Sexy Nurse Costumes: Okay or Not?

[5M0K3]

What's your view on the whole stereotype of the "sexy nurse"? "Naughty police officer"? Do you think it's *really* offensive, or do you find it funny?

[VerDeTerre]

It might depend on the venue. I wouldn't want to see it at a kids' party or on children, for example. It might also depend on how over the top the costume is.

[simbalena]

It's not offensive or funny... just very unoriginal and wreaks of desperation.

... kind of like Courtney Stodden!

[5M0K3]

Haha, yeah that's true.

[SimsLover50]

I think its fine- for adults. I wouldn't wear one personally, but they are popular, and I'm ok with that.

[kristie91]

For adults its okay but I wouldn't want kids wearing that kind of stuff. Also there is a limit.. if its too revealing it should be worn in the bedroom for like role play or something not a Halloween costume.

[5M0K3]

But I'm seeing teenagers dress like that! Not even teenagers- more like 13, 14 area.

[el_flel]

13 and 14 year olds are teenagers ;).

I don't find it offensive at all.Whilst I've never owned a "sexy" police officer or nurse costume, I have worn similar fancy dress in the past. It's just a bit of fun.

[Spitfire Mouse]

I find them more annoying than offensive really. I agree they're unoriginal and the whole "sexy <insert choice>" is a very tiresome cliché. But whatever floats your boat at a grown-up party.

Really my only problem with them is that it seems the "powers that be" in the costuming world appear to believe that those are the ONLY costumes adult women want to buy. What about some other choices for those of us that either don't like them or don't fit into them?

[5M0K3]

But seriously... 13 year olds?! I mean, I'm not THAT old, to wear I hate the new generation (although I DO hate the new generation) and complain about how "back in the day" there was a thing called MODESTY, but seriously... Not to mention I've heard my friend's daughter talk about "Ugh, when am I going to lose my virginity!" even though she's only ten... It's disgusting to me.

Shouldn't you be complaining about your generation? After all, they're the ones raising the kids. Our biology hasn't changed and therefor whatever things you don't like about children today is due to to the adults. Children will learn these behaviors from their parents, from their friends (whose parents taught them), and from the media (again, it's the parents job to restrict what their children can view). It's not the kids buying skanky costumes!

[lethifold]

I agree with most of the people in this thread: sexy nurse costumes are fine. A little cliche, but I don't think they're offensive unless it's reduced to nipple tape and a thong. And, yes, I've seen that sort of sexy nurse's costume, and, yes, it was a bit much for a Halloween party.

My mother has raised me that, when it comes to costumes and going out, it's always better to be classy and still a little original, which is why I've never even thought about donning a sexy nurse/maid/police officer costume. Instead, I'll dress as the TARDIS, for example, but rather than look ridiculous in a giant blue box, I'll adapt pieces of clothing I have and make little signs to indicate what I am. My parents are always willing to help with things like that, whereas a lot of others just want their kid to stop nagging them and therefore buy the sexy nurse's costume for their thirteen year old.

It's down to parenting when it gets to the kids who are that young, but I've never seen a thirteen year old in a costume that skanky.

But I'm not the one raising them. And in all honesty, you seriously have to cut the parents some slack. Kids are crazy. They were when I was young. When my parents were young. They always will be. But some things will be deemed as "cool" and whether the parents like it or not, the kids will find a way to get into it themselves. I've seen people half my age selling drugs and their bodies before. In some cases it is my generation's fault, but in other cases it's the kid. Hormones and what not. Makes them out of control.

[Lavaster]

Slutty costumes are not scary. They're not for Halloween. Girls only wear it to show off to perverted boys... in my opinion, anyway. My parents would NEVER let me step out in a slutty costume, I think... well, I don't want to, anyway.
Fairy princess costumes for little girls, I can understand, but not slutty costumes.
Oh, does anyone else think the prices for costumes totally inflated this year?

[5M0K3]

*I* pressed the love button on the comment above me. You remember that.

