Wholesome DIY costumes for empowered girls
Personal blog ^ | October 28, 2015 | Jaye Ryan

NOTE: An Alternative to the Sexy and Demonic costumes!

At Halloween-time girls want to have fun and express themselves with costumes that reflect their personal energy. Most store-bought costumes for tween and teen girls exhibit T&A, rather than clever personal expression. You may have read about or maybe seen a “Sexy Cop”, or a witch dress with thigh high garters and 4” pumps. These manufactured costumes cannot help a young woman shine as an individual.

Complete list of wholesome and empowering girl costumes is HERE

T&A is empowerment. I wish I had something I could wiggle and cause 50% of the human race to just stop thinking for a few seconds. ;-)

How about just not participating in a satanic celebration.

>>At the end of the day, any costume that your daughter creates and is comfortable wearing is a good one for her. Don’t let a shabby store costume dampen her self esteem. Let her self esteem blossom through creative expression in a costume she creates.<<

Self esteem is all Millenials think about.

Self-WORTH is foreign to them.

Just dress like sluts and “hook up” as you always do. Sex occupies the same level of importance as food for this generation.

Halloween is NOT satanic.

Do the research.

This blogger says she’s a proponent of ‘empowering girls’ and then uses a term like T & A.

Feminists don’t realize how aligned they are with misogynists.

They don’t see how they enable anti feminine culture. They think birth control and abortion are good for females. They are good only for males who want to remain boys their whole lives.

"sexy and demonic costumes"

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean like this?

empowered girls
non-empowered girls
non-empowered boys

I long for the good old days when it was children, or even boys and girls...

OK.

But that still leaves what to dress up as for Halloween.

That doesn’t even work on all women. But a nice rack will stop any male from 3 to 103 in his tracks.

True story:

I had just moved into a sub division south of Fort Worth. Halloween about 8PM this girl shows up in a “costume”. I cannot figure out what it was....short skirt tight shirt and a lot of make up so dumb me I asked, what are you supposed to be. She says a street walker! After gasping a tad, I said stay on the stoop and I will go get your candy treat. I was shocked some “parent” let this girl, about 15, out at night by herself dressed like a whore. And we wonder why the country is headed down the tubes.

We always made our own costumes when I was a kid, and I made them for my kids when they were growing up. One of the best ones my son thought up was an old plaid shirt, pants and jacket with the pockets turned inside out, and a “What Me Worry?” rubber mask from the Party store. He had a sign on his back that said “Chrysler Executive”. It was during the 70s when Chrysler was facing bankrupcy. He won first prize at the skating rink with that one.

My daughters were witches with taffeta gowns made out of one of my old cocktail dresses from college, Betsy Ross one year, Indian maidens and Geisha girls other years, etc.

One of the best costumes I remember when I was a kid was a person — rather tall and skinny — who showed up at a Jr. High dance in a long, slim black dress and a rubber mask and wild wig of an old crone. This individual had a crooked walking stick and slipped into the party all hunched over. Nobody knew who it was until the unmasking. It turned out to be a male classmate in his mother’s dress. Nobody had guessed. He won first prize.

Then you will be as amazed as was I ti learn that MANY of today’s 20somethings find a rack of some size to be utterly repulsive. I have seen lots of posts in the last few yers refering to Maralyn Monroe as a ‘fat cow’, read that the ideal female form resembles an adolescent boy...and you can guess who is pushing that meme.

The problem is most today actually agree. Yes, the straight ones. My daughter, 25, says she hears it all the time in her age group. Young guys prefer minimally endowded hyperathletic types to 50’s pinup types.

Personally I think most are closet cases.

Yeah, every little girl wants to dress up as a Supreme Court justice.

What’s an “empowered” girl, anyway? Can’t be anything too great, because someone had to give her that power.
