Megan Finnerty finds evidence that sexy halloween costumes are in decline. Amanda Hess opines:

When I see women dressed as sexualized fast food sauces, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. In the new Sexy Halloween economy, the line between sexy and ironic appears to have evaporated. There’s something hopeful about that—this new permutation of the trend rejects plastic corporate packaging and values a woman’s cleverness instead. As long as she still looks hot.

For a lighter critique, this video "has been making the viral Internet rounds that chides women (in a catchy way!) not to dress like slutty tramps on Halloween." The above image is from Buzzfeed's "14 Beloved Children's Characters Turned 'Sexy' Halloween Costumes."
