Tis the Season to be Slutty

One of my former acquaintances once told me that when we dress up in costume we are truly reflecting our inner selves. He then proceeded to comment on several different costumes and what they said about the wearers, when I told them that they all belonged to me he did not seem that surprised. Over the years I have generally agreed with this theory. We personify our inner selves through Halloween. I also believe this is one of the reasons why people are partaking in Halloween more and more as adults. And after looking around this year, and trust me I saw many a costume since I was in two costume contests, I know what most women are. Yes...most women (not all) are secretly sluts.

After looking around at all the sexy kitties, pirates, cheerleaders, waldos, firemen, and super heroes, and realizing that at lease half of these sexy costumes should not have been worn by the women in them I knew the truth. Secretly we all want to be sexy. Some of us act the part all year long, hearing the beat of the va-va-va-voom with each step we take, others however need the guise of Halloween to bring that 'sexy' forth. Still, I ask you all when did less clothes become the standard sexy? I rocked out a full length evening gown last night and had people tripping over themselves. No need to have your ass hang out. Seriously, this is something that I saw...a lot...

Ladies, I get it, we all want to be sexy, confident, powerful women. But can we look back on icons like Ava Gardner and remember that classy can also be sexy because it is more about attitude most of the time then it is about what you are wearing. Your attitude governs your poise, facial movements, and actions. Laugh at the right moment. Throw your shoulders back. Hold your head as if you own the world, and by god, you will. You are sexy in jeans and a t-shirt with the right attitude, all the rest is just icing. Seriously though, for the love of all that is holy...put on some clothes...
