Halloween is still a month away, but it never hurts to start hunting for a suitable costume this early, no?
So if you're looking for something current, something that's never really done before, perhaps wearing a sexy version of "Frozen" character Queen Elsa's costume is the answer, or probably that racy Olaf costume an online retailer is selling.
"Sexy costume purveyor Yandy.com is selling Frozen-themed Halloween costumes, the most traumatizing one being the 'Funny Snowman' costume (aka Olaf) consisting of a white leotard, 'fingerless glovelettes' and a carrot nose," E! News noted. "There's the Ice Girl costume, featuring a thigh-high slit, the Blue Snow Maiden costume, which is very Dancing With the Stars, and the Norwegian Maiden costume: Fishnets not included."
Each outfit costs about $90 each, except for the Olaf-inspired costume, which only sets you back $36.95. But you'll have to work out like mad to look decent in this revealing, clingy number.
"Along with every other children's pop culture icon, the Disney 'Frozen' cast has been sucked up into the Halloween slut machine and spit out as a collection of sex totems. Elsa and Anna have let it all go . . . and are showing a lot of leg," SFGate commented. "Moving into 'Frozen' territory seems downright criminal. Elsa, Anna and Olaf are for kids."
We have a feeling many parents are nodding in agreement to this.
Meanwhile, some outraged netizens have made their thoughts on the racy costumes known on Twitter.
"I think this one's gonna win this year's 'Most Inappropriate Costume,'" the Daily Mail quoted one as saying of the Olaf costume.
"The fact that somebody turned Olaf into a 'sexy' Halloween costume is everything that's wrong with America," tweeted one person," commented another.
Apparently, this is not the first time Yandy has given "innocent" Disney characters a racy spin, Yahoo! News noted. The retailer has not even limited its raunchy adaptations to just Disney classics. It has created adult versions of "Despicable Me"'s Minions, for one.
Within hours after the furor over the racy "Frozen" costumes broke, all four costumes can no longer be searched on Yandy.com. Are they sold out or was the pullout due to the uproar? Will the outfits be back once the spotlight is off the costume retailer?
Many months ago, it was reported that original Disney costumes of key characters of the hit animated movie were sold out, with some being offered on eBay for as much as $1,600, Bloomberg said. Some parents are even sewing their own versions, spending up to $225 on their DIY efforts.
