| Halloween is the only time of the year you have to dress sexy, PP? you don't have date nights with your husband any other time? |

How sad that you feel this way. I feel bad for you. |

I don't dress overtly sexy on date nights, no. |

| You should dress as a honey badger or corn. Sexy corn! |

That is strange. You won't dress overtly sexy for a date with your spouse but you will for a party with your peers. Makes sense, I guess. Dressing in the "sexy" costumes is a way for women who feel they aren't usually valued for their looks to receive sexual validation. |

On date nights, we are going to dinner and a movie or to another couple's house for dinner. Not really appropriate for the low cut blouse, thigh high slit skirt, etc. The other woman will wonder what's going on, for one thing. |

Get him to go as Bruce Wayne (basically just dressed nice). Get him a Batman t-shirt/boxers/whatever to wear underneath so you guys have a private little "fun" thing to look forward to when you get home!

| Went as a samba dancer when I was 28 but agree with other posters. Once you have kids Halloween is all about them. If it won't make the kids laugh I won't even consider it. |

I think if it's an adult-only party, the adults should dress for their own enjoyment and not for that of the kids who aren't even present. The sad thing about the sexy costumes is though that the adults who wear them aren't really dressing for their own enjoyment, most of the time. They're dressing for the approval/validation of men, which in turn makes them feel good about themselves. |
