No more sexy please.

We all know that Halloween has been taken over by the sexy costume industry. I feel like some of this may have been brought on by the revealing superheroine outfits worn by people at comic/scifi conventions. Don't get me wrong, there are some great well crafted superheroine outfits, like the ones made by the legendary Ruby Rocket.

But we all know these outfits require some serious bosom buddies and a severe brazilian wax job.
That's why I was so delighted to come across this very funny article of comic book Halloween costumes that Don't objectify women, like She-Hulk the lawyer.

Freaky Fashion Friday: The Wild Things

It's hard to not be inspired a bit by the recent "Where the Wild Things Are" craze. The fox costume that I made myself for my Halloween costume certainly drew it's look from the terrible monsters in Spike Jonze's new film, but the idea of dressing like animals goes way back. Since human beginnings we have been fascinated by our link and relationship with animals and have continuously made masks and costumes in order to take on their traits and attributes. Here are some of my favorite animal costumes that I have come across.

From a stage production of the fairy tale, "Hansel and Gretel."
