It’s that time of year again. Time for yet another sexy Halloween costume article. Sexy Halloween costumes are a strange element of the season, with plenty of examples to choose from, like for instance—bees.

Above we have a bee costume. Let’s stop for a second and ask ourselves a few questions: Why do sexy bee costumes exist? What’s wrong with dressing like an actual bee, not a sexualized insect? What possessed a costume designer to create a sexual bee costume?

While dressing up and looking sexy on Halloween can be fun for some, the lack of choices for girls who don’t want to dress that way is not. Bees are just the tip of the iceberg; there are numerous examples both online and in stores of Halloween costumes that are unnecessarily sexualized.

Halloween is that special holiday where anyone can transform into whoever or whatever they please. Whether that means letting some skin show or covering up from head to toe, people have the right to dress in whatever they feel best in. After all, holidays are all about having a good time.

If you feel like no costumes are calling your name, a nice alternative is making your own costume! It can be challenging and intricate, like making a suit of armor, or something simple and sweet like a t-shirt that says “ERROR 404 CAN’T FIND COSTUME.” It can be whatever you want it to be! So don’t be afraid to embrace the zaniness and imagination of Halloween this season. And ask yourself, “to bee or not to bee” when it comes to strangely sexual costumes. Should it or should it not be sexualized?
