The "Slut-o-ween" concept can be pretty freakin' funny, particularly if it's turned on its head. If a hairy guy dons one of these costumes...or a butch lesbian. I've tried for a while to get my 5'11" fairly butch partner to dress up in a French maid's outfit for Halloween. "That's not funny," she says. Oh, but it is!
Halloween, for the greater non-pagan community is meant to be a let-your-hair-down, fun, festive occasion, whether for kids or adults. (For many pagans, of course, it has spiritual significance as well.)
Why the Times and now Salon has to analyze the slutty custome issue to death is beyond me. If you want a political angle, how about how some Christian groups see it as a devil-worshipping opportunity and try to ban it?
