HALLOWEEN - A
SEXY HOLIDAY |
|
Halloween
has always been very popular with adults, but over recent
years, the level of anticipation and participation by them has grown
by leaps and bounds. And there's a very good reason why, its that one
special night of the year
that grown-ups can dress up as just about any fantasy character or
creature they want and have
their
Halloween persona excepted.
According to a recent
Halloween survey, more
than seventy-five percent of adults who participate in
Halloween are going to wear a
costume as part of their merrymaking.
This popularity goes
far beyond
helping the kids select their own costumes and handing out
candy. We see more and more adults in costume when they
hand out their treats at the front door, and many are even going
out trick or treating themselves, often in groups. Many businesses hold
an annual
Halloween
Office Party and allow, if not encourage, their employees to wear
costumes to work as part of the Halloween spirit, not to
mention promoting their business. Night
clubs hold adult costume contests with some pretty hefty prizes for
the best costumed person and/or couple.
But most of all, it has also
become a social event for donning some spooky or mystical
wardrobe and heading out to Halloween parties. Whether at someone's home,
a local
night club or the office, just about everyone enjoys the Halloween
festivities.
Halloween parties abound on and around October 31st. every
year. Costume clad men and women frolicking in the
streets, filling local night clubs for a costume party and
dance, mingling at a friends home-held Halloween party and
attending haunted attractions all make this a party holiday.
The most popular years are when Halloween falls on either a Friday or Saturday for obvious reasons.
Halloween 2014
will fall on a Friday, allowing for a week-end of fun. This
means that Halloween 2016 will fall on a Saturday, which has
the same advantages. There won't be another Saturday
Halloween until 2020, we'll be missing a Friday Halloween
because of Leap Year in 2016. So, enjoy it when you can!
Take the kids out for trick-or-treating on Friday night,
maybe an adult party afterward or on Saturday. This is the
best time for Halloween since you have an extra day or two
to stretch out the fun. You'll find if you live in a big
city, like Las Vegas or Los Angeles, that there are a ton of
festivities for adults to attend which allows for couples
and singles alike to live out their fantasies for not one
but two or three nights.
While
traditionally filled with ghouls, goblins, ghosts and other
scary characters, Halloween night has become a very sexy
holiday, particularly for women. Fanciful costumes and
exotic makeup portraying enchanting Witches and
seductive Vampires are always a great choice, and let us not
forget the Mistress of the Dark herself,
Elvira.
That is one of the most worn costumes by women year after
year and is it any wonder? Elvira is as iconic as they come
for Halloween!
We are also
seeing more and more Halloween Balls and organized parties
being put on that push the limits and let adults be as sexy
as they want to be. People from every walk of life are
joining in and living out a fantasy for a night that they
would never normally even think about in every day life and
looking forward to the next Halloween so they can push the
envelope even further. From the sexiest, smallest costumes
for both men and women to entire body painting as their
costume, adults are going wild for Halloween.
Its also a perfect time for
couples to dress up together
as anything they want to be from a Mad
Scientist
and Nurse to a Playboy and his Bunny, the possibilities
seem endless! Every year you'll find new
versions of Halloween costumes, from very sexy witch costumes to
zombies, vampires, nurses,
firewomen, pirates, Viking queens, super heroes, you name it!
If you want to be it, you can find a costume or make one to
fit your needs, wants and desires. Halloween costume shops
open up all over the country at this time of year and there
are many year round costume stores online. The biggest
problem that you'll have is deciding what to be, if you want
to do a couples costume or if you are a single person what
can you pick up to attract the most attention. Check out our
Make-up and Costumes
section for more ideas!
Society as a
whole seems to have some reflection on this. The more
society seems to except everyday changes in the norm, such
as grandmas with tattoos, moms with little kids dressed out
shopping in an outfit best suited for the beach, changes in
everyday clothing that would not have been acceptable even
20 years ago, it seems to have an effect on adults when
making a decision on a Halloween costume. On one hand you
have that aspect to society and on the other, you have a
part of society that has become even more puritanical than
it used to be. As a whole, our country as has always been
that way and it seems as the years go by each side gets more
extreme. People are becoming more daring and stepping
outside the box in everyday life, so it goes with Halloween.
 People
with more out
going personalities have always loved the holiday, but those who
are socially shy often see
Halloween as an opportunity to unshackle themselves from
their personal inhibitions and be a little bit naughty. Just like
the tale of the normally reserved librarian, who takes on a
very different
persona on the weekend, we have a close friend of who is
normally very
quite and shy, but changes completely around Halloween,
transforming herself into a sexy vixen full of mischief. She
always puts together a sexy costume and makeup ensemble as
either an alluring
witch or seductive vampire.
And why
not, Halloween is the one time of the year that
almost anything goes, allowing people to live out fantasies, if only for this one
special night.
Unlike other holidays, the social freedom and acceptance of
Halloween gives people who are normally stressed out and/or emotionally restrained a chance to
"let
loose", get spooky, scary, naughty and even sexy without being judged. It's
simply an assumed persona for a night of
celebration. It
allows a person to blow off steam and throw off the mantle
of everyday life and be something else for even just one
night. That's enough for most people, to be able to cut
loose, have fun and do something and be something that they
wouldn't normally be at any other time of the year.
Adults love
Halloween just as much, if not more, than kids do and with
good reason! Some adults have great memories of Halloween
from when they were growing up and want to continue to enjoy
it every year. Others are finding out what they missed
growing up and making up for lost time. With everyday life
in such turmoil right now, life is hard enough to take on a
daily basis. Being whatever you want to be , going out with
friends to a Halloween Ball or party and just having a good
time lets them forget the stress that they are normally
under so we ay "Let your freak flag fly!"
Make sure that this
Halloween you select your favorite Halloween alter-ego and have fun!
