This Week In Odd Halloween Costumes

Fans of Halloween and the films of Bob Clark rejoice! You can now buy an authentic A Christmas Story Sexy Leg Lamp Costume! 

Actually as slutty Halloween costumes go, this one's pretty tame. In fact it's downright chaste. I still wouldn't recommend it though.

First of all it's a hoop skirt, so if you wear it to a party you're going to have to stand up all night. If you sit down the front of the skirt's going to be forced upward and you'll flash your business to everyone in attendance, and nobody needs to see that.

Secondly, you're wearing a Christmas themed outfit to a Halloween party, which is just plain confusing.

Thirdly, this costume is horribly inaccurate. To be really authentic there should only be one leg sticking out from under the shade. Do you have the intestinal fortitude to saw off one of your own limbs just for a party you didn't want to go to in the first place? I thought not.

Alternatively you could try stuffing both legs into a flesh colored stocking to simulate one leg, as shown here. It's not gonna be easy to walk around in such a getup though, so don't forget to bring the hand truck so your date can haul you around the party and prop you up next to the dip. 

I bet you thought I was going to erase the girl's leg and Photoshop a bloody stump, didn't you? Well, maybe you don't know me as well as you thought.
