How to make a feminist Halloween costume...?
Advertisements [?]
As I sat perusing the various links to the latest looks in Halloween costumes:


http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=sexy%20pirate&p1=%5bCommerceService+scenario%3d%5c%22f%5c%22+r%3d%5c%22leafcategoryid%7c4470%5c%22%5d&form=SHOPH1&crea=100109pirate

^^(no--i did not search on "sexy pirate costumes." i clicked on the link from msn's main news page. (sigh))^^

http://www.partycity.com/category/costumes+%26+accessories/women%27s.do

Making the effort to choke down the urge to vomit, while simultaneously realizing how desperately i want to find the asshole who created most of these costumes and kick his ass...

I wondered....what is sincerely frightening to men? Really scary, without it turning into camp or a farce?
How could that be conveyed in a costume?

Also, what is the scariest era in history for women, in your opinion?
If one of these years I decide to dress up, I want to represent the period of history that was f**** up for women, and make a statement about that.

Anyway, consider these questions--use your imagination and create your ideal, feminist halloween costume. What would it consist of?

:hi:
