I’m not some huge fan of Halloween, mostly because I’m not one of those people who enjoy being scared. I get freaked out pretty easily – I was traumatized by Creepshow as a child, and Paranormal Activity as an adult. It’s even difficult for me to watch the “Best of Horror Films” specials, because even the brief clips of scary movies freak me out. The area that I live in has a decent number of kids, but they don’t even get to go trick-or-treating like I used to – most Halloweens, the local churches throw parties for the kids, so they won’t be out on the streets. So I don’t even get to enjoy handing out candy, unfortunately.
But! I do enjoy looking at costumes. I admire the work, the time, the effort some people take into dressing up for Halloween. But things have changed since I was a kid – now, every adult woman seems to use Halloween as an excuse to get dressed up in a “slutty” version of a costume. Here are two great examples – Slutty Marie Antoinette versus Slutty Poison Ivy. Otherwise known as AnnaLynne McCord versus Kim Kardashian.
I think I’m going to give Kim credit for keeping her costume pretty true to the character, plus the Poison Ivy dress looks very well-made. AnnaLynne as Marie Antoinette… YIKES. And she and her sisters all did the “period” costumes too, so they look like corpse extras from Dangerous Liaisons. I give AnnaLynne points for originality (I guess), but I give Kim points for actually looking better/cuter.

I think they both look great! And I’m not a fan of either. Although, I have always wanted to wear a marie-antoinette-inspired outfit, (doesn’t it seem like such fun?!), so I would say AnnaLynne’s is better.
I can’t get past Annalynne’s…um…. eyelashes? Her whole face is way overdone. Otherwise, the costume is great.
I don’t know why Kaiser describes Annalynne’s costume as slutty. Huh? Kim’s face and body both look too mature and old for that costume.
That’s about the closest Kim will ever get to being Ivy League.
Annalynne’s costume looks fun, as does the trio of sistas, but the face is over done.
The waist down on Katfaces costume is unflattering makes her hips look wide. Annalynne looks way better.
They both look fine. Even demure I would say. Poison Ivy often wears a skintight costumes, accentuating every female inch of her body (Uma Thurman is a good example for that) and in the comics she wears almost a bathing suit and her cleavage is much more prominent.
And the M-A outfit is quite ok too, fine it’s short but I don’t feel it’s slutty. She barely has cleavage and she showes some leg, quick call the police!
Damn, women can’t even wear a slighty revealing costume for Halloween no less without being called names??? Maybe women should revert to wearing a white sheet and go as “ghosts” so they wouldn’t be called sluts. And I don’t even like those two for various reasons…
There are worse costumes than those…
LOL@Kaboom…and so true!
AnnaLynne McCord creeps me out on a regular day, so seeing her in that getup is equally terrifying. Too overdone. Kim looks good. Wonder what hubby went as. Lurch?
AnnaLynne’s makeup is way overdone, but I just LOVE the costumes they are wearing!
Both of them could have found better costumes but Kardashian’s wasn’t very flattering for that huge ass of hers.
Annalynne, by a mile. She and her sisters look cute (although I would have gone floor-length) and the dresses are imaginative and fun. Kim looks cheap.
For only the second or third time, I actually agree with Kaiser (only on the slutty costume part – I LOVE horror movies!!). The Marie Antoinette costume could have had a long, gorgeous skirt. Why do many women feel the need to wear a short skirt and have “the girls” out on Halloween? I guess they are letting out their inner freak. The sisters look more like Victorian courtesans than royalty. And Kim’s thighs are too big to be encased in shiny hose. Why not wear a green catsuit with ivy leaves embroidered on it? That would provide more coverage and make her appear taller/slimmer. She does have mad skills at applying a lace front wig though. (That’s my positive comment).
put me down for a “looks slutty” vote. dont like either costume. I am another one who does not understand the need to look like a whore on halloween. Trust me, i’m no staunch conservative prude, but to me, halloween costumes have taken a slutty, whorish turn a few years ago and i’m done with it.
Annalynne, just on the principle that Kim K is always crappy and overdone.
I think a lot of women do “slutty” costumes because they can’t stand looking imperfect and are somewhat insecure. It’s boring and stupid. Look at Heidi Klum’s awesome costumes every year – not sexy, just unique and interesting.
I didn’t know Kim could even wear any more makeup than she normally does… Bravo to whoever spent six hours spackling that billboard of a forehead.
I like Kim with the red hair, somehow.
Really don’t care for Annalynne
I’m with you, I don’t like Halloween either. But my reason is that I hate dressing up and I can’t stand that women use this as an excuse to look like the whores they want to be. I was at a party last night and there were 2 “sexy” sailors, a “sexy” bride of Frankenstein (I’m assuming that’s what she was because I HATE that bitch and didn’t want to look at her), a “sexy” Wilma, a “sexy” jungle woman, etc. Oh and there was one that I’m assumin was a straight up hooker. BUT I couldn’t tell if it was for play or pay it was that convincing.
