Week 6 - Task 2: Costumes too sexy for kids?



Nowday, customes for Halloween become too sexy for kids, younger and younger. Such as: Playboy cupid, French maid, Pirate, Gothic Naughty nurse, Fallen angle, Corset Fairy Teen...are made for children. According to the costume designer, nowaday, kids are being influenced by fashion and music like some actress such as: Britney Spears, Hanna Montana,...... so their job is making the costumes which follow the trend of fashion and by this occasion, they design costumes that children want to buy. But after all, the dicisions of their parents are the most important whether they want to dress up like that.

I chose this video. 1st, because it refers to Halloween :D. 2nd: I love costumes in Halloween day, that's why I was a little shock when I saw this video....Costumes are very important, it's like a symbol of your character, so if I had children, I would not let my daughter or son dress up like that....

really? I have never heard about that. I have thought that only dults must be too sexy in this day when they wear custumes to join the parties, and kids only wear cute custumes like animals and cartoon characters.

Yes,I think it's a little bit sexy for kids.Kid's costumes should be more cute and fun.It's really a wrong message for us that Halloween costumes mean sexy.No more funny and cute.Anyway,the most important is everyone like their costumes and enjoy on that day.

I am very surpriesd that the kids dressed up as Playboy, Gothic Naughty nurse in the Halloween party. I think it is a serious problem. First, the kids are influeced by bad custom. As they grow up, they are likely to become bad guys. The next thing, as money is the most important thing to businessmen, as long as they earn money, they can do anything, even sell the sexy cartoons, so more sexy catoons is made out, more bad effects to teenagers, so the government should do something on this problom. As Jodi said, I also wouldn't want my children to dress up like this!!!

I think the costume for kids absolutely cute and funny. Halloween is for kids(I think so)and it must be for fun. So they need sexy costume for nothing. Halloween costumes is not have too serious but I don't think sexy good for kids
