Haloween Costumes: Sexy or Scary?

Halloween is coming up. Which means little kids running down the street looking for candy, Spirit stores are cropping up everywhere and girls of every shape and size showing up to parties in essentially their underwear.
It is the one time of year where it is acceptable for these girls to show up in stripper attire to any party or even walking down the street. Leah Taylor, a student here, said, “
So what costumes can you expect from these girls? With almost no movies with outlandish costumes, it's kind of up in the air. According to Pamela Stompoly of The Costume Shop in North Park, “People are going to be creative this year. It's all very random.”
For the girls, we might see a few Neytiris from Avatar or Alices from Alice in Wonderland. For the most part, it seems it will be a slew of the generic costumes. You can expect to see scantily clad angels, devils, cops, girl scouts, maids, nurses, cats … any noun you can really apply works.
Some of the more strange new “sexy” costumes to pop up this year are Capatain America, Optimus Prime, and the Cookie Monster.
Stompoly says to expect plenty of burlesque inspired costumes.
For the men, Stompoly has gotten requests for an Aztec warrior and a few Johnny Depp style Mad Hatter costumes. “All guys like to be Spartan warriors or pharaohs,” says Stompoly.
The Costume Shop also specializes in make-up. The costume Stompoly is most prepared for is the zombie. “About two weeks before Halloween, people will come rushing in for zombie make-up.”
Another strangely common request she gets is “smurf make-up.”
For the most part though, this Halloween looks to be a great one for Leg Avenue (the leading company in sexy costumes). So keep your eyes peeled for the more creative of the “sexy” costumes. Who knows, maybe you'll see a “sexy” pumpkin.
