In terms of Halloween costumes, it seems to me that "slutty" is applied to the character one is dressed as, e.g. slutty pumpkin, rather than just being a slutty costume or slutty clothes.

See? Using "slutty" to modify "pumpkin."

I'm amused at the concept of "slutty pumpkin". I mean, I have a hard time imagining it, and yet, somehow Halloween costume makers manage to make slutty everything ELSE, so why not?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How can I possibly believe one can't dress like a slut? But I don't. So you can't dress like a slutty pumpkin, because how can you tell?

slutty pumpkins show too much pulp.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That sends me to a Night on Earth place....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. Herself linked to a humor piece in the New Yorker which imagines new iPhone apps which give you directions to a poet's house. For example:
Type in “William Carlos Williams”:
so much depends
upon
a Red Lobster on the corner
of S.R. 22 and tompkins road
drive past it and there’s no way to
turn around until you hit greenville
make the turn and we’re the white
mailbox on the right
glazed with rainwater
Dylan Thomas begins:
Do not go gentle when you make that right
For you must merge, merge into the flood of rushing lights
And Allen Ginsberg yields:
You, who take Route 80 past the saxophone-screaming fever-dream factories, belching steam like hoochsmoke out of a Negro tenement,
Who take Exit 62 and shine on the one-eyed no-legged veteran at the bottom of the ramp who wants to get back on his crackling hydrogen lightship but all he’s got is the jungle-rhythm jangle of dimes in a soot-filled change can,

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
For those of you whose heads are 'sploding on my facebook: He served with my brother, and I'd prefer to not confirm his certainty that "libtards can't hear the truth" by blocking.
So I just sort of calmly refute and question. And watch him avoid questions, and wrap himself further in denial.
Please don't let head go 'splode. I loves u!
