Now here is a suitable costume for young adulterous whores!

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."

I think you're on to something. Female Freepers can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the more male behavior becomes constrained (by things like sexual harassment laws and more restrictive social norms), the more women want dress and act more provocatively, to provoke the reaction they want from men.
That's why I missed the mark. I was trying to say something like that!
Oh get off it man. Halloween celebrates candy.
That sure sounds like celebrating Halloween to me. Why not just relax, enjoy it, and forget about the dark origins, which is irrelevant since most of us are in it for the candy.

I’ll take it another step further and suggest it borders on perversion. I pity these children being subjugated to the thrills and ignorance of adults. Where are they are grand parents? Do they condone this type of undress too?
And he never asked for his feet to be washed with fine perfume either. But someone who loved Him did it.
When you love someone, you do things for that person without even being asked.
Ha! That is all it ever meant to me. It was free candy. Of course when my kids went trick or treating it still meant candy. "Mom, dad ate my candy."
Sheeessh, I was trying to forget that one. That charge land me in the dog-house for a while with both of them.
At least they could have picked the right day.
LOL! To my knowledge, that tune didn’t even have words until after the Reformation.
No one in our family worships Lucifer. We worship One Lord. I don’t even really care when or where Halloween originated because at the end of the evening we’re too busy praising our children for the great manners they’d displayed; how they shared what they received and how much fun we had! And as we inspect and pour through their bags of candy, we debrief with the kids just like we do every evening in our home. And we *laugh* and talk about what great costumes we saw, who dressed like this or that, etc. It’s all about families having fun and being silly one night a year and still coming home knowing there is One Lord for our house.
So in your face, Devil. This family refuses to sit home and hand this day over to the evil one; nor will we provide him with any satisfaction. Maybe staking claim to something once owned by the devil and turning it into something joyful and fun is something to consider — instead of turning your lights out and sitting in the dark.
That's what we use Purim for...it's a holiday that is actually in the Bible.
I disagree. Shame is a good motivator.
True, the parents are buying these ridiculous costumes, but the children are the ones coveting them. Both parties bear equal guilt. By the time the child is in their ‘tweens, they are smart enough to know better. They just don’t care.
I reject Satan and therefore I will stand in his way of ruining a day of fellowship, fun, dressing up and candy. I will not cower to this cr@*.
So if America decided by majority vote to change “Halloween” (just for clarity — the fun & innocent one) to say the 29th, would that be okay with you? Just wondering.
Halloween is part of pagan worship. It was one of the days the pagans would worship their gods. You can't make bad fruit good again. Sugar coating halloween (literally or figuratively) doensn't change what it is. The fact that people don't burn their children in bonfires in the 21st century doesn't change the pagan/satanic core of this holiday and it's not a good witness to kowtow to it just for the sake of some free candy.
Interesting thread. Thanks for the ping.
“It was about being able to come up with a costume and make it somehow with Mom’s help and whatever we had around the house, walking the streets at night (not *that* kind of streetwalking, lol) which was always a treat with Mom and Dad and getting some candy, only a small part of which we even ate. It was *having* it that was the fun part, and spending a night doing something unusual en famille.”
Absolutely. I was in my thirties before I found out people thought of Halloween as anything other than costumes and trick or treating. People can and will find evil in anything. One of my daughters friends gave her a Christmas gift one year but told her not to take the stickers off the gift wrap, there were devil symbols on the paper, upside down crosses. After the kid left, I peeled the stickers off to see what she was talking about and it was peace symbols. Now, if you can find evil in a peace symbol, you can find evil in anything.
Wow, the voice of reason. Excellent post.
