Hey, Big Spender!! Welcome the first “Instant Gratification Titanium Card”. Includes one large “Bank of Unlimited Shopping USA” pink credit card to be worn strapped to the chest.
Name on the card reads “Lois Price, In debt since 10-31-05”. The phrase “Never pay just charge away” is written in black cursive lettering in the middle of the costume.
See, this is funny because women love to shop. OH, BOY, DO THEY! They also aren’t able to manage finances, or exhibit any self-control… probably because they’re all on their periods. But they sure are pretty though!
Discuss.
I’d like to see the metrics on how many of these shitty costumes people actually buy.
I’m not a big boob connoisseur or anything, but it seems like they’d be less attractive hidden behind a giant cardboard plank.
Come on!!! It’s FUN!!!! That’s what you sloggers told me. So lighten up!! It’s fun to be racist and mysonginistic one day a year!! HAVE FUN!!!
I was going to be a leather daddy this year, but thanks to Slog’s coverage of oppressive patriarchal costumes, I now realize that I’d be perpetuating harmful stereotypes of gay men as being hot, muscular, macho, and preoccupied with sex.
My new costume? A bag of leaves.
It’s not sexist until they come up with the Sexy Miss Charge It costume. This is fine.
Halloween costumes are pretty easy when all you do is wear a black outfit and paste some oversized joke prop onto the front.
What else could we do? I know! Black people all like watermelons, right? Let’s all dress up in outfits and paste giant fake watermelons on our fronts.
Hell, you don’t even have to rely on obnoxious or offensive stereotypes. Why go to all the trouble of making yourself look like something? Just get a picture of it, stick it in a poster frame, and hang it off the front of your black leotard. Grab a poster for the original Frankenstein movie and they’ll swear that Boris Karloff is there in the room with them!
Create your own giant post it, write a version of this – http://imgur.com/gallery/Dacfa – and you have a nice #occupy themed costume!
I don’t object to this costume on the grounds that it’s sexist, I object on the grounds that it’s stupid and uninspired.
I don’t think this is a Halloween costume, she is wearing clothes under the credit card.
@6: Spend an afternoon at the Nieman Marcus store in Bellevue and see if you are still offended.
It’s even better if the bags are filled with high heeled shoes and expensive make-up,
