Personally, I think those “sexy” costumes are a cheap way to be lazy and slutty at the same time. Give me a creative and interesting costume: much more likely to peak my interest (though that “sexy potato” might be worth at least a laugh XD).
The costumes aren’t sexist; the girls who continually want them are. The costumes sell because for some reason girls, little and large, want to be unimaginative cheap sluts on Halloween. Sounds like an amusing blog, though.
Used to work in a small place that had dress-up days. For Thanksgiving we had a pilgrim and an Indian, and I was supposed to be a turkey. Being vegetarian, I went as Mashed Potatoes. Can’t say it was sexy. Looked better as the Christmas Tree, but I had to keep unplugging and replugging myself when I moved to a different work station.
One nurse stays the same; take a habit, throw it over nurse #2, instant Sexy Nunrse; grab some fake blood, throw it on nurse #3, rip her clothes, cake some dirt on her, instant Sexy Zombie Nurse.
This reminds me. The banana song is too over-rated.
Its the potato that really deserves a song named after it. Everybody loves potatoes! (“Po-po-po po-po-ta-to…”)
I think the strangest ‘sexy’ costume I’ve ever seen is a sexy Dr. Manhattan. I can’t see how a girl can be sexy dressed as a blue bald man.
A NAKED blue bald man, at that.
And suddenly, I’m intrigued again
I just happened to be walking by…
Tell me more.
How about the naked blue bald woman in Farscape? That was somethin else.
Well…any of the babes in Farscape. Mmm.

I agree. I think Halloween costumes are totally sexist. (although, majority of girls dress slutty for Halloween, so I guess it’s a good market)
There’s a really funny blog I saw that compares men’s versions of costumes to their female counterparts, I can’t remember what it’s called though.
Whoops. I knew that. Stupid typos.

Well, you talking about sexy potatoes keeps making me think of Rincewind from Discworld. He really likes potatoes
*like*
I want a Rincewind bug…

…POTATO.
Keep up the great work, adam!
Your last panels lately are fantastic! Of course, the only real sexy potato is french fries.
This year I decided to go the easy route. Forget “sexy [whatever]”. I’m going as Magenta from Rocky Horror. She’s already sexy. Well…”sexy”.
*like* 😀 Love that movie!
You laugh, but there is really a Sexy Hamburger Costume: http://www.yandy.com/Sexy-Hamburger-Costume.php

We’ve all been there Lair of Rockwhales. We feel your pain.

i usually just buy a scary mask and roll with a warm jacket, scare kids, get candy with the homies and then come home
…I’ve got it.

Two words: Slutty Pumpkin.
Why can’t they just run around as slutty nudists?
That’s why I would go as a murloc or Link or something…
