Borderline Bad Halloween Costumes for Kids: Holly Golightly

Listen, we love Breakfast at Tiffany’s as much as the next person. And Holly Golightly is an iconic character! But it doesn’t change the fact that she was kind of an escort

There’s not much to add here. Pro-tip: don’t dress your kids up as terrorists/suicide bombers/murderers. Just as a general rule.

Major Flirt costume for girls

Hey, did you know women can serve openly in the military, and NOT just as eye-candy for the men? GTFO with this.

“Cozy” Bat

First of all, that doesn’t look cozy. It looks cold. Also, sexy bats aren’t a thing, especially not for young kids.

Bad Spirit Cheerleader

Oooooooh, a bad spirit cheerleader! You can tell by her exposed midriff, black and white uniform, and clenched fist, that this girl is bad news. Why is this a thing?

Girl’s Devil Costume (Born Bad Child)

Ok, kids dressing up as the devil is already pretty problematic. But making it sexy? For girls and tweens? We don’t think the devil wears tulle and sequins.

Cop Cutie

Again, do people not know that women serve in law enforcement agencies all over the country? Spoiler alert: they do! And they don’t wear dresses and leggings while on duty. 

Baby Cigarette

It’s hard to even know where begin with how fucking AWFUL this costume is, tbh. But the fact that it’s sold out in size 0-6 months is a good place to start.

Ray Rice (or any other wife-beater and domestic abuser)

HAHAHAHAHA, what’s funnier than a man who beat the shit out of his girlfriend on an elevator? SO MANY THINGS. The blackface is a disgusting and completely unsurprising touch. 

Marijuana Plant

Siiiiiiiiiigh. “What is little Jenny going to be for her first Halloween?” “Weed, he he he.” Like, that conversation should never take place.

Pretty Woman

Again, LOVE Pretty Woman. But Vivian WAS A PROSTITUTE. 

Hitler

Another one of those that we feel is pretty obvious? Not funny. Not ever.
