Well today is Halloween, come as you aren’t day, this is one of my favorite days of the year. This year I did not dress up, no one else was at work and I didn’t want to look like a donkey. But here is my question when did Halloween become dress slutty day? Every costume is sexy something, whether it is nurse, witch, pirate or princess. Seriously, when did this happen for adult women? Halloween has always been a scary day, the day the spirits come out, not vampires, too commercial for them, but ghosts, goblins and monsters, this is the day for them. So why do we feel the need to dress slutty or sexy? Why can’t we dress scary and have a good time, Halloween has become a day of pressure for women, to be something they really may not be, I am not talking sexy, I mean slutty, why can’t we dress up as superhero’s without the revealing factor of the costume? Why can’t we dress up as nurses without being the slutty nurse? What happened to creativity in costumes? Let’s get back to that, let’s encourage our girls to think creatively, fun, wildly out of the box.
I would love to see more goblins, ghosts, black cats and mummy’s on older girls, let’s make this a scary holiday once again!
I miss my kids being little and dressing up, they were all so stinkin cute, I hope I get to see Tess today; I usually go over and get a glimpse of her costume. Take a picture; give her a hug, then leave so she can go get her candy. Love that girl.
Friday is coming quickly, it is the day Shanon and I will be recording our show for the first time! An historic event, perhaps we need to mark the day with Starbucks, I will have to leave early and find out her favorite Starbucks treat. I have a new dress I haven’t worn; I am thinking Friday is the perfect day for said dress. It is purple, my favorite color, and it rocks, add some black boots and I will rock the look.
Come as you aren’t day
So today is Halloween, I usually love this holiday and actually love dressing up, I know you are all hugely shocked by this revelation. Ok, maybe not so much. However, this year is different, I have no desire to don a costume and do a come as you aren’t. Actually there is nowhere to dress up for, I didn’t have a party, there were no parties to go to and work is not having a dress up day today. They had one on Thursday with less than 24 hours notice. So not happening at that point.
So here I sit in just my jean skirt and sweater, boots of course, but no costume, just my fabulous self. Of course being in the mood I have been in lately maybe just being at work with my fake smile and fake chipper attitude is costume in itself.
Come as you aren’t, well, I’m not happy, I’m depressed, a lot, I’m angry, a lot and I am not chipper. Check, today I have come in costume, I am disguised as a happy, fulfilled human being, when in reality I have become a recluse, not wanting to leave my home, only going out when necessary. I need help, I need someone to take over my life and get it back on track. I can’t seem to pull myself out of the stupor I have been in.
Maybe next month, and by next month I mean December, Christmas is my favorite time of year, so maybe then I will pull myself out of this.
So, till next time, Happy Monday, Happy Halloween, Happy come as you aren’t day!
