2012 Hallowe'en Report, Toronto

Despite all the pearl-clutching about hyper-sexualized Hallowe'en costumes, the most common outfit for women seemed to be "whatever I usually wear, plus cat ears." Those who really wanted to make an effort had dug through their wardrobes for something in a leopard print to go with the ears.

The Doll Asylum

I rather like this story about a Portland couple whose annual Hallowe'en decor theme is The Doll Asylum, but I notice most of the comments beneath are OMG think of the children!!.

Which, given that news stories about actual harm being done seem to attract victim-blaming or sick-humour comments, makes me think that most people only post when they disagree with a story.

Possibly this is self-evident and I'm too late to comment upon it.
