There’s a Whole Lot of Inappropriate Going on in the Halloween Department

I'm uncomfortable.

At the risk of this becoming a blog solely about the crazy-slash-fantastic that goes on in the mecca that is Target, I need to share with you my most recent experience: the Target Halloween costume department. Holy Inappropriateness. I can’t even begin to describe how uncomfortable I was.

First, the adult costumes for 11-year-old girls. Do parents even exist anymore? And what exactly is a Midnight Maven? Why is this child out at midnight anyway? When I was in fifth grade, I was a table for Halloween. A table. My head was a centerpiece. It was the greatest costume ever. My only guess is that this girl is a cross between Elvira and the licorice man from Candy Land, who by day runs an escort service. I’m just sayin’. Also in this section, a “Stitch Witch” (not sure at all what that means), and some kind of British go-go dancer. Come on people.

I Think My Parents Have Reached Senior Citizen Status

This could be a very serious warning sign.

You know when people get old and they start to acquire these little quirks, like when my grandparents would pocket-dial us from their cell phone and leave 10 messages that consisted mainly of them talking about Shingles cream and bologna sandwiches? Or like when the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding uses Windex to cure everything?

Well, I guess my parents have finally reached senior citizen status because they’ve found their weird quirk: toothpaste hoarding.

Creepiest. Thing. Ever.

So I’m innocently walking to work from the Back Bay train station after dropping off Alli Smith this morning, and I have to admit, I’m pretty beat and all I want to do is go to bed.

As I approach the corner of Clarendon and Stuart, I see this little creepster trying to entice people to park in his garage (if you know what I mean…and I think you do).

My first reaction was that I was still sleeping and this was some kind of silly dream. I really don’t like any kind of costume where the facial expressions do not change, i.e. the mask from Scream, or any clown that has its smile painted on, etc. My second reaction was that maybe someone was filming a “Coffee and TV”-like music video (they were not). My third reaction (it’s things like this that make me late for work) was to take a picture because maybe I was seeing things. But you guys are seeing this, right? Right?

Anyway, this is how I began my day. Ugh. There’s nothing creepier.
