Skanky Halloween costumes for teens - Yea or Nay?

10/28/2008 3:00PM by Josh Loposer

When you take your daughter to the costume shop, you might find yourself asking: why does it look like pedophiles designed all of this fairy and princess outfits? Sure, it's a long-standing tradition for college-age women to use Halloween -- or Slutoween, as some are calling it -- as an excuse to channel their inner skankiness. Apparently, the trend "sex sells" mentality has filtered down to the younger age groups and some parents aren't too cool with it.

How about this sweetie devil costume, would you want your 12-14 year-old wearing that on her trick or treating excursion? Talking your teenage daughter out of a skanky Halloween costume has got to be hell on wheels, but are you supposed to just cave in and let them go out looking like an exotic dancer? Sheesh.

When it comes to adults, we say: bring on the sexy -- but some of these kid costumes are just uncomfortably pervy. It gives us the same feeling we got from watching Olive's pageant striptease in Little Miss Sunshine -- except less funny/more creepy.
