Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, ok truth be told it is my favorite. I know Christmas is probably suppose to be but I find Christmas so hectic and stressful. Anyway back on topic, I love Halloween! I always have. When I was young my mother and aunt would throw a Halloween party for all the kids and I remember always having so much fun. This year I wanted to have a Halloween party, I don't know how successful it was but it was fun and that was the whole point! It was so much fun seeing all the kiddos in their costumes.
When I was searching for a costume, I knew I wanted to be the Wicked Witch since Anna was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (my favorite movie). The search for an appropriate costume was not so easy. Somehow women can only be slutty _______(fill in the blank). It is all Sexy Witch or Sexy Pirate, etc. In order to get a decent, child appropriate costume I had to get a plus size costume. The "One Size Fits Most" costumes were all slutty. Halloween is a time to dress up in what you normally would never do but when did that translate into "I want to look like a whore"? And the "One Size Fits Most" don't even get me started! The average American woman is a size 14 so when it says "One Size Fits Most" who is "Most" suppose to be??? A 12 year old? This country and the social norms drive me insane!
