Pop Goes the Culture
Shoulder pads, slap bracelets, Sinead O'Connor, streakers, sideburns, Sex and the City, string art, sea monkeys, SUVs, the Slinky. The best part about trends and passing fads (besides blackmailing your friend with the picture you have of her in that 1986 poodle perm) is the insight it can give us about our world. Sure, at the time a rat tail and listening to New Kids on the Block may have just seemed like harmless fun, but trends are more than just being able to say "Yes, I too tried the Adkins diet." And so this blog is devoted to finding all the latest trends and passing fads our culture can come up with and trying to figure out what they say about us other than at one point, we too thought the Emo look was cool.

AprillBrandon - > Pop Goes the Culture -> I'm going to be a sexy chupacabra for Halloween
I'm going to be a sexy chupacabra for Halloween

Sex has hijacked Halloween, folks. Allow me to present to the court exhibit A:

http://www.costume-shop.com...>Wizard Wanda

Now don't get me wrong. I've been my fair share of sexy 1920s flapper and even...(gulp)...a Playboy Bunny from the 1950s (hey it was in college and if society is held responsible for all the things we did in college, no one would ever be eligible to run for president ever again).

But I think the whole "sexy costume" thing has gone overboard. I mean, come on. A sexy Hermione from Hogwarts? Or, allow me to present to the court exhibit B:

http://www.costume-shop.com...>Sexy Halloween Costume - Hot Pizza Girl

A sexy pizza delivery girl? Really? I'm all for shedding inhibitions for one night of the year, but now they are just stretching it. I mean, what's next? A sexy homewrecker? Oh wait...Exhibit C, your honor.

http://www.costume-shop.com...>Sexy Homewrecker Costume

As lipstick feminist as I think I am, there is a point where even I'm like "Wow, that one lone costume set women back approcimately 500 years." Plus, I think these costume companies are being a little too liberal with the word "sexy." Cleavage and a non-existant skirt does not a sexy image always make. If that was the case, then the epitome of sexy would be people like RuPaul and my former third grade teacher Mrs. Maloney (who was 50).

So, if it pleases the court, in conclusion, you are free to be "sexy" for Halloween but when there are five other "sexy" Rainbow Brites at the party and no one is noticing you, don't start whining. You made your choice. And don't you dare complain that you can't sit down because your woo-ha might make an unscheduled appearance. And don't you even think about going off on the dude staring continually at your chest. You put it out there, you deal with it.

Court dismissed.

Aprill, if I even thought for a second that you had 100 bucks, let alone an evil million, and a costume in my size I would totally wear it in a kickball game.

But you don't have 100 bucks or a costume even close to my size, so the world is safe for now.

Billy, I will pay you one million dollars (cue Dr. Evil-esque pinkie up motion) to wear the sexy pizza delivery girl costume.

I could save Halloween from sexy by wearing those costumes. I'd probably set women forward 500 years with that Hogwarts outfit.

I've ordered a lot of pizza in my days (6 years of college, 3 years of grad school), and I can honestly say, I've never had a delivery person like that.  :(
