Happy whore-a-ween

What is it about Halloween that causes independent, stylish women to want to dress like on-duty hookers? I've spent the past week being bombarded by "adult" Halloween costume options. They are in the stores, on my e-mail, and even on USA Today.com. What woman in her right mind thinks it's a good idea to dress up as a hoochie Grim Reaper?

I know, I know. Paris Hilton does it, Lindsay Lohan does it. Sure, but they don't look good! They dress like the drug toting, fire crotch whores on a daily basis. It isn't even a stretch for them.

This was the year of Marie Antoinette, and while the movie blew, the costume options it presented are a lot more attractive than anything on BuyCostumes.com. Go as Rachel Ray, Angelina Jolie or Queen Elizabeth II. Halloween costumes are supposed to be clever and fun, not slutty.
