Because She Has The Rest Of Her Life To Dress Slutty

Lael has had her share of Halloween costumes. Being born on Oct 29th, she came home from the hospital on her very first Halloween.

At 1 she dressed up as the cutest Ladybug evah. At 2 she went as the one and only Cinderella. 3 was the year of Arielle the Mermaid. At 4 she chose to be Jasmine from Aladdin and last year was the year of the Cheerleader.

I am such a procrastinator. I always wait right before October is staring me in the face to realize she hasn't found her costume for the year.

The thing is I have been appalled by the costumes I have seen out there for the little girls. The toddler costumes are still as adorable as ever but my oh my what have we done with the innocent girl ensembles?

Here are some of the skankiest I've found so far.

The Mermaid: Complete with her shell covered boob and form fitting dress.



The Diva: Should my child really have that much stomach exposed?


The Pirate: I think this picture says it all.


The HOT Rocker:  She will wear nothing that has HOT in the description. Thankyouverymuch.



The Ladybug: I think some of the skirt is missing. And what the hell is up with that slutty choker?


Don't let me stop you from running out and grabbing any of the above costumes for your child.  To each it's own.  I'm just not ready for that yet.

  4. Not only totally slutty... totally overpriced I'm sure. I love (hate) the 50$ price tag on hootchie costumes.

  5. Crazy right?! When I went to find something for H I had the same problem. I really don't need my 7 year old looking like a street walker. Nope, no thanks.

  10. we plan on going the home-made costume route as long as possible. What we want most for the Peanut is that she grow up knowing that beauty is not directly related to how skimpy her clothes are.
