While it’s probably too early to be dreaming up your next Halloween costume, the people behind the seemingly unlimited supply of All Hallow’s Eve garb are well underway making a new batch of offensive, trashy and just plain stupid disguises.
Among this year’s “trendy” costumes is one depicting Caitlyn Jenner in her iconic Vanity Fair cover.
“You probably won’t break any Twitter records when you wear this outfit like Caitlyn did,” the costume description reads, “but you’ll be sure to get a few laughs out of your friends and the other guests at the get together.”
The “I Am Cait” costume is sold by retailer Spirit Halloween, the same company behind the “Pocahottie” costume that came under fire last year for trivializing Indigenous women as sexual objects.

So, I can look for New Orleans to cancel all the “men in drag” festival events this year, right?
Finally, someone here understands the difference between News and Chat.
Thank you.
You simply can’t allow any Halloween costumes which might feed off phobias or fears. That would go against the whole tradition ...
FR should have a category called “Bullshit” for stuff like this.
I am sick of the made up “phobic” diagnoses. Thinking something is wrong does not mean you are afraid of it.
Same here. Anyone who disagrees with their BS, whatever it is—they state the activity and then tack ‘phobic’ on it.
For example, I’m surprised we haven’t seen “choicephobic” applied to those of us who protest babies being murdered and torn apart, their little bodies sold for profit.
But that's okay. Costume bad, pinata .... (crickets).
Halloween. . . let’s put it into perspective. http://www.wnd.com/2015/08/ex-satanist-babies-being-aborted-for-devil/
That picture shows one of the absolute top athletes in the world at the time, someone who dedicated their entire life to working out and training. Amazing how such a person in that pre-steroid age could be an ultra-elite athlete and still look like a normal person, albeit very fit.
So what, I’m all kinds of phobic.
Our daughter and her kids dress in/as iconic brands, so to speak.
They’ve dressed as Flo, the Progressive lady (sorry - but it is an easy home made costume - ), the Morton Salt girl, with Umbrella and correct shoe color.
Not to mention ‘Annie’, and the Orphans, Miss Hananigan - - - walking one of their collies as ‘Sandy.’ One year they were ‘The Sound Of Music.’
The dad dresses like a Navy admiral, Captain Hook, etc.
This family does NOT celebrate the Macabre Halloween.
Halloween is supposed to be about scary things.
theyve scored a SCARINESS BULLSEYE with THIS one!
I ‘d rather be seen In an I Am Revrunt Al Costume!!
