The Scariest Part of Halloween
The two most frightening words in the english language: costume party.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Late October. Time to shop for a Halloween costume. Sigh.
For women, this holiday is an annual struggle. Searching for a costume is a nightmare. Unless of course you are looking to be a sexy cat, a sexy nurse, a sexy nun…seriously? Every year I wonder when women are going to revolt. I can only imagine the entire industry is geared toward serving college co-eds. Adult women cannot dress like this.
I have returned more costumes than I care to count. Even if they look somewhat tasteful online, the package arrives and I try to wiggle into the cheap skin-tight material. Invariably, it either doesn’t cover my ass, has a slit way to high or is cut way too low. And I am never shopping in the “sexy” costume section. Never.
Does anyone remember when Subway graced us with this gem of an ad?
Better get in shape for Halloween costume season. It’s time to lose weight so you can squeeze…
