I was reading a New Article over on News Week
I cant believe what I saw when reading the Article and I complete Agree with the Article. Todays costume are starting make our children these day look more adult like instead of allowing them to look like children. I just want to know what happened to these Costumes. I remember growing up with my parents making our costumes and going out Trick or Treating not dressing us up like we are some adult Model on the runway wearing less then nothing.

Ever go shopping for a 5 yr old child who wears a size 6, that wanted Clothes for Christmas?????? What an awakening to me.....skimpy black dresses,or leopard skin, or clothes that certainly did not look age appropriate....it was hard to find something for a child that age. This year I better choose a boys name off the tree!????

Mine went as Vampires and did there own makeup and dressed themselves. They would not even want to dress trashy like those outfits pictured, so I'm glad. On one hand I would say, well its just one night of dress up for parents who would buy those outfits for their children. But, I personally do not find them appropriate given the fact that there are some sick adults out there that look at these children and think that they are older and start getting turned on.

The witch outfit isn't that bad. I mean, it seems to just be a more stylized version of the classic outfit, doesn't it? It actually looks kind of anime inspired.
But what the hell? A French maid's outfit? For a kid? Then I saw the link for the MAJOR FLIRT costume.
I blame people like Paris Hilton.

I don't blame Paris Hilton because these costumes were around for kids way before her.
Kids started dressing sexy when pop stars became younger and younger...closer to their ages. When Britney Spears was sixteen, she was rolling around in a Catholic School uniform saying "oh baby baby". We were 11 at the time. Now, it's just a social norm, unfortunately.
There's your answer. Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and Christina Aguilera...though two of them have cleaned up their acts.

I read an article like that, I don't look up to the popstars I think they are terrible role models. It is sad that anyone would want to make costumes like that for a child.

How about the fashion (and kid market) clothing designer's...?
The models on the runways are in their 20's and look 12- 14, flat chested, skinny as a rail?
How about the advertiser's who continually try to shock us by being a little more risque every year? Who always show a little more skin, a little more shock factor in all they do?
How about the movie producers and directors who continually want to shock us by giving more, showing more, (giving us less quality, more T&A, more skin, more gore, more graphics?
Where, and how, do we start bringing our values back to a place where we're proud for our children to read the popular stories, see the warm touching movies, care for each other (all living beings) as WE should?
There's my .02 worth. No more, no less.

Those models may be 14. 20 is now considered "old" for a model. I used to watch America's Next Top Model. I can't now because all Tyra Banks does is complain about the modelling business, while saying she "has to" stick to the way things are. In fact, she doesn't, because she will always be the Twiggy of my generation and if she wanted to change things, she could in the snap of a finger. Anyway, she told a 22 year old model named "Melrose" that she was "old".
Those flat chested bony models could very well be 14 and in 8th grade.

I was alarmed last night by the fact that 80 percent of the kids that came to my door didn't even have a costume on at all..they just came in their school clothes. Half of them didn't even have the basic manners to say thank you after I gave them candy, some didn't even have a candy bag, it was retarded...

Regarding Paris Hilton, I said people like her. There's been a Paris Hilton for every generation. Every decade society takes another decline. Costumes like the ones in the OP didn't just burst out of nowhere, it was a steady line of saying "Yeah, that's okay to do." Spears, Simpson, Aquilera, even Hilton are as much victims of this as they are profiteers of it.
South Park did a great episode about Paris Hilton. She came to the town and opened up a store called "Stupid Spoiled Whore," and really pegged how young girls are so eager to emulate her. At the very end the show basically put the blame on parents, for not indicating the values that they should have. It's with a quote from this I'll end my tangent:
"If you don't teach your kids that people like Paris Hilton are to be hated and disrespected, where are they going to learn it?"
