What’s Wrong With Dressing Slutty On Halloween?

Emily McCombsOctober 25, 2010 //

Yes, we’ve all heard that “Mean Girls” quote about how Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut. And I’ll admit that the “sexy costume” craze has led to some weird combinations, like Sexy Chewbacca and Sexy Skunk. But every year, in the weeks leading up to our scariest holiday, the slut-shaming rises to a dull roar, and everybody starts saying things like, “When did Halloween become an excuse to dress up like a slut?”

The answer is ALWAYS. When I was in 6th grade, I begged my mother to let me dress up as a hooker, because Halloween has always been about dressing up like a slut. And you know why? Because it’s fun! Keep reading »

And These Are Urban Outfitters’ “Halloween Costumes”

Leonora EpsteinOctober 15, 2010 //

This Halloween season, American Apparel introduced its “Costume Builder,” which we found out was really just a way to pass off clothes you already wear as a “costume.” Turns out, Urban Outfitters has also launched a halloween shop on its website, and although the offerings are slightly more holiday-appropriate, it’s still a bizarre mix of items.

As far as apparel goes, products seem to fall into three categories: Keep reading »

How A Makeup Artist Turned A Naked Kim Kardashian Silver

Susannah BreslinOctober 14, 2010 //

It didn’t occur to me until I saw this article on how makeup artist Gucci Westman (um, seriously?) turned a naked Kim Kardashian silver that the bravest among us females may be rocking this look come Halloween. So, how’d they turn Kim into the platinum version of Goldfinger? “I wanted it to look like Kim was dipped in silver, like she was liquid,” the artist said of her shellacking plan. All it took was some Kryolan Aquacolor silver body paint, Make Up For Ever silver powder, and a tablespoon of pigment in the Kryolan. Don’t have any of those ingredients handy? You can find them at Make Up For Ever. Of course, if you’re planning on leaving the house, you might also want to don a silver thong or panties and a silver bra or pasties. Boobs and booty not included. [W]

These Are American Apparel’s “Halloween Costumes”

Leonora EpsteinOctober 13, 2010 //

We understand that since American Apparel is having financial troubles, the company might try to get creative with its ways to push merchandise. A product of this is perhaps the Costume Builder you’ll now find online. Except … it would appear that American Apparel’s idea of a “Halloween costume” is shockingly similar to the outfits the retailer normally peddles (which, to some, may indeed be quite scary). Above, you’ll find costumes for a “Disco Chick,” an “Archaeologist,” and a “Slumber Party” (which apparently can be manifested as a person wearing a scrunchy). To be fair, some of the other styling suggestions are a bit more traditional, like the hula girl, bumble bee, and pirate. So it might not actually be such a bad idea if you’re in need of a last-minute or easy costume and want to be able to wear it again–unless you cut it up like a lot of the themes encourage.

Or you could just go as an American Apparel employee. [American Apparel] Keep reading »

Rachael Ray As Jessica Rabbit

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 8, 2010 //

One of the costumes I was considering this Halloween: Jessica Rabbit. Too bad Rachael Ray beat me to it, dressing as the sexy lounge singer from the classic “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” while her hubby dressed as Roger. They donned the costumes for Rachael’s Halloween special, which will be shot and aired in 3-D. What do you think—is this look cute, or will it make little kids run and scream?
