what the f happened to halloween

a pumpkin. a witch. nancy drew. a flapper girl. tinkerbell. those were my halloween costumes growing up. dressing up as a flapper may seem a little off, but i assure you, my costume was extremely conservative.

but these days all these little ones are trading their fairy wands for fishnets.

from the washington post:

Gabby Cirenza wanted to be a referee for Halloween. The outfit she liked had a micro-mini black skirt and a form-fitting black and white-striped spandex top held together with black laces running up the flesh-exposing sides. She looked admiringly at the thigh-high black go-go boots that could be bought as an accessory. And she thought the little bunny on the chest was cute.

"Absolutely not," said her mother, Cheryl. "That is so not happening."
