Preteens Trading Fairy Wands for Fishnets
Gabby Cirenza wanted to be a referee for Halloween. The outfit she
liked had a micro-mini black skirt and a form-fitting black and
white-striped spandex top held together with black laces running up the
flesh-exposing sides. She looked admiringly at the thigh-high black
go-go boots that could be bought as an accessory. And she thought the
little bunny on the chest was cute.
"Absolutely not," said her mother, Cheryl. "That is so not happening."
Gabby Is 11.
Bawdy Halloween costumes, however, have become the season's hottest
sellers in recent years. Not just for women, but for girls, too. And
parents such as Cirenza don't like it.
