Halloween Is Coming, Let's Talk

Probably telling my age, now
LoL

I like Halloween. I have happy great Halloween memories. Even the year I had the flu in the 1st grade, I had some fun.  My mom still let me wear my Care Bear (I was Tender Heart) costume in the house all day. I just had to wear my mask on the back of my head so I could breathe. So, Halloween is good.

But,  we need to talk about some of the bothersome parts of this holiday. First up, slutty costumes. Well, not all slutty outfits. I mean if your costume is of a slut then, it has to be slutty. I have issue with slutty versions of children's cartoons and toys.

Like sexy Big Bird seems very perverse. Who watches Sesame Street and thinks about sex? I feel like that about all sexy versions of kids stuff. In my opinion, they should be banned. Apparently, I am not the only person. Buzzfeed feels the same way. I had never heard of a sexy Charlie Brown until I saw this video. He is so right, Charlie is a bald depressed little boy. What is Sexy about a Bald Depressed Little Boy? Or at least if the consumer stop buying this stuff, the makers will stop making them. And I not saying an adult dressing like a child's cartoon is perverse.

These Minnie Mouse costumes are tasteful and very sassy. But only wearing some panty style shorts and a bandeau bra in the colors of the characters is not classy or cool.

If I see offenders about blackface this year, I will cry. I don't how many time it has to be said to get it through the skulls of those that want to do it. DON'T DRESS IN BLACKFACE!!!

This year I am not buying into not knowing any better. If I see it done I am deeming the offenders Racists from this day forward. That will go for celebrity and non-celebrities alike. It is okay for anyone to dress like someone of another race and not change their racial skin tone.

Ellen and Miley Cyrus have done it. Oh, I know Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj may not be what you want to dress up as, let's use Olivia Pope as an example.

Here is an example on how to dress up as Olivia Pope without the use of blackface. Many different models dressed as Livvie as their race. 

Oh and black people, I didn't forget about you. Don't Dress In Whiteface. Don't let Nick Cannon and Snoop make you be offensive also.

Hollywood is not paying you for that role so, go as that character with black skin. 

Yeah, my sister's kids always have the good stuff.

However you are celebrating this holiday, let it be classy, intolerant, safe & fun. If you have a couple of Pixy Stix, can you send them my way. They're my favorite and I'm not passing those. LoL I have no clue what is going to be passed out & I'm not in charge of door snacks this year. I'm preparing dinner, Candy Corn Quesadillas (Recipe found HERE) & Salad.

Happy Halloween!!!

Umm It's Halloween Time and Umm Walmart, That's Strike One!!!

Well it's Halloween time! As I was rolling my eyes looking at this years starter crop of distasteful Halloween costumes (ebola costumes, child as Ray Rice, some chick as a used sanitary napkin) Monday morning, many distasteful Walmart articles kept popping up.

Walmart's Website Features a Section of 'Fat Girl Costumes'

Market Report: Walmart Features Horrifying Selection of “Fat Girl” Costumes

Seemly it was up for a few days before Monday. Twitter was abuzz about it even days after.

So, I decided to look myself. Because surely not Walmart being gross in labeling the Plus Size. Then I saw it with my own eyes.*sigh*. Walmart had to get their first "Plus Size Hate" strike. I had to join Twitter and tweet along. 45 minutes later after I saw the section, it disappeared from the website. 

Walmart apologizes for 'fat girl' costumes

Here is an article about the apology HERE.  It is disgraceful that it was on the website. Like I said before in a previous BLOG, the plus size can take there money somewhere else. If Walmart keeps this up, it will be on my boycott list that already includes its competitor, Target and Old Navy, As much money I give Walmart... Get it together Walmart!!!

I'm going to say because it is Halloween, somebody in the web developing department or some hackers thought it would be a laughable Trick or Treat joke. I mean, It's Halloween in America where blackface and deadly diseases an acceptable costume. So making fun of fatties is okay. Be it Halloween or not, fat people are fair game to joke about anyway. Oh it's wrong to make fun of  anyone because of their age, race, creed, gender, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, marital status or socioeconomic status. Someone's body type or weight is a free for all for humor and taunts, always. Not funny, jerkwad!!! I hope all involved who thought it was okay for it to be on the website lose their jobs.

Even with that gross mishap, it is still Halloween time. I've been invited to a Halloween theme revue & a Halloween party by sister's friend whose birthday is that day. For safety sake I'm not going to the Halloween revue. Some revuer grab me from behind and scare me and get punched in the costume shorts. Plus all the Tootsie Roll & Sucker references will get old real quick. I do wonder, If Revuers wear costumes on Regular revue nights, Do they wear their regular clothes on stage for Halloween? LoL But I might go to the party.

I plan on being a cowgirl with lollipop stained lips.
You know, I look like I've been eating candy all night. LoL If not I'll pass out candy to the few trick or treaters we have until 8pm and then I'll watch the 1986 classic, "The Worst Witch" (the clip above) and anything else Halloween (fun, non-scary) related. 

Are any of my readers celebrating Halloween (or All Saints Eve, Neewollah, Hallelujah Night, Harvest Night)? How are you doing so? Let me know in the comments.

Well if I don't talk to you on October 31st, Happy Halloween!!!
