Reply #2: the more i think about it...

[bliss_eternal]

...the more i feel that *this* may be one of the scariest times in history, for women--the era of "girls gone wild" and the porn star.

in my college years, i don't recall anyone considering stripping (or porn) as viable career options. i frequently read of young women, who were attending college. but dropped out so they could pursue a career as a "porn star." :shrug:

that's pretty damned scary to me. but dressing up as a porn star for halloween....well, how could anyone distinguish a porn star from any of the costumes i linked in the op? :eyes:

but i digress...

i like your ideas! especially the writing scroll/era idea--that would be cool! though, i wonder how many would "get it." angela davis could be a cool costume.

i really don't understand the whole,"public indecency" thing either. pretty much pisses me off. there was a time, a woman could be "dorothy from the wizard of oz" and people recalled their fondness for the film, judy garland etc. now dorothy is hawt, complete with platform 3", ruby red shoes, thigh high fishnet tights and a pinafore dress that doesn't cover the butt. :puke:

meh.

there's so many bleak periods in history for women. the victorian era and corsets come to mind. :scared: though many would think that was great, as corsets are "in" again. (sigh)