Okay... but there's no need to hate on the younger generation when you admit that you acted that way also. Parents can't stop everything, but a good and attentive parent can keep them on the right path. For example, teaching them to think for themselves, realize the possible dangers and not do something just because it's cool.

I'm not sure how one would communicate to a young teen that it's ok for an adult to dress that way and not a teen, but it does seem totally inappropriate for a young girl. I would worry that a girl wearing that kind of costume would not be making a joke and would be looking for the wrong kind of attention. Sad about your friend's daughter. Have you talked to her?

Her mom gave her "the talk" but I don't think she's really changed her mind. But I think it's just a phase right now. When I was 17 I went through a "I'm still a goddamned virgin" phase... However I was 17, she's 10. But still, kids go through phases, so pretty much as long as her mom keeps her from... Having sex, then it'll eventually passed.

It almost sounds like she thinks there's something wrong with being a virgin. She might need more than one talk. Ten - geesh!

And that's what straight jackets are for!

[5M0K3]

Yeah... I told her that I lost it when I was 25 but she thinks that you're 'old and wrinkly' when you're 25. But with this it's hard, because we can't tell her that having sex at a young age can get you pregnant and possibly ruin your life, because she knows her mom had her at 19, so knowing her, I'd say she'd think that what we're REALLY saying it, 'you ruined your mom's life'. But when I was 13 I had a friend who had a baby, and after she had her she said it did ruin her life, especially since she couldn't go to school anymore (at least not normal school while in the showing stages of pregnancy, or right after she had the baby) and I'm not really sure what happened to her now, but that's coming from someone who was affected by teenage pregnancy. (And ironically she always dressed up as a 'sexy' something for Halloween!) I'm not saying that kids dressing up as a 'sexy nurse' makes them pre-teen moms, but it definitely is something to consider.

[BlakeS5678]

Tell her to watch the miserable ones on 16 and pregnant. Every single last one of them regrets having an underage pregnancy. And, if all else fails don't forget the straight jacket! *Goes makes straight jacket to send to 5MOK3*

I guess you could point out that there's a big difference between 10 and 19. And it's not just pregnancy that she needs to be careful about; there's venereal disease plus the confusion of self that comes from being intimate with someone you are not actually emotionally intimate with. That's a tough one to explain to a child.

True. She doesn't understand actually loving someone (in a romantic way of course) because she's never been in love. I don't think she understands that that's a very... Intimate thing, and should only be done when in love (my views). I'm not saying you should wait until marriage, but at least wait until you're in love and ready to commit yourself to whatever happens next.

There's a whole market for "Sexy <insert menial title>" costumes that I plan to jump on. Sexy gas station attendant. Sexy terrorist. Sexy welfare cheat. Sexy garbageman. Sexy klansperson. Sexy prostitute. Sexy street prostitute. Sexy soap opera extra.

Sexy slot machine?

I went to Nightmare On Grayson (San Antonio thing, I doubt it's anywhere else, hence it's on Grayson street) and there was this group of what looked like 18, 19 year old girls all wearing slutty... Random things. I saw...

The slutty sailor, the slutty teacher, slutty disney princess (such a mockery was made of Jasmine!), slutty cavewoman, slutty... um, slut?

Not as bad as Katie Price though, she goes to parties, in what looks like, her undies :D .

[LadyKombucha]

depends on the costume. nurse or policewoman doesn't bother me, but i honestly find schoolgirl outfits disturbing as the idea that they are purposely sexualising something that represents a child is, to me, perverted. i saw a "sexy wednesday adams" outfit in a store, and that grossed me out. Wednesday was a child. they are trying to make a slut version of a child. that is sick.

