Keep it classy.

"Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." - Caty, Mean Girls.


Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Not just because it's about two weeks after my birthday, but because we can be whoever we want to be for an entire day, and everyone just laughs.

I mean, today I'm a prep, the complete opposite of what I usually am. And my best friend, Emily, is an emo/scene kid, the complete opposite of who she is.

But I do enjoy it. Everyime Hallloween comes around, I think of that quote by Lindsay Lohan's character from Mean Girls from above. But, happily, my school newspaper published an article talking about just that. How slutty costumes have become the thing nowadays, and it's spreading to the younger generation. I don't want m younger brothers' female classmates looking like they're pimping themselves out on Halloween. It's just asking to be kidnapped by a pedofile.

I can say now that my children weill mever be dressed like that. At least until they're old enough to know that people think they look like sluts, which I hope they don't think is a good thing.

So that's why I'm dressed like a conservative prep. Although I'm sure these are not the things m classmates are going to wear out tonight [who wants to go to a party dressed like Sarah Palin?], I hope they make the right choices and don't act like sluts just because they're dressed like them.

Happy Halloween. Keep it classy out there.