Yea Heidi Klum always wins in my book. Her costumes are creative and stunning.
The Marie Antoinette costumes are dreadful. They look more like really bad cheap17th century pirate women then stunning french royalty. The hair and the makeup are terrible.
They all look like shit, IMO.
What common, boring costumes. YES, lets all do slutty historical figures OR Batman characters! Oooooo, so original.
Oh dear God!
That is all.
I agree that many women have taken to dressing slutty for Halloween. To me, though, these two are not as slutty looking as some of the moms I’ve seen at the local zoo on Halloween. I think their costumes aren’t bad, compared to what I’ve seen. I do wish women would realize that displaying their bodies isn’t the only way to get attention.
Kim should superglue that thing to her face
Actually for “Slutoween” costumes these are pretty tame. Shocking from a Kardashian
I agree – AnnaLynne’s costume is totally slutty! Marie Antoinette did not have a dress that cut off 2-inches past her vadge. If you want to wear something like that, pick a different character to dress up as. You can dress as a cat, a devil – whatever, and be revealing. But I hate “slutty” historical characters or things like slutty nurse, slutty cop, etc. I loved when Amanda Seyfried dressed up in a huge furry dog costume last year – a nice counter to the costumes over the last few years. (although she could have been dressing up as a “furry” 😉 )
WHY CATFACE? WHY?
Now I have to work my brain for a new name and my passion for red hair just went down the drain. So Annalynne for sure.
I don’t quite understand why these costumes are slutty? Is it slutty to wear a minidress and heels? I saw much, much worse last night at the bar, from a jailbird that was basically wearing two tube tops and f-me heels, to stripper zombie who thought that white body paint and a string bikini made a good costume. I think the girls look great. I was a cute lil beer wench last night, I’ll admit I had to wear leggings cause I didn’t like that thought of flashing my lady bits. And as far as the comment that said ‘dressing up like the sluts they want to be’, bet your man wished you wanted to be slutty sometimes. I am happily married and I can tell you my hubby likes nothing better than when I get all tarted up and we go out. It’s exciting in a way. Don’t hate, just find a way to have your own fun without being jealous. Happy Halloween everybody =)
The 18th cent. sluts are cute, but that wide hipped poison ivy costume-ghastly.
BTW: Halloween hasnt already happened yet, so this is not “what they wore for Halloween” . . .
It’s Halloween people! it’s about having fun and both women look like they are having fun. Who cares if they look slutty. It’s Halloween! Lighten up. Kim looks great. And all three sisters look great. It’s a coustume not the academy awards.
Both costumes are good, but there is something about AnnaLynne McCord that really irritates the crap out of me!
In all fairness, I’ve never had the patience to sit through a new 90210, but something about the way she presents herself seems both slutty and desperate for attention. In summary, I’ll have to give my vote to Kim (begrudgingly)
I like Kim’s better. Can’t believe I said that, but her makeup and hair are great. Annalynne’s is horrid.
I’m sorry, but is has become slutoween. We went shopping to get a couple of things for our kids and every female costume was sexy this or sexy that. All skirts were barely ass covering. Costumes can be awesome and sexy…or not, maybe funny. But going out basically naked, no!
At our premiere party Friday night, we were in this roped off section of a huge club in SF. We weren’t in costume, but the rest of the club was and there were practically naked chicks everywhere. Less than swimsuits.
I don’t see slutty here. I’ve seen women go much sluttier that this, and I’ve seen slutty on bodies that make it more “horrifying” than “sexy.” I think Annalynne and sisters look adorable and fun. I don’t like KK’s costume, it looks like a lot of work went into it but it still misses the mark somehow.
it’s the only time kim looks “decent” with her usual pancake make-up, and the wig covers her f uped hairline. Her fat ass needed a corset.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but Kim looks the less slutty of the two. AnnaLynne is flashing too much boobs along with too much leg. You can’t do both, dear, its too distracting.
I think the important thing to point out is that Kim Kardashian looks better as Poison Ivy than Anne Hathaway does as Catwoman.
I tend to dress on the relatively conservative side when I go out, seeing as how I don’t want to project an image of myself that doesn’t fall in line with my personality…
…but every now and then I think, ‘gosh, wouldn’t it be fun to have an excuse to dress up in a totally frivolous sexy outfit and do crazy makeup (more for my own gratification than anything else)?’ And thus, I don’t mind Slutoween.
Didn’t think that Kardashian needed a Halloween costume; when it comes to garish, she fulfils garish and horrendous all year round.
