A different breed

My friends and I are different. I think we always knew this, but around Halloween it really becomes obvious. Mean Girls says it best, "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."

When you look for costumes online there is no denying that they are trying to be slutty. For example, Snow White is Naughty White Snow. This is where my friends are different. Sadly, the majority of American girls are dressed as sluts disguised as cops, firefighters, nurses, nuns, or disney princesses. My friends and I dress as Richard Simons, a box of Quaker Oats, a person from the Blue Man Group, Jared from Subway, the Golden Girls, Rafiki from The Lion King...

In conversations about what people are going to be for Halloween we tend to forget that most people don't think like us. We like the challenge of being creative. It would be funny if we went as a slutty cop one year because no one would expect it...at least if they knew us.

My challenge to people is to be creative this year! Be covered! And be safe!
