Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 27, 2012

The wife of a cousin of mine posted on Facebook one day a cartoon where a little girl is shockingly dumbfounded by all the sexy for-girls Halloween costumes: vampire, witch, fairy, etc., etc., etc.

Alix is not idiot! She knows she can get her sister in trouble!

Go for the witch outfit, it is much more fitting.

I was a (traditional) nun last year, including three wooden rulers tied to my waist: I used to teach in a couple of Catholic elementary schools before they were shuttered by the diocese. Sadly, no parties that do not conflict with my work schedule this year, so zombie nun will have to wait until next, and will prolly be passé. Bummer.

Yep. Sexy nun, sexy this, sexy that, sexy-the-other-thing.And in the store where I work, teen-age girls are trying them on by the dozen.

Sounds like your idea of for a costume has become habit forming (re:emjaycee)

That’s fine for someone 18 or so, but how old is Holly suppose to be? Let’s hope her mom can reign her in a bit.

Had to get Halloween costumes for the ten- and twelve-year-old granddaughters yesterday. Something in this or another strip made me think of a thrift store, so I took the girls to a nearby St. Vincent de Paul store. The older one wound up with a half angel/half devil outfit. The top was a lovely diaphonous white with fluffy trim, and the bottom was a jaggedy-hem red skirt with attachable red pointy tail. Wings = one white, one red. Found a nice short-sleeved sweater to keep the top from looking too “sexy.” The younger one was Death, with a hood and thick black netting to cover her face. The costume was black and jaggedy purple. The total bill was about $8.50, and there was a good selection of outfits. I’m now a convert to thrift-store Halloweenin’.

Aw so close.

I like Alix’s costume idea, it reminds me of the dog costume I wore three years ago, and I still have it.

I mind. 17yo and up (should show some skin, if they look good), but much younger are really to young to do so, even if sexually active. They can look good without looking like tramps.

maybe she is married beacuse she want sexy :)))

hello all I do get slight chance to read SS just not comment. On-line studies keep me busy. We here are done dressing up for Halloween costumns.On behalf of my son’s birthday today enjoy.

Ok, Alix looks adorable in that costume!!!

Sixties were kind of sexy, what with all those miniskirts and go-go boots.

“Vamp” was a popular word in the 1920s, not the ’60s.
