Sometimes a tweet just isn’t enough. I sent a tweet out on my best friend Twitter this afternoon that said this:
Wondering when Halloween went from scary costumes to looking like your pimping out your 9 year old? Kid sizes are just as whorey as adults!
I tried to leave it at that and sometimes I just can’t do it. This is one of those times. I was online today looking at Halloween costume ideas and came across this website www.purecostumes.com. On the very first page I saw these costumes listed as “Tween” sized. A “tween” for those not in the know, are kids between the ages of 11-13 and are considered barely teenagers.
As the mother of a nearly 15 year old girl I can tell you that these costumes left me slack-jawed and completely appalled. What is going on in the world today if you can make your daughter look like Vegas prostitute for the low, low price of $29.95? Someone – and I’m assuming an adult – is purchasing these items for these girls and it sickens me.
Halloween is now taking the phrase TRICK or TREAT to a whole new meaning. These girls are seriously looking like “treats” used to entice “tricks.” It’s a sorry state of affairs when you send your kid out on Halloween and she looks like she’s going to work… and not at Denny’s people… the oldest profession kind of work and it is not adorable.
These days kids are doing everything earlier. From needing bras and wearing makeup to having boyfriends and experimenting with sex everything just seems so much earlier. In no time they will have jobs, bills, families, and debt. Let’s keep them kids for as long as we can.
I say we 86 the hooker costumes and go back to when Halloween costumes were more scary and less slutty.
