Skanks + Candy = Best holiday ever

I remember way back in the day when it was cool to be your favorite T.V. show character for Halloween. As a kid my costumes ranged from, the red power ranger, to one of the ninja turtles, to a very large cow. As time grew on I realized that for guys the only good costumes were the ones that were funny or the ones that were really masculine. The guy ones that I have seen so far range from a giant penis, where the testicles are his foot to the always masculine 300 soldier. The costumes of the girls changed drastically as they grew older. In their early years the girls were he princess, Tinkerbelle and little M&M’s, but as the times changed and the society around them changed, it was more acceptable for the women to wear practically nothing for Halloween. I believe it all started in the 90’s as sex became a big thing to talk about. The 90’s were a time where sex was in mot parts of the media mainly in music. These were the years of the provocative Madonna, the cute Brittney Spears and the ever so popular Spice Girls. Many young women idealized these girls, most probably wanted the same reaction from men that those women got; and Halloween gave them an excuse to do it without being called a slut. From the various female artists running around on T.V. with their skimpy clothing to the men who objectify them in music videos; the girls are sent a message that if you show skin a look sexy in any outfit, the guys will be surrounding you. Its not necessarily the “bad girls” who do it, the “good girls” do it also; it has become so accepted that to some people don’t even consider it a big deal anymore.
