Halloween (rant)

wow i greatly dislike people.  Seriously Halloween is not the day when one gets to dress as a mega hoe.  I get that you're going for the whole scary factor...believe me,  i'm very frightened, but is it really worth it showing off the complete bottom half of you're butt and about nine inches down into you're cleavage and ending up with a cold because oh hum its freakin' 40 degrees out?!  Halloween is not about looking "sexy" (i use this term very loosely as none of the people attempting this look seem to be achieving it.)  This is very depressing to me.

i am all for guising on Halloween and having a good. but sometimes i do feel that some of the traditions of Halloween have been left behind.  Today's society has changed what the typical costume is assumed to be.  Traditionally, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils were the costumes of choice.  These costumes later varied into generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses as well as celebrities and fictional characters from movies and books.  Now, we have "sexy" devils, witches, police officers, fire women, nurses, ninjas etc.
what ever happened to a plain devil costume? or a plain witch costume?  walking down the aisles in Walmart to find a costume now becomes a tedious work because every costume is made with about 2 yards of fabric.


maybe its just me but i prefer traditional costumes over the cheesy, or slutty costumes of today.  I prefer the accurate portrayals over the stereotypical messes that now plague the stores shelves.