Going with Kim, but just barely. Personally, we dress up every year and go to a party and it is frustrating there are so few decent, non-slutty costumes available.
Kim Kardashian’s eyes look amazing.
Kim K beats her IMO. AnnaLynne’s makeup is all wrong and the dress looks like leftovers from Moulin Rouge. Plus, I’m a sucker for superheroes and their archnemeses.
I like Annalynne’s costume itself better, but I think Kim pulled hers off better. Except the nude heels, I feel like she could have done something more interesting there
Both look ridiculous but at least AnnaLynne has some friends to look stupid with her. Kim actually manages to look more hilarious than Uma Thurman in Batman & Robin.
I like them both with some small adjustments. Kim could have lost the bracelets and AnnaLynn should have lost the spiderlashes and added a beauty mark. Kim looks like she lost some weight. Marriage woes?
I don’t necessarily think it’s the “slutty” part that I hate most (although I do think that it’s very unnecessary) but rather the fact that all of these sluttly versions of costumes showing boobs, butt, and leg have become completely unoriginal. If you really want to do something different try NOT being a slut for Halloween. Honestly I don’t think I would’ve passed up the chance to do a huge over-the-top M.A. gown tp instead do this little, tarty mini dress!
Kim’s is definitely better — the colors make it so much more appealing! Anna Lynne just looks washed out.
I just think the whole “sexy costume” thing is so overplayed- it’s a joke and boring now.
I’m gonna be the ugliest zombie you’ve ever seen…
I think Kim K looks better. Looks like she put more effort into this outfit than her marriage so she wins!
“…but every now and then I think, ‘gosh, wouldn’t it be fun to have an excuse to dress up in a totally frivolous sexy outfit and do crazy makeup (more for my own gratification than anything else)?’ And thus, I don’t mind Slutoween.” <– This is me! haha. But I don’t have the money to dress up. Costumes can get expensive. Plus, I have babies to take trick or treating.
I don’t think they look slutty at all. Kim actually looks pretty demure considering what she normally wears.
AM looks always looks corpsey…but this takes the cake!
Costumes have gotten ridiculous. I was trying to find a cat costume for my *3 year old* and there were ‘slutty cat’ costumes for toddlers! Including one made by Bratz. Just no!
Is Kim trying get Nolan to offer her the part of Ivy? I doubt she’s a comic book fan so I can’t see why she’d pick something that hasn’t been culturally relevant since Uma played Ivy back in the 90’s.
Kim looks the best… love her, and hope the best for her too..
I’ve noticed that Kaiser isn’t as harsh on KK as she was in the past. I would even venture to say she’s starting to like her.
The Celebitchy commenters are going to give me a complex.
I don’t like KK as a person, but I think her body is bangin. She doesn’t know how to dress for it at all, but y’all keep talking about wide hips and being short like it’s a bad thing.
When I saw her pic I thought “dang girl, too bad it’s a shitty costume and you suck bc you’re hot.”
I have a ghetto booty and big hips, and I think I am sexy as hell until I come on this site. There is plenty to critique about KK without bashing curvy ladies, yes?
AnnaLynne wins hands down for me. Sure, her makeup is overdone, but it is Halloween. Kim’s face looks overdone everyday. Plus, Kim used the move Poison Ivy look which is the worst representation of the character (yes, comic geek here). It is just horrendous. AnnaLynne’s is cute and I would love to have.
Kims costume represents her private part. If you touch it surely you will end up with a bad itchy rash!
I’m another person who doesn’t care much about Halloween (also not enjoying being scared at all), but as an artist & cosplayer enthusiast, I can always appreciate the creativity & effort that go into costumes.
(Warning – I… appear to be in an unusually bitchy mood today. I know it’s par for the course/tame, especially with the KK’s, but you have been warned.)
I felt something was missing from Kim’s. So much effort on the head area, & a decent dress… But then those God-awful-nude-colored-hyper-platform heals? (Is she trying to frighten us (like Lady Gaga), constantly on the brink of FOOT-suicide? I’d be SHOCKED if their health insurance policies don’t include an extra charge/fee specifically because of those damned shoes). (End of rant ) xD
It’s like she didn’t put any thought into the lower half of the outfit. (Perhaps she thought the mysterious, unnatural levitation of her large ‘real’ ass counted as part of the costume?) There was so much potential with this theme, though! She couldnt add some vines wound around her legs or up from her shoes, not even ‘painted on’ either her skin or tights? (Lord knows the Tranny makeup artist she uses is *especially* good at creating illusions)… Or even just attaching some kind of vine around her shoe/ankle for a small touch.
I realize this is during the tragic end of her fake marriage, but hey. The better the costume, the more people/photographers will approach, thus more opportunities for her ‘sad eyes’ & ‘sorrowful sighs’ to get attention & result in an international pity party.
