Christmas is not a holiday to slut up
Posted by Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 4:40 PM
Last weekend was the 9th Annual Santa Bar Crawl sponsored by Lazy Day. As I walked up 5th Street, bundled tightly in my pea coat and donning my gloves and scarf, I spotted a group of young women skipping up the street. They were scantily dressed in holiday colors: Their arms weren't covered, their skirts were short, and if their grandmothers had caught sight of how much cleavage they were exposing, they'd have told those young women to cover up before they caught their death of cold. Their Santa hats were probably the only warm thing on them.
Isn't this time of year a bit too cold to be slutting up a holiday? There are at least three Sexy Santa costume contests in the next two weeks: Sexy Mrs. Claus Christmas Party at Whisky River tonight, a Sexy Santa Saturday Costume Party at Kiss Lounge on Saturday and, of course, BAR Charlotte's Naughty or Nice Xmas party on Dec. 19.
Wow. That's a lot of "sexiness" for Christmas.
Yeah, I know sex sells, but do we have to slut up the holiday of good ol' St. Nick? Come on people. Youuuuuuu know what this time of year is about. In any of your favorite holiday movies, is there an underlying message of sexuality? I think not.
Besides, don't we all agree that the holiday to dress up like a slut is really Halloween? Let's reserve those barely-covering-the-necessities holiday outfits for then, shall we? If not for respect for the season, at least because it's just too damn cold to be walking around Uptown half-naked.
