Halloween is a great time for kids to dress up and live out their fantasies and lately girls have been able to live out their dream of being really hot and sexy and naughty...Wha? Wha??!! Halloween costumes have gotten out of hand. Gather any group of parents and you'll quickly hear about how the choices of costumes have gone from witch and princess to sexy witch and pouty porn princess.
Outfits that are too short, too low-cut and too risque are being marketed to tween and teen girls at an alarming rate. Tween and teen girls still look to their parents to set the example on what is acceptable to wear and it's our responsibility to let them know that they can have fun and be accepted without channeling their non-existent inner sex kitten.
I mean let's face it, the sexing up of tween and teen girls has been happening for a while now and the fighting between parents and daughters about skirt lengths can only intensify when on Friday it was okay to look like a sexy wench but on Monday it's back to respectable school girl.

Many of these costumes are no different than the adult version as seen here in the "Mad Hatter Tea Party Tween Costume" and the adult version.
Look to easy and cute make at home costumes like a witch, pop star, storybook character, etc. Making the costume together is a great way to spend quality time and give you peace of mind. One way to send a message to merchandisers about these unacceptable costumes, like the Lucky Leprechaun Child Costume to the left, is to leave them wear they belong - on the shelf.