and as for the ten year old virgin debate. a large part of it is the parents, but almost as big is society now a days. when i was ten, i was still playing pokemon. i didn't have my first crush until i was 15, and i didn't have sex til i was 17. but now, kids are exposed to it a lot more. when me and a friend were shopping for stuff for her baby boy, we saw so many clothes in the childrens section aimed at litle girls that were quite frankly, disgusting. and they're advertised at kids, so of course, the kids want them. but a good parent won't give in, and even better, will teach a child why those things are wrong. too many parents just try the "because i said so" approach, which doesn't work. don't just tell a child no, tell them why not.
a great series that covers this is Channel 4's stop pimping our kids documentary series, run by the same people who did the sex education show. when i watch some of the questions the teens on that show ask it makes me want to smack my head against a wall. a lot of it is just common bloody sense. why they call it common sense, i don't know, because it seems to be anything but common.

[Lance]

I don't think sexy schoolgirl outfits or naughty disney characters to be offensive.
Perhaps my perception on that point differs from yours, but... how should I word it... I don't link those things with *children*, I link them with my own childhood memories. And the memories kind of age with the person or something like that :)

What of *wrong* clothes for little girls, they are made not for actual purpose of being sexy, but to resemble adults' clothing. Children can't really *feel* yet why women wear revealing clothes, but they already want to imitate that. And, as you've said, and I wholeheartedly agree, explanations are needed. A lot of explanations.

[5M0K3]

i saw a "sexy wednesday adams" outfit in a store.

I honestly don't know what to say. Just... Ew.

[painkillerdeb]

I saw that sexy Wednesday Adams too being talked up for this past Halloween. I was reading this whole post just shaking my head. But they said it before "Sex sells". I don't agree with it but that is they type of world we are in.

[5M0K3]

My nephew, who's 14 years old, refuses to go trick-or-treating, partying, go to haunted houses, whatever, with his friends on Halloween, and he's told me that they always bring girls dressed like sluts and always ends up in a make out party or something worse. He said exactly to me:
"Please, please, PLEASE, let me be with you and your friends on Halloween. Last time I went with my friends ((this was when he was 12, and the last Halloween, when he was 11, he went with his friends)) all they even thought of was girls! They wolf whistled any girl who walked by, they met these random teenage girls, and LIED about our ages to them! He told them we were 15, ((remember, he was 11!)) and started saying all this perverted stuff to them - I couldn't stand it!"
He started crying and I just felt so bad for him. He still hangs out with those boys, but I've met them before, and when it's NOT Halloween they're pretty normal kids. (I have nothing against Halloween!)

[painkillerdeb]

Here they trick or treat a few days before Halloween and I answered the door to a 12 year (I think) old dressed like a 20 year old sexy version of Princess Jasmine. All I could think of was what the heck was parents thinking?

Was she by herself? Or were her parents/friends with her?

[painkillerdeb]

She had a younger girl with her when I looked out I didn't see any adults.

[5M0K3]

A younger girl?! That just seems kinda messed up. Was the younger girl dressed up?

[painkillerdeb]

Yeah she looked about 6 and was in a normal kiddie costume and yeah it is pretty messed up. I just shook my head.

Wait, are you really trying to tell us of a 14-years old male teen who cries because his friends say aloud they want to f*ck girls?
Well, I've been through my teenage boyhood and you should realize that that kind of behavior is widely accepted among *normal kids*, so I think that's not all of the story. I would guess the boys were drunk and/or violent or perhaps they've been forcing him into something.

As for "sexy" Jasmine and "where the parents were", remember, kids don't always dress what their parents prepared for them. There're so many ways to trick the parents...

He's a nice kid. It's like, he's "hidden" from the world, but he takes his life seriously and he's gotten drunk before (while I was supposed to be the responsible adult) and he's had a girlfriend before, he's a normal teenage boy, the only difference being - as far as I know - isn't completely concentrated on sex. My sister had him when she was 16, and he - obviously - knows that, and he's told me that's not how he wants to live his life, so he tries to stay a way from anything involving sex (especially in that circumstance). And he's told me he has a hard time saying "no" to people. I don't know how good it is for him to be hidden from the real world, but it's much better than having some horny, pubescent teen.
