Forty Year Old Hookers


            It’s Halloween season, which can mean a number of things, depending entirely upon your age, morals, and originality level. For elementary aged kids (the best age to be at, if you ask me), this time of the year means finding the best costume to go trick-or-treating in, showing off the pumpkin-carving-induced cuts on your hands to all your friends, and making sure that your mom buys the best kinds of candy at the grocery store. Being under the age of 12 pretty much gives little kids an unlimited amount of energy, and the ability to slip into a candy-induced coma with relative ease. Not to mention free admission at the super sketchy haunted houses.
            As you get older, however, the definition of Halloween is totally and completely altered. Suddenly it’s not about the candy or the jack-o-lanterns anymore. For high schoolers or “young-adults” as we are so frequently called, October seems to be the best month of the whole fucking year. Halloween is the one day out of 365 that girls are allowed to dress like complete whores and not be called out on it. It’s always a silent competition among sluts- how much skin can I possibly show without being completely ass-naked? It seems nowadays that there really isn’t a limit as to how far some sluts will go to get noticed.
            Apparently, wearing your itty bitty third grade dance recital tutu to a Halloween party is totally acceptable- just make sure you slip on a pair of cat ears in case someone bothers to look away from the cleavage that is bursting from your lace push-up bra long enough to ask what you are. And please, do try your hardest to forget that it is twenty fucking degrees outside and the only people roaming the streets at this time are desperate forty-year-old hookers. While you’re at it, try not to remember that this is the time of the year that most kidnappings and abductions occur. But in all fairness, you can’t blame any pot-bellied redneck that might pull up hoping to get a feel- he was probably about to ask you your fee for the night, judging by the clothes you’re wearing (or not wearing, actually).
            If you are one of the few brave souls that actually dare to make Halloween a fun and creative night, props to you! Can’t say that I’ve seen you around lately, but I’m sure you’re still out and about somewhere. I just want to genuinely show my appreciation for you and your work. It’s wonderful to know that there are actually people out there who like to dress up for reasons other than showing off the extent of their skankiness. I understand that you all are a dying breed, but I hope society can at least be inspired by your innovation before you become extinct.
