Halloween is Truly Scary For Girls

I got an email from Well.ca (a company I really like!) telling me they now have Halloween costumes for kids. Great! I think, now maybe I can find a Toopy and Binoo or pumpkin costume for the Little Man.

Instead I find this:

This is apparently a child's costume.

And this:

Why are these little girls posing this way? In very short skirts?

It makes me happy I don't have a little girl, first of all! But it makes me sad for the lack of choices out there for kids to dress up. Since when did Halloween turn into Dress Like A Skank Day?

UPDATE: My friend sent me this collection of Halloween costumes.

Here's another mom's opinion: Mom Speaks Out!

  1. That's gross :( Often, my girls would get "boy" costumes because even the "girl" costumes are so skimpy.

    Also, Dude, it's OCTOBER and freezing. these skimpy costumes are super impractical.

  3. Ah yes, the Monster High characters... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ4mQcBDmCo - G's daughter is very into them right now and buys all the dolls the minute she has the money to get one) The pre-teen answer to Twilight. The only thing I like about it is that they have made purple and black with gothy skulls mainstream cool so that G and his daughter can compromise on certain things (a pink bike with skulls, for example :) ). But yeah, not such a big fan of the skanky outfits the girls wear.
