Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding? Sexy Girl Costumes
What happened to the good old days of court jesters, witches, Raggedy Anne and teddy bears? Our society has certainly become less prudish, as evidenced by foul language on TV, pants with MILF written on the rears and sex education in kindergarten.

Tell Mommy: What Was Your Favorite Halloween Costume?
My favorite Halloween pastime wasn't trick-or-treating, it was the anticipation of wearing my finished costume. As children, my siblings and I would come up with what we wanted to be for Halloween and then my mom, grandma and mainly, my aunt who is an amazing seamstress, would concoct the costumes from scratch. No task was too daunting, when Gremlins became a blockbuster, my brother and I became Stripe and Gizmo with realistic paper mache headpieces.
ECOWEEN: Don't Just Go Green, Make Green Your Theme
We've gone green for Halloween here on lilsugar, which means we are bringing you tricks and treats for celebrating the favorite holiday while encouraging children to make, swap and reuse their costumes. These costumes aren't just made with eco products, but they highlight the recycle, reduce and reuse theme and are great conversation starters for budding conversationalists.

ECOWEEN: Compostable Child
Between the fluorescent lightbulb, the blue recycle bin and the tree lover, lilsugar tots are pushing the Eco agenda. To round out the go green costumes, we're putting the lil one in a compost bin!
Many school cafeterias now require children to throw their used napkins and leftover food in the big green bins as the waste can be better used to save our environment.
Ecoween: Turning Paper Back to Timber
One of the oldest green terms of endearment is "tree hugger." Out here in the Bay Area, we have our fair share of them and they love their trees so much that they're willing to live in them for months in an effort to save the natural wonders.
Use some gifts from Mother Nature along with some recyclable items to craft a costume that pays homage to trees.
