Holy sluts on Halloween, Batman! (thanks Megan!)
Okay, so, this post will have a sort of... "Mean Girls" theme to it. You'll understand shortly.
Now, I know Halloween does not in any way mean or represent what it has in the past, as a Pagan holiday. But I also appreciate the joy of getting dressed up and going door-to-door for candy. It's fun. But it sure has lost its charm!!!
When did Halloween become a time for girls to take off their clothes and wear the least amount of material, in a sad attempt to pass it off as a "costume"???
We had our 200 Nights party last night, the Halloween party, and can I just say, I have never seen SOOOO many half-naked women in my life outside of the beach and my suite when there are no men in it...
Now, I love my gender. Don't get me wrong. But Halloween (nowadays) is supposed to be a time to be scary. That's why they play scary movies on tv!! That's why people decorate with skeletons and ghosts and spiders and the like!! It is not traditionally a time when they show porn on TV and advertise decorations with half-naked women.
Girls, please. Why you gotta put the goodies out there like that? If a guy thinks you're sexy, you don't need to put it all out there. Leave something to the imagination, please.
In the New World order that Kelly and I will eventually create, Halloween will be a time to be scary, creative, funny, etc, but NOT to be slutty. Unless, of course it's in an ironic or funny way. If you're usually demure or introverted and you dress like a $2 hooker, that's funny and unexpected. Or if you dress up like a pin-up model or a character that wears next-to-nothing, as long as you're true to the character, that's okay too. Do NOT put on black booty shorts and a teeny blue shirt with cleavage, whip out some handcuffs, and call yourself a cop. As Marlen says, get a realistic uniform and scare the shit out of underaged drinkers. :-D
I saw girls last night that made me sad. Seriously. It really upsets me that girls use Halloween as an excuse to dress, well, slutty. I don't like to use the term, but dressing up like a beer can by wrapping yourself in ductape with your cheeks and chest hanging out is not creative or endearing. You just make yourself look cheap, and it gives a bad impression.
For the record, I scared the shit out of people. :-D I had prosthetics that made me look something like a Vampire from Buffy, only scarier. :-) I wore an old dress that I actually wore the last time I dressed as a Vampire. I think I was twelve. I looked SCARY. Pictures will come! Peter looked amazing too. He had demon prosthetics and painted his face reddish-brown, so he looked devilish. The prosthetics and makeup looked sooo cool on him; I loved it.
So, I didn't get drunk, and I realize that those parties are only fun when you're drunk. :-) There were waaay too many people there, and there was no room to dance. Have to say that I'm glad I missed the finger-fucking on the dance floor as well. So Peter and I went for a while, mostly to see people's costumes. OH and I think the highlight of the evening was the person who tried to walk through glass-- and succeeded. By succeeded, I mean they managed to burst right through the glass and shatter it everywhere. Idiot.
Okay, off to Peter's room. Goodnight room.
