But this teen costume is on clearance....
Kinda funny, her going as jailbait
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
I went out in this one, without the mask. I remember my mom adding a fistful of VO5 to give me that Superman unicurl.

Then don't eat it.
Duh.
And...
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Trent - I get your point. I just bought a costume for my kid and looked for a costume for myself. I was appalled at the selection for teenage and preteen girls. My daughter will hate me once she gets old enough to fit in those costumes. And I refuse to let her wear one. DH was also appalled at the plus size selection. They were about the same size as the teenage ones. Halloween=Excuse to dress slutty.
I don't half-ass anything

Why is it sideways?
I just want to know what the heck is a "preteen"?
What exactly are those costumes supposed to be?
Seriously, my wife and I were joking about this last Halloween. ALL the teenage girls in our development were wearing some sort of costume that had to be listed in the catalog as "Slutty ____": Slutty Princess, Slutty Prom Queen, Slutty Tinkerbell, and slutty girl in our neighborhood (that one wasn't even in costume, she's just trampy).

Me in my VO5. Apparently, I am "slutty."

Apparently, I am "slutty."
Awkward.
Not at it at all.
You aren't that far off. Google teen halloween costume. "Sexy snow white" was one of the first ones I found.
Maybe by the time my kids are teens the pendulum will have swung and they'll all be dressing as nuns or something.

Last year we saw Little Ho Peep-Show. She was in her 40s and at least 20#s too heavy for the outfit. Not sexy in any way, shape, or form.
