One year I should have a party where the idea is to wear the most banal "sexy" costume possible. Sexy Toll Collector. Sexy Paralegal. Sexy DMV Employee. Sexy Supreme Court Justice.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For Sexy Supreme Court Justice, you can just wear a robe with nothing under it, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sexy slaughterhouse worker?
Sexy farmer? (It must be my upbringing, as I just can't picture that one....)

Sexy farmer = Dexy's Midnight Runners, no?
Man, I'm brilliant at this game!

Well OK. But only because they're British....

Really I meant in concept -- maybe I've hit upon something. For a Sexy [unsexy job] costume, just wear the obvious clothing for that job with nothing under it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe next year I'll be a dominatrix. Sexy sex worker. Plus? Weapons.

They were dressed as something sexy, not a sexed up something.
This is going to be my new Halloween mantra. No, seriously. Between you and Trudy and the discussion today, I'm a lot clearer on why some of these costumes bug and some don't.
I myself put on my black and white dress from the Atlanta F2F, threw a kid's dalmatian costume around my shoulders like a stole, and went as Cruella deVil. Which I think was the good kind of sexy, but slightly tarted up by dint of the weight I've put on since May expressing itself largely through my boobs. Oops.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My plan this year for Halloween--slightly dented by virtue of having no plans for Halloween-- was going to be either (a) if I had no time to put something together and/or came straight from work, to go as Liz Lemon, because I own the half of her wardrobe that doesn't bare cleavage or (b) Little Edie Beale, because shopping for that would be the funnest ever. I already have a skirt that I was going to wear as a turban; the hardest part would be finding the broach.

So who here has has someone think you were in costume when you were just dressed the way you normally do? (Besides Jilli.)
When I was in college I had really long hair. Plus I wore round glasses and a black leather motorcycle jacket. So on Halloween I did get a few people asking what I was. One guessed Joey Ramone.
