I'm looking out for you.

Shout out to my girl captainschlumpy : Your guide to absurd 'sexy' Halloween costumes. Because why settle for a sexy nurse costume* when you can be a Naughty Nemo.


*Because I always felt sexy when I was cleaning out and dressing a gaping pressure ulcer. Or when the ileostomy I was trying to pouch just could not stop seeping stool. OR when I ended up finding out my new admission was a hoarder who collected her piss in a bucket. Yeah, totally HAWT.

The phenomenon of the "sexy to ultra-sexy" Halloween costume is one that just drives me insane. So freaking ridiculous. And it makes it harder for those of us who don't want to wear underwear as a costume to find cool things.

I agree. The women's section in costume stores is full of uber skimpy tight options, things that I wouldn't wear. Makes me want to actually spend effort on making my own costumes.

Last night I saw a commercial for a Halloween store featuring a sexy squirrel.

That is hilarious!

I saw so many sexy marios at comic con today. I wanted to count them all but it was too much!

[captainschlumpy.livejournal.com]

also! WTF?! remote? unicorn? skunk? That guitar one is slutty and lol at the same time! I would be hard pressed to stop from punching any woman I saw wearing these in the face.

Sexy inanimate objects, I think, tends to be the most WTF choices.

I couldn't find the ridiculous Care Bear one I saw last year, but I did find:

Monopoly

Cookie Monster (Elmo and Big Bird are also available, although I think the Big Bird one is kind of cute.)

Pac-Man (the ghosts are also available)

Mario and Luigi

And all four Ninja Turtles

Oh, also: I used to get "sexy librarian" comments all the time back when I was telling people I was going to be one. It's not quite the same as nursing (though if you work in a public library, there will be bodily fluids to clean up), but I generally understand your frustration.

Sexy inanimate object = win. Those tend to make me laugh the most.

Why, why have you killed the sexy nurse for me forever? *sob*

...Kidding.

What a collection of costumes...

You know, I get the whole "sexy nurse" fantasy. I do. But I always find it funny how far away it is from reality.

I love Halloween.

*l* You're quite right, of course... I think pretty much any job with a uniform can be fetishized. What is it about dressing people the same that excites us...? Or are many of us just deeply aroused by good tailoring?

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

? Think it ties into the West's Victorian hang-ups about sex? In that those who are buttoned up and in uniform are considered contained, and the idea of those individuals engaging in sexual congress excites because of the unfettered aspect? Like a gentleman in a three piece is considered attractive and well put-together, but loosen the jacket and unbutton the collar and all of a sudden he's sex on a plate...?

No, just me? Okay then. It's the tailoring.
