My daughter is being a schoolgirl witch...It was the only costume we could find in her size that wasn't X-rated. Whats up with that? Why are little girls costumes so revealing? I felt icky while we were shopping! I'm not sure what I'm going to be yet. I'm usually a black widow, but I'm getting bored with that. Maybe I'll be a fairy or something.

What are you dressing up as? How about your kids?

    I'm not dressing up, but my 6 month-old daughter is going to to be a flower (think Anne Geddes). This is my first Halloween as a mom and my daughter's first ever (obviously), and I am SO excited (probably more so than her). LOL!

    I also don't understand why little girls' costumes are so provocative. It's quited disturbing.

    I totally hear you on those Halloween costumes! Have you ever seen the movies "mean girls"? There's a line it that says (about) "Halloween is the one time girls can wear no clothes and get away with it" - and its totally true! Last year I saw one girl dressed only in a bra and underwear- made entirely out of caution tape. Very classy:grumble: .

    But, I am going to be Hermione Granger (from Harry Potter) and I'm super excited!:bigsmile:

    Last year I was The Burger King, with creepy mask and all. I actually went to burger king that day (which I actually don't even like very much, but i HAD to) and the girls behind the counter were like "The king is here!!!" It was good times. :happy:

    I am going to be a vampire, but I got a really cool vampire queen dress, so i'm very excited. My boyfriend is going to be a murderous butcher. No kids....but I would dress up my cat if he would let me, but that's not going to happen.

    I'm going to be Marie Curie...cause I'm a nerd. :tongue: I have a modest black dress, which unfortunately does show my ankles (hers wouldn't have) but I'm wearing black tights and heels. Then a lab coat, and my scholarship medallion ('Nobel Prize' although she won 2!), and I'm going to carry around a beaker full of flourescent green water (water + green highlighter). I found some awesome makeup ideas to turn myself a sort of pretty green. Hopefully people actually get it!

    Don't be. A good laugh is always welcome, even if it's a bit messy. :laugh:

    Funny you should mention high school because I teach at one, and we had a girl (about 15 or 16) come in as a french maid this morning, fishnets and all. I almost died. :noway: And I am not prudish at all if that tells you anything. I wonder if her parents even knew she left the house like that.

    Can't judge you . . . you are actually an adult so you can wear things like that. Have fun!!!
