Recommended: Design ideas for Halloween costumes

My wife and I spent another whole day, figuring out which Halloween costumes should my kids wear this year. We’ve done almost every character that any parent could think off and now, we still haven’t decided whether we should go with the Star Wars one or the X-Men theme.
You see, I’m the kind of dad who’s really hands on when it comes to Trick or Treating. Since I was not able to experience the fun of asking for candies when I was a little tyke, I want my kids to enjoy it as much as they could. And for a kid to enjoy it, he/she must be able to wear something fancy and eye-catching.
As my wife and I were strolling over the costume section in a nearby mall, my eyes caught sight of a very peculiar set of Halloween costumes. And no, these are not the costumes that you expect your kids to wear this Halloween. …show more content…

You know, those costumes that were either super sexy or they’re just too plain dumb. I mean, why should you really wear a “Cowboy Costume” that only consists of 2 pieces, a hat and a vest? Or why should you let your teenage daughter get those “Sexy Nurse Costume”?
Yes, it’s my first time seeing those kinds of costumes. It’s definitely a first seeing them in front of me. And after some time, I grabbed a “Sexy Nurse Costume” and showed it to my wife.
“Seriously? Is this really a thing?” I asked her.
“People do wear those. When there’s a supply, there’s definitely a demand. Besides, no one will ever create a thing if people are not expecting that to be a thing.” My wife said as she continued finding those Minions costume.
After a while, I still can’t believe that there are people who are demanding such kind of costume. I shrugged it off and moved forward with my wife.
So if there’s a demand for sexy costumes, then there’s definitely a supply for sexy costumes, huh?
If this happens on costumes, then why can’t I apply it at work? Why do we keep on getting people that are not competitive and enthusiastic towards

  • Secret Skin: An Essay In Unitard Theory

    309 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the reflective essay “Secret Skin: An Essay in Unitard Theory”, Michael Chabon explores the origin of superhero costumes and discovers that these costumes are “secret skins” of the superheros, rather than a disguise that they wear to hide their identity. Their identities are revealed in their costumes, where their past and secrets are displayed on cloth. Chabon supports this theory by exploring and explaining the detail upon the costumes of our favorite superheroes. For example, Chabon explains how the “S” engraved in Superman’s costume is actually “the coat of arms of the ancient Kryptonian House of El, from which he descends” and not actually the “S” for the first letter of the word “Superman”. Furthermore, the spider on Spiderman’s

  • Analysis Of Costumes As A Halloween Mask By Osamudia James

    765 Words  | 2 Pages

    Professor and vice dean at the University of Miami School of Law Osamudia James' commentary "Can a white child dress as a Halloween character from another race" addresses the now-controversial topic of appropriating another race or culture. James argues that an acceptable costume depends on avoiding stereotypes, discrimination, and white supremacy. I agree with James about avoiding offensive costumes, however, James' description of offensive costumes makes it very difficult to picture anything acceptable to wear. Ideally, a person would avoid white supremacy and discrimination, but I find it very hard to picture a costume which does not use stereotypes in one way or another. Somehow, she manages to relate white supremacy to Halloween in a ineffective
