Sexy women’s costumes are always a big hit at parties, but at what age do we allow our daughters to start looking sexy? 18? 16? 8?!!
I ran across this article on the old Feminist Law Professors site, that has some pretty disturbing images. Costumes with names like “Miss Behaved” and “Major Flirt” can only encourage young girls to develop inappropriate self images.

“I Love Pink Charmed Witch”

“I Love Pink Charmed Witch”

Yes, the article is a little old. but these costumes, and worse, are still for sale; and the girls modeling them are clearly under 10 years old.

Am I right here? Or am I just turning into a cranky old fart who is out of touch with the real world?

Jason Voorhees  from the Friday the 13th movies is another perenial Halloween favorite that can be transformed into a group costume.

One way is to have someone dress as Jason, and several victims for him to chase, maybe a few that he has already caught.

One of the continuing themes of the later movies is that someone is emulating Jason and copying his methods. Step this one up a little and get everyone into a group with hockey masks and machetes, but make it obvious that you are together and not actually Jason himself. You all wear WWJD t-shirts!

No, not what “would Jesus do”, but “what would Jason do?”

You’ll be a very striking group walking down the street, maybe even have some pamphlets to hand out evangelist style.

“Have you talked to God today? Jason could help you see Him sooner.”

Inappropriate? Hey, it’s Halloween! All the best costume ideas push a few buttons.

You could even combine these, mix and match, have fun! A set of Jason acolytes chasing randy camp counselors! Splash a bit of blod around for good effect.
Stay tuned for more group costume ideas.
