Black and orange are THE fashionable colors for this month. Pumpkins are orange (I'm aware that pumpkin is not only a food but a color but they're still orange to me), and the nights get longer, etc.
Recently I was in a Halloween Store just to look around. You can get a good deal on a fog machine for $90 or for $14 you can get a small cauldron of flame made with silk fabric blown by a small fan. Also in the store were demonic clowns. I don't know when clowns made it into Halloween, but it seems to me that they should have their own scary holiday.
There are a lot of costumes to buy of course, but I love, love, love it when I go to parties and girls are in their "slutty [blank] costume." What I mean is a lot of times girls pick a costume for a party but whatever they want to be, they add the word "slutty." For example, instead of a princess, I'm a slutty princess. Instead of an cop, I'm a slutty cop. Instead of prostitute, I'm a slutty prostitute.
It's like adding "in bed" to the end of a fortune cookie, or saying "That's what she said."
It's unfortunate that this is my only night of the year to see a slutty teacher, slutty cat, slutty nurse, slutty witch, slutty Raggedy Ann, or my favorite slutty slut.
I've been invited to three parties. I'll report back.

I am hoping that there are lots of slutty sluts at my Halloween party. That is, after all, why I have it.
Clowns at Halloween has never bothered me, because clowns are, of course, terrifying. The thing that bothers me is that Halloween is, for some reason, rapidly becoming co-opted as a pirate holiday. What's the deal?
I'm seeing more and more people who are having pirate-themed Halloween parties or yard haunts. More and more pirate-themed decorations in the Halloween store. Heck, some Halloween stores have a whole pirate section. Why?
Of course, I understand it's because that charming Johnny Depp has made pirates cool again. That's not the question. The question is, why pirate up Halloween? I guess "normal" people only dress up in a costume once a year, and so if they want to dress like a pirate (and they do, because of Johnny), Halloween is their outlet.
To these people, I say this: September 19th, people! That's International Talk Like a Pirate Day. THAT'S your pirate-themed holiday. Run with it! At Halloween, if you're going to dress like a pirate, make it an ghost pirate. Or at least a slutty one.
You're both sluts.
Slutty sluts! Ha!
