McSluts

When I was a kid Halloween was a holiday where kids went house to house collecting booty for their subsequent candy induced comas. Now Halloween seems to have become the holiday when teenage and adult girls show their booties?

The slutty Halloween costume has become so popular in fact that many costume outlets actually market their adult lines of costumes as "slutty Halloween costumes."

I remember the thrill of getting into the character of one of the members of Kiss or Darth Vador or a scary bloody monster. The dressing up was cool but playing the character was even cooler. It was a chance to step out of your normal everyday skin and play the role of a person or character that you dreamed of being and couldn't be for one reason or another.

If this is still the fun of Halloween then we apparently have many females in our society who, for whatever reason, spend much of the year dreaming of being slutty and finally, when given the chance on Halloween, they make their dreams come true.

Seriously though, I don't really believe this to be the case. I think it is more a lack of creativity and taking the easy route to getting attention. It takes some skill to come up with a good costume and even more to play a convincing role in that costume for an evening. Done well, it will garner the costumed individual adornment and attention. Rather than work at the success of a really creative costume, it is easier for many females to garner the same adornment and attention via a push-up bra and short skirt. An additional benefit for the slutty costumed female is that all this attention comes from a slobbering, one track minded opposite sex.

In and of itself I like the slutty costume every once in a while as does any red-blooded heterosexual male. It has just become so commonplace and predictable that it has lost its luster. Every year Athens, our home town, hosts one of the largest Halloween parties in the country. Imagine yourself living in a place that is besieged by thousands of slutty-Mcslut-sluts every year. A man can go from mild excitement to discomfort to soreness on the back of the neck from repeated smacks from his wife for wandering eyes. Finally you just wish to never see another slutty cop, nurse or referee again.

Worse yet, I have two daughters. The thought of them slutting up for a Halloween in the future leaves me wanting to cry.
