The headline says it all – CNN’s new article on the top ten worst “Sexy” Halloween costumes put Ghostbusters at number 10.
The Halloween trend for women, it seems, has been to get sexier and more revealing every year. I’d be lying if I said I think that’s a bad thing, but there’s a problem. Some things should never, ever be made sexy–like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Optimus Prime, or Ghostbusters.
The problem is that not everyone agrees. So there is a Sexy Ghostbuster costume. And a sexy Iron Man getup. And a sexy Optimus Prime outfit.
10. Sexy Ghostbuster
It would be easy to start this one out with a “who you gonna call?” joke, but that would validate that this costume has anything to do with the awesomeness that is “Ghostbusters” aside from a logo. We simply will not do that. The Sexy Ghostbuster costume contains a revealing dress, Ghostbusters-logo hat, and a fake Proton Pack. Because a real Proton Pack would be cost-prohibitive.
Mind you, I think it’s just the lack of caring involved. The same goes for the Rubies costume. Unless you’re a kid (kids get a pass and can wear the Rubies costume all they want – not every kid has a kickass dad that will build them a pack), everybody knows you’re just mailing it in wearing a Sexy Ghostbuster or Adult Ghostbuster costume. At least lose the hat, add some prop accessories, and find yourself a real proton pack. Assuming you can’t make a jumpsuit look good, that is.

At least the sexy Iron Man has a basis from Iron Man 2, the Ironettes from the Stark Expo. But, even then, just no.
Ummm, that “Donkey Punch” girl in that last link……I think I’m in love. Just sayin.
I’m gonna have to agree on this one, some things shouldn’t be “sexy” kinda like if I tried to make a “sexy” ren and stimpy outfit? see???
I’d have to agree that Donkey Punch is really cute, but seeing the pics of hikari_luv in the second to last link just made my day. On top of her fantastic pack and jumpsuit, I just love her expressions when wearing glasses!
I’m all for girls wearing the full jumpsuit, and zipping it down if they want to show a little skin. But the “sexy GB” costume just strikes me as being tacky.
I was quite surprised to see that sexy Optimus Prime in a Party City circular. The sexy Ghostbusters is stupid and I hate hate hate it, but I can see a clear train of thought leading there. It’s an outfit, not precisely a Sexy Female Dan Aykroyd. Who sees Optimus Prime and thinks “yeah, he’s okay, but I wish he had a smokin’ bod”? Seriously?!
I have, however, seen a sexy “Bob the Builder” outfit-mass produced, mind you-and it still takes the creepy cake.
You know, we’re five comments in and NO ONE noticed that the referenced article is from CNET *not* CNN!
I think the pics of all the pretty girlies got some us a wee bit distracted.
There was text around those pics of scantily clad women? Where?
I like the sexy ghostbusters outfit for the ladies minus the hat!
the hat’s lame
