I'm browsing for Halloween costumes in the kid's section of Party City, because I'm the size of a twelve year old girl, and I stumbled across these little numbers:
In the GIRLS section. And not the junior girl's section, which even then I'd have had an issue with, and by the way are worse. But these are in the girls size 7-12 section. Do you know how old a little girl is when she fits into those sizes? This is assuming she's not an insanely tiny 25 year old woman with a brain tumor like yours truly. Between 8 and 10 years old. Maybe 12 years old. Maybe.
Those are corsets. And fishnets. And stripper shoes.
Someone please tell me how those children's halloween costumes differ from what's currently hanging in the display window at the lingerie store in the mall?
Are you seriously telling me that people put their YOUNG DAUGHTERS into these outfits and then send them out at NIGHTTIME to random houses of STRANGERS and have them ask those strangers for CANDY?
Seriously?
What is WRONG with people?
I wanted to be Little Red Riding Hood
But unfortunately, all that was available was Little Red Streetwalker. 
And that's how I ended up being Betsy Ross.* Because Betsy Ross's momma taught her right.
*Not really, because I refuse to support Party City or anyone else that thinks it's okay to make little girl costumes that look like lingerie. And that is why I'm currently planning on dressing up as a bride for Halloween. That and it's one more reason to wear my wedding dress again.
