What her costume reveals…
By Margot Carmichael Lester
You may not put a lot of thought into what you wear out on Halloween, but — trust me here — the ladies do. We’re super-aware of every subtle meaning a dude might divine from our duds. In other words, we don’t wear anything that sends an unintentional message!
To make sure your radar’s tuned to the right frequency, we asked a team of experts for opinions on this year’s hottest costumes for women. Read on for some surprising insights!
Our expert panel:
Joe Procopio, Chapel Hill, NC-based social commentator and founder of IntrepidMedia.com
Houman Salem, CEO of Temple City, CA-based Forplay, one of the largest Halloween costume distributors in the world
Geri Spencer, Paris-based film costume designer
Naughty Nurse
Procopio: She gets us guys. She’s tapped into that dark place that we men have that roughly resembles what women call emotion. This is the fuel for those fantasies of ours you see on The Man Show, Blink-182 album covers, and Jackass.
Salem: A girl in a naughty nurse costume is a girl who loves a guy in need of saving. But watch out! She may have multiple patients, since anyone with a broken heart or a broken spirit is likely to get her attention. You might have to stay needier than the next guy at all times.

Is anyone else having a hard time with the fact that a woman wrote this? :shrug:
I meant to discuss this before, but this seemed the perfect opportunity to do so.
I recently happened upon a store window that featured a few women's "costumes." One that stood out for me, as I hadn't seen it "sexualized" in prior years (like the sexy witch, nurse, etc.).
A Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz costume--complete with thigh high white leggings, red sparkly platform shoes and teeny, tiny (very short)blue checked skirt. :eyes:
