Halloween Costumes… SEXY Halloween Costumes! Part 1

Halloween is right around the corner. And you know what that means?

Time for horribly made, horribly offensive, and horribly wrong sexy Halloween costume shopping!!! Ladies, I did all the footwork this year so you don’t have to. And by footwork, I mean I went to exactly ONE website. One that was posted to my Facebook feed by alert reader Seth. Actually, I’m not sure he reads this blog. And he can be kind of distracted sometimes, but overall, I guess he’s pretty alert…

So, because fairly alert maybe reader Seth posted this one website, I spent over an hour perusing the site, and gathering only the best of the worst of what www.yandy.com had to offer. I should add that I’ve not only posted the pictures, but they all link back to their purchase page. Also, if you hover over the pictures, you get the awful names for each outfit (“Deluxe Combat Camo Chick” will totally kick your ass unless she chips a nail first).

You’re welcome.

So, the above starts us off with the standard “sexy occupation” costumes. There were far more than the above, way more than I could post here. I actually had many more tabs open with many more occupations, but then my internet browser crashed and I had to restart my computer. That is a true story- there were so many. There were also a lot of “sexy school girls”:

In fact, there’s an entire section of them. I understand the appeal… It’s a pretty easy costume to pull off, and it’s pretty much guarenteed to get you laid if you so choose. In fact, I’ve done it before. It’s how I got to know my BabyDaddy. Show up to a cast party for RenFest in a schoolgirl outfit, and return the following year with a 2 month old infant.

Speaking of RenFest, we could redo the Renaissance Festival in “sexy Renaissance” costumes…

…especially those belly dancing gypsies…

…but quite frankly, our costumes are already pretty damn sexy, and WAY better put together. Also, I’m not entirely sure anyone would notice the difference.

Speaking of, did you know that Gypsy is actually a derogatory term for the Romani people? It’s true! So not only were those above costumes slutty, but they were also racist. LEt’s marginalize women AND stereotype minorities at the same time!!! And… GO!

1) I would have put the Maid costume here as well, since usually they’re listed as “French Maid”, but they didn’t do so on here. You get a pass this time, Yandy.
2) Naughty Vodka Geisha Girl? Are you kidding me? SAKE, for crying out loud. If you’re going to do it, at least stick with the same country, assholes.

Religion also get touched on frequently, but I was surprised that Yandy didn’t have any sexy nuns. I was not surprised, but still disappointed, that they didn’t have any sexy Rabbis. However, I do feel the need to point out one particular “sexy religion” costume:

Yes, the witch is a religious figure. I know, I’m a Christian, and therefore I’m supposed to find anything not Christian as Devil Worship. Well, let me break another stereotype for you… I don’t. In fact, some of my best friends are Wiccan. It’s a lovely set of beliefs, many of which (not witch) revolve around nature. In fact, their calendar is based off of the sun, moon, stars.. and their positions in the sky.

Samhain, on October 31st, is the Gaelic Pagan festival celebrating the summer’s end. Halloween, or All Hallow’s Eve, is commonly thought to have its roots in Samhain. Thus why the sexy witch is such a common Halloween costume. But let me dis-spell this stereotype right now: some witches are sexy. And some witches are not.

But mostly, they’re sexy. I mean, look at them:

God DAMN! Look at those witches! They be smokin’!

Gotta get me some candy. Witches love candy!

Conversational Spanish

After writing about the DMV hell I went through I went back to the Hennepin County Service Center for the fourth day in a row and everything went smoothly. In and out in ten minutes. While I was relieved to finally get this passport stuff taken care of a small part of me was disappointed that the end of the story was so anticlimactic. No terrorists, ninjas, wendigos. Just me and an old lady and a bunch of forms.


Now that I have successfully applied for a passport I can now go to Mexico for the Akumal Comedy Festival sponsored by Stand Up! Records. This will be the first time I have ever visited a foreign country that isn’t Canada and I’m a little concerned that my Spanish is rusty.


By “rusty” I mean “I took Spanish in high school for two years, got a ‘D’ every semester and haven’t spoken a word of it since”.


Granted, I’ll be spending my time at a tourist resort with a bunch of other Americans and whatnot but what if I get lost? What if I find myself in a place where nobody speaks english? I’d like to brush up on my conversational Spanish before the trip in April but when I google “conversational spanish”, the websites all give me lame ass phrases like –



¿Qué tal ha estado Ud.? How have you been?

¿Cuál es la especialidad del día? What is the special today?

¿Me trae helado, por favor? May I have some ice cream, please?


“May I have some ice cream, please?” Seriously? I need phrases that I’m going to actually use when I’m in Mexico. Thank God for google translator. Let’s translate some useful phrases, shall we?


¿Es esto realmente la comida? ¿Puedo comer esto sin diarrea explosiva? Is this actually food? Can I eat this without getting explosive diarrhea?


Treinta dólares en el pollo en la esquina! Tiene los ojos de un asesino. Thirty dollars on the chicken in that corner! He’s got a killer’s eyes.


Deja la botella. Tengo que tomar la imagen del burro que mostrar fuera de mi cráneo. Leave the bottle. I need to drink the image of that donkey show out of my skull.


No sé lo que has dicho a mí, pero tan pronto como he terminado de beber la botella de tequila me voy a romper por encima de su cara de tonto.. I don’t know what you just said to me but as soon as I’m done drinking this bottle of tequila I’m going to smash it over your stupid face.


¿Quién está tratando de volver loco con, friend? ¿No sabes que estoy crazy? Who you trying to get crazy with, ese? Don’t you know I’m loco?


Hey, todos somos amigos aquí. No hay necesidad de armas de fuego. Hey, we’re all friends here. There’s no need for guns.


Por favor, no hagas esto. Tengo una familia. Please don’t do this. I have a family.


¿A dónde me llevas? Tome esta venda de los ojos! No se puede hacer esto a mí! Soy un blanco, varón americano! Where are you taking me? Take this blindfold off! You can’t do this to me! I’m a white, male American!


Que me dejen ir si puedo hacer esto para usted? ¿Qué pasa si los globos estalló cuando están en el colon? You’ll let me go if I do this for you? What if the balloons burst when they’re in my colon?


Por favor, llévame al hospital. El recto está lleno de narcóticos. Please take me to the hospital. My rectum is full of narcotics.





That should take care of it. I just hope I don’t need to visit the library. I totally forgot how to ask where that is.

Stereotypes!
