Oh The Horror

“Short skirt, not a surprise.  Couldn’t find a way to work the go-go boots into this one?” -elaney’s 10th grade history teacher, to elaney circa 1999

Perhaps it’s still the “haunting” memory of the high school humiliation, but we have a huge problem with girls that use Halloween as an opportunity to dress like trash.  If you want to show your skin, fine.  We get the temptation to shorten the skirt every now and then (see above).  But what makes it annoying is pretending like you don’t know what you’re doing.  Halloween does not give you license to dress like a Playboy bunny.  It just doesn’t.  If you want to do it, be our guest.  But just don’t let us overhear you in the back room saying something like “omg why are so many guys starting at me tonight?!”  If you do it, you have to own it.  Now, go forth and prosper (preferably covered).
