Halloween Continues To Sex-ify Costumes That Really Shouldn't Be Sexy

Posted October 21, 2009 | 01:06 PM (EST)


Yes yes, Halloween has become a national excuse for women to look slutty. What amazes us, though, is the holiday's uncanny ability to take totally totally un-sexy things (Taxis, people. Actual taxi cabs.) and tart them up.
