Halloween or Whoreloween?

Has anyone noticed that Halloween has just become an excuse for people to dress up like prostitutes? Somehow every costume has become a prostitute costume. There are nurse prostitutes, witch prostitutes, cat prostitutes, fairy prostitutes, even Disney character prostitutes. It seems that in the good old days, the objective of Halloween was to look ugly. When did we lose this essential discipline?

The whole thing was LOST when the days of "innocence" past...i.e., kids couldn't go out ALONE without their weird parents and just be kids LOST on the town having a fabulous frightful night. It's all simply a staged show now and parents want to be the center of attention. I'm with you!

****How are you liking Guernsey Potato Peel Society? WE BOTH loved it.

Well I fell into the Disney prostitue costume as Tinker Bell. As I read your blog I began to think that I fell into this by turning 36 years old, having three kids 7 years and younger, and having a general midlife crisis. So... what the hell dress like a Tinker Bell Prostitue.
