What the heck happened to Halloween costumes?

For the last 2 years I have been pregnant for Halloween – so I made my own little ideas. The first year, I took a white fitted t-shirt, spray painted little black spots all over, left a open space for an “udder” (a blown up hospital glove) and wore black pants with pigtails. I was a cow – with a huge belly. This year I was all psyched about Halloween – the little ones are both going to be Superman … they look adorable so I wanted to dress up with them.

I got to the store and saw Hooker costumes. I swear, like these outfits are for freaking strippers on stage or something. I’m sorry, I’m not going to walk around on Halloween night (kinda cold) with my boobs about to burst out of my shirt and half of my ass hanging out my bottoms!!! Not cool … anyone know where to get a decent Halloween costume? I’m getting frustrated!

    I have always made my own because the ones at walmart are made for someone that wears a size 2 & is only 5ft tall. Costume shops are high…..but carry better sizes and options. >good luck!

    I agree! The ones at Wal-Mart are totally inappropriate, unless you’re a stripper! You could try a local costume shop, but probably better off making your own costume.

    I have seen whitches, fairies, Little Bo Peep and more that I thought was cute.You can always wrap up in a white sheet and be a ghost. Good luck and have a great Halloween with the little ones.

    I dress as a clown each year and entertain the children. I think I have more fun than anyone. It doesn’t matter what you dress as, just have fun with the kids!

    I say go for the old standard, a hobo. Burn a cork from a wine bottle and rub on your face, tie your hair back and wear men’s old clothes. Grab a stick with a handkerchief (red paisley)tied to it. Boom! You’re a hobo LOL It’s a lot better than a hooker. To think people actually buy that stuff and parade around in front of there kids. Great message that is! Michael
