aldous Huxley: "Ogry-Porgy."

Getting them hooked on drugs also makes them compliant -- "Better a gram than a damn."

I had the misfortune of being in charge of a company function involving wearing Halloween costumes. My biggest challenge wsa tactfully explaining to SEVERAL female employees that the custumes they had selected were inappropriiate. To me, Halloween costumes are supposed to be scary, not provocative.

Glad I have a boy. I’d rip my hair out if I had a daughter.

Somehow I don’t see an issue here. 8^P

My only problem is that we are rural and do not get any trick or treaters.

"...likely to be wearing trampy costumes that say “s-e-x,” rather than “trick or treat.”

I wasn't aware there was a difference....

Couldn’t the girls just dress as Muslims and wear burkas - or would that offend someone.

My daughters decided (on their own, even) to go as Bat Girl, Super Girl and Ironette (female Iron Man).

They’re all under 8, so I figure that’s safe.

However, we’re not going door to door, we’re going to the church for a Fall Festival, complete with worship music, and lots of candy.
