Sexy Halloween Costumes*

Some of my friends joke about the fact that women Halloween costumes generally follow "sexy" theme.  Last year a lovely lady I know dressed as a "sexy" banana.  The phenomena was even reported on a couple of years ago in a hilarious article my the Mercury newspaper.
Now I thought this was a recent construct of the "sexy" costume, however, I came upon this image while Googling vintage Halloween costumes that is titled:  1947 Halloween Costume Contest...so I guess women have been trying to be "sexy" "scary" for a long time now.  It shouldn't surprise me.

Halloween Costumes*

As you can probably tell from some of my previous posts, I love costumes.  So I collect Halloween items all year long because it's one of my favorite holiday.
I brought in all of my costumes today, and boy is my space overflowing with costumes, wigs, hats, boas.  Please come and check it out!  There may be something perfect for you.
The day-glo Aladdin outfit was definitely handmade. I love it because we had tons of homemade costumes around when I was growing up due to the fact my mom owned a dance studio and therefore needed a lot of costumes, which my Grandmother made for her.  There was even a day-glo yellow flapper dress, which I still own today.
Not sure about the USA athletic uniform, but I imagine it was make for a great costume!
Yes, I have three ice skating outfits and a fancy glittery leotard!
