naughty robot


i'd like to broach a sensitive subject. i am upset that halloween has become so completely sexualized for women. there used to be a day when a girl could dress like a rubik's cube and still get some digits. maybe go home with one of these guys:

but now, we've got be a naughty bee keeper or a dirty little accountant. we can't just show up as a tampon or an ant hill and get the same level of play. i know my friend regan won't mind me telling you that she got absolutely no attention when she dressed up as gilligan a few years back. i think if i remember correctly, she felt "fucking invisible" and hung out solo in a crowded boston bar among legions of bustiers and thigh highs, wondering why she chose that long-sleeved red rugby shirt and white fishing hat combo.

so i am asking you ladies to fight the power this year and dress like a sack of potatoes. if every girl does it, we can reclaim this otherwise fabulous holiday. because if not for the courage of the fearless few, the minnow would be lost. the minnow would be lost.
