Halloween has become the time of year where women have free reign to dress as slutty as they want and get away with it. As much as my strong feminist side loathes this, I feel I can’t get up on my soapbox regarding this topic because when I was 26 I was a sexy “dark angel,” complete with black fishnets, a velvet blood red skirt, and thick, smokey eyeliner. I remember I was 26 because it’s the year I met Mr. BFT. Perhaps I was trying my best to attract him (and maybe it worked). Anyway, it’s not exactly the Halloween costume I’m most proud of (that would be Halloween 2000 when I put together a Misty from Pokemon outfit completely from the thrift shop except for my plush Togepi that I purchased online from Japan for nearly a week’s pay at the time. Worth it).
So even though I roll my eyes and shake my head at the sexification of Halloween, I just can’t help but laugh at the rediculousness of some of the Halloween costumes that are out there. Some costume companies get mighty creative, especially with the “Disney” knockoff costumes. One of my friends on Facebook posted a sexy “Disney” costume that really threw me for a loop with it’s attempt to make something TOTALLY unsexy, sexy. It gave me the idea to put together a round up of just a few of the sexy “Disney” costumes you can choose from this year – from the expected, to the slightly weird, to the completely and utterly redonkulous.
Most of the costumes I found are somewhat typical. There are your sexy Snow Whites, your sexy Tinkerbells, and even your sexy Minnies MICKEY(???? That’s a little strange!).
Sexy Cheshire Cat gets a free pass, too.
HAHAHAHA this was an awesome post, Mindy!! I LOL’d so much! Great finds! That Daisy mask is super creepy. “Mike” and “Sully” aren’t even sexy, they’re just BIZARRE. The Ursula dress is kind of cute, but sexy and Ursula just do NOT go together. Definitely sexy Nemo FTW though.
Oh man, that last costume is super offensive!
I know, I went back and forth about even posting it. But I think it’s so funny (sad?) that THAT was the result when I searched “Chinese costume.”
Don’t forget about Sexy Alice and Sexy Peter Pan!
Found your sexy mulan. I’m having issues with my phone right now so I can’t copy and paste the link, but if you go to (or dare to go to…) 3wishes.com you can find it by searching China Doll.
Oh gosh … I’m slightly frightened to look.
Ok so I can’t say anything bad, 2 years ago I was a sexy Minnie, but I didn’t buy a pre made costume, I put it together myself modeled after the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse outfit, pink with white polka dots, And it was at a friend’s Halloween party where every girl and I mean EVERY GIRL was dressed as a sexy something. But some of these are crazy, the animal ones are just creepy.
Haha, I agree … animals just shouldn’t be sexy.
I bought my friend the sexy Nemo costume in college a few years ago and it was actually really cute (Nemo is her fav).
hahahahahahaha the Mike W costume is redic! Why would you put the eyeballs akwardly on the clevage? And whats with the ugly purple fur? Not very Sully.
I also think the sexy Minnies arent too terrible…although I hate the one you have pictured. Tinkerbelle is a gimmie, especially when she is a very sexified character to begin with. I thought about being Poo and thought the costume and hoodie was cute. But I’m not a “sexy Disney” fan really.
I really am not a fan of the sexified halloween costumes, expecially the princesses! Man they look terrrible. I seriosuly can’t stand sexy princesses haha. The worst is the corsette and tutty look! One of my friend wore a yellow corsette and tuttu and claimed to be Belle! Urg.
I like original costumes personally. I did fall into the “sexy costume” trap in college…just never Disney. That is a little sacred and childlike to me to actually wear any of it.
Oooh no Becca, you’re the reason why they keep making sexy Nemo costumes, hahahaahahah!
Omg omg can i buy just the fortune cookie hat?!
:-/
Wow. Just wow. I fear for what my 8 year old is going to want to leave the house in as she gets older. As for this year, I made her an awesome Kevin the Snipe costume.
“No slutty costumes until you’re at least 30!”
Wow. Just wow. Some of these are crazy!!! But this was certainly an entertaining post! I’m just gonna go as a bumble bee this year…my trusted old steady.
But is it a sexy bumble bee? 😮
Hey everyone, I went back and checked and turns out that’s Sexy MICKEY, not Minnie – hence the shorts. But I was confused because he/she has BOWS?!?!?! This holiday is WEIRD.
HAHAHA! Oh my! The Monster’s Ink Costumes are the worst! Here’s a Mulan Costume I just found on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/8phwoml
Wellllllll, I know it has Mulan in the title, but it’s really just a kimono, haha
I think it’s feminist to embrace and celebrate your sexuality. I can’t even say that it’s anti-feminist to do that for a man because that’s part – a really fun part – of human nature. No woman need ever apologize or make excuses for having fun dressing sexy.
That being said, these costumes are totally hilarious, and I’m not quite sure why Captain Hook left home without his pants?
I agree with you and will add, maybe Capt. Hook forgot his pants because he couldn’t put them on with his hook? 😉
That’s the CRAZY thing about feminism, is the interpretation can be so different from one person to the next. To me feminism is standing up for male/female equality, and to others it’s embracing your feminine side. IDK. Interesting!!!! And haha, pantsless Hook! That’s a good theory, Hope!
I was hoping someone would say this!! 🙂
To me feminism is embracing whatever a female chooses to do and no one should judge her based on her gender.
OK seriously I’m going to have nightmares about that Winnie the Pooh costume. W. T. F.
I know, it’s scary, right?
I actually like the Ursula costume. I think it’s really cute. Why can’t she be sexy? She’s already in a strapless black dress, why not shorten it?
It’s funny because although some are more far fetched than others, at least one of the costumes is more on par with the character than some of the actual Disney licensed costumes. Years ago, my husband (back when he was my “boyfriend”) and I were Peter Pan and Tink. We bought the “Disney” costumes, but his Peter Pan looked more like Robin Hood and my Tink was a lime green leotard with a green tutu. Last I checked, she’s wearing a short green strapless dress, right? lol Also, Esmeralda looked that scantilly clad in the movie too so I don’t think they sexified this one that much. haha
That’s so weird! Why would the official Disney costumes look nothing like the actual characters? haha
Haha! That Winnie the Pooh one is hilarious! The only one that I think is plausible is the Esmeralda one. Don’t you kind of think that all “sexy” Halloween costumes kind of have the same shape? Like the colors are changed but its basically the same costume each time
good point Amanda, haha
These are too funny, Mindy! I’m so glad you shared this — definitely made my morning! 🙂
I’m so happy to “hear” that, Victoria!
I understand with about half of these but a lot of these are completely fine to me. What’s so bad about the winnie the pooh one? A lot of these aren’t too revealing.
I didnt think Pooh was bad either and some of these are quite cute. Its not that the costumes are slutty or terrible, its just the idea of sexing up Disney characters that I think is what is being taken a little too far.
Hi Anonymous (if that is your real name ….) This post is totally tongue-in-cheek. None of these costumes are awful or offensive, just maybe a little … unsettling. Haha. I mean, sexy Bambi, really?
