Slutty Pirate Panties a New Low for Our Nation

sexy_pirate_costume_halloween

If you hadn’t guessed yet, slutty Halloween costumes are a bit of a pet issue of ours, especially — okay, mostly — Em’s. Em thinks Halloween turns the country into a nation of Hooters waitresses; Lo thinks that if a fully grown woman wants to use the spooky holiday to embrace her inner exhibitionist, she should go for it (so long as she doesn’t bring her 7-year-old daughter along for the ride). But even Lo was appalled at the selection of available women’s outfits at the local costume shop this year — it was damn near impossible to find a packaged vampire or ghost number that didn’t require at least one tit to be hanging out. Take this photo we snapped there, of a slutty pirate outfit: the packaging helpfully explains that the costume includes (1) hat, (2) dress, (3) panty. Leaving aside for a second how gross the word “panty” is in the singular — seriously, pirate panties? We believe we have reached a new low point. The costume doesn’t come with those boots, however — we guess they figure that every woman just happens to have a pair of thigh-high black latex lace-up boots in the back of her closet. Anyway, Happy Halloween, folks! And here’s an awesome ad from the Girls Costume Warehouse to lead you into the spooky weekend. Sexy jar of mustard, aw yeah.
