Why would Lindsay wear this for Halloween? She’s always making it hard for me to defend her.
Lindsay, I know Tina Fey wrote Mean Girls, but you read the lines. Remember?
“In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In girl world, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” (Oh, Tina, how right you are.)
Lindsay, these were the slutty outfits your character was referring to:
These girls look conservative compared to that fire-hooker thing you’ve got going on. I think your fatal mistake was with the make-up. Or…maybe I misunderstood. Are you dressed as a fireman clown? Like this:
If so, then well done. I get it now. I’m sorry. Doesn’t it piss you off when people guess your costume wrong?

I went to a Halloween party around the time of the big stupidity of the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” military homosexual crap. A friend was there dressed in his fatigues and I find out that he has come to the party as a gay marine! I am pleasantly surprised at the politcal statement being represented at what is generally a, well, not so into making any statement kind of crowd. So, I enthusiastically go to my friend and praise his costume…”A gay marine! I love it!” He looks at me with shock and anger. So, speaking of guessing a costume wrong, he is not, of course, a gay marine. But, I have been perfectly set up to deliver the punch line.

I dunno, but Lindsay’s outfit brings to mind some of the drag queen hookers who used to cruise outside of the Lincoln Tunnel in the late 1980’s.
The assertation in MEAN GIRLS regarding women being able to get away with dressing like total sluts on Halloween is true to some extent, but I’d say that it’s more about dressing to look “hot” more than slutty. I’ve known many a girl who legitimately earned the slut title, and very few of them were sexy dressers, or hot in any way, just horny as hell and eager to share. Most of the women I’ve seen rocking the hotness factor on H’Ween are just letting their hair down and reveling in the freedom that the day allows, sort of like Mardi Gras only with less tittie-flashing. And while we all know that visual attractiveness is relative and strictly subjective — a hideous personality can destroy even a goddess’ looks for me, and a great personality will get me revved up even for a girl with a face like like a fist with eyes — the exuberance and fun of the Halloween transformation can work wonders for even the most unattractive, the sheer fun of the whole thing suffusing the costumed perpetrator.
But in Miss Lohan’s case, she could have really used a second opinion before leaving the house in that getup. She looks like she’s on her way to audition for SPLENDOR IN THE ASS VOL. 16 after downing an entire bottle of Jaegermeister.
And thanks for putting up the shot of the Plastics; even though it’s a vinyl version, the old school Catwoman gear always does it for me. God bless you, Julie Newmar!

It’s quite sad that freedom means wearing tight, short, revealing clothes. Women want to be vixens? But they’re all jammed up? Oh brother.
I had a very nice friend who dressed up as an asshole one year. He wore a white t-shirt that he’d twisted, smeared with brown goo, then let it go and dotted with corn. Very effective visual. He then acted like an asshole all night. And I think that was very liberating for him. It was annoying to me and I eventually yelled at him…

I am totally anti cute, sexy, slutty, or chick-ish costumes for Halloween. I’m also against spending a fortune on a COSTUME that I will likely only wear once…. Seriously people, this is about being Spooky or kooky, not looking fabulous or getting laid! So that is my stance, and I’m sticking to it, BUT it hasn’t always turned out so well for me:
Flashback about 19 years or so to my freshman year at college. I am surrounded by rich beautiful people who are hyper-creative. What do most of them do for Halloween? Cute, sexy, or slutty costumes. One friend went as a baby, complete with a phallus – opps, I mean pacifier, to suck on, Another was a dominatrix, one was Lady Godiva…you get the picture. Me? I was a spider. I put on a black leotard and tights with a little black skirt. I made 6 “legs” from black pantyhose that I stuffed with newspaper and strung together between my arms and legs with black yarn. I wore black gloves, and coated my face and neck with balck make-up, with very dark blood-red lipstick. It was a totally cool costume, and cost virtually nothing. When my then-boyfriend saw me he said “Man, you look scary”. But he meant it in a bad way. He spent the night chatting up the dominatrix. We broke up.
Now, Flash forward about 10 years. My husband and I were invited to a Halloween party by some guy he was working with. Seemed like a decent guy, and we knew one other person who was going… we just needed some costumes. While looking for inspiration I spied the huge roll of brown craft paper we had sitting around the house (I have no memory of WHY…) So I decided that as we are on the rounder end of the human race, we would laugh at ourselves, and go as Couch Potatoes. We cut out potato shapes, drew on some “eyes” and accessorized with a few remotes and a couple of bags of chips. Yeah – that party was full of the “beautiful people” you all know who I am talking about. That was a comfortable evening. We were the Fat Couch Potatoes in a sea of guys who could get away with the skin tight Spiderman and Batman costumes, and sexy, slutty, girly girls.
I could go on and on, but you get the picture…….

why do girls feel the need to try to be the whore verion of everything? one thing I know for sure is that there is no whore firefighter and halloween was at one point in time not about being the raunchiest whore of a angel/cat/fireman/fairy/witch/maid yaddayadda. What happened to people wanting to be realistic things like a witch, an ugly, pimple nose witch? Why be a whore witch? why not just dress as a whore, at least then you can show your pale behemoth legs in fishnets and not go around saying you’re a freaking firefighter for christ sake. That is one thing that will always get me going. LINDSAY get over yourself and start telling people you’re a streetwalker in a firemans hat because you’re not fooling anyone in that outfit.
