My best friend even has a Top 10 Melissa Tramp Outfits, and there are easily three Halloween costumes on there. (Editor’s Note: So 70% of those outfits were a normal day? Awesome.)

So, in order to keep myself off any Tramp lists this year, I decided to seek out non-slutty alternatives to my typical Halloween looks. After all, I’d much rather be recognized for my creativity than my boobs on October 31st this year.

Shocking, I know.

Marilyn Monroe

This may be a questionable choice to some, but I don’t find this trampy in the least. The pink number from Gentleman Prefer Blondes is iconic and it’s almost like a two-in one deal because you can say that you’re the fabulous Marilyn or Madonna.

Carrie

Halloween isn’t Halloween without a little fright and gore (note: not boobs and legs), and if you’ve seen the movie Carrie then you’ll know what this is allll about.

The Goddess

This version is called ‘Atlantis Queen.’ I love it not only for the pretty blue, but because it proves that to be a goddess you don’t need tons of cleavage or a super short skirt.

Gangster Moll

This version is free of garters or inappropriately short anything where you have to worry about who might be looking at your hooha when you bend over to pick up that beer pong ball off of the floor. And even better: pants and jacket = warmth! If you want to make this more ‘girly’, you can opt for the pink version of it.

Get political.

With either the right pant or skirt suit, you can easily be Sarah Palin or Hilary Clinton.

The Classic Witch

Long sleeves, long skirt and a high neck and still totally classic. If the typical witch isn’t your thang feel free to switch it up; I always loved the witch from Sleeping Beauty.

Or, if you’d prefer to steer clear of the classics, my three favorites that I’ve found so far are:

 

catchargetwister

If you do decide to go with Twister, though, don’t let anyone put any hand on yellow. Or blue. Or green.

    Halloween in college is a high holiday. Not celebrating is unscholastic. Ive heard possible expulsion as a punishment.

    In case none of the costumes get you in that hollloweeny mood, check out this other list…

    I've been thinking of going as one of those Mormon women from the Zion ranch. Remember that debacle last spring where they raided the ranch and those ladies just kept saying, "the children, the children, we want our children."

    I'm stoked about the unibrow and hair! haha

    i appreciate that you ladies are tyring to clean halloween up a little bit, but do you u know how long men have been working secretly to make it all right to dress this way on halloween? You are destroying everything we have worked for.

    and now you are suggesting the morman woman costume, with hair every where it shouldn't be?!

    i'm sorry ladies, i cannot stand for this

    I was a naughty Girl Scout one year. Troop 69. I didn't feel that slutty. Actually, the whole outfit was kinda fabulous!

    Please note, Jessica, that the FLDS church is actually NOT "Mormon". FLDS is an offshoot that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints ("Mormon" church) officially does not recognize or affiliate with. Just to clarify. :)

    Rebel224Rebel, now I know you were talking to the "other" Jessica, but wahh… who cares? All religions are nutty, regardless of who claims who, so whatever. lol

    But I actually just bought a gorgeous 70's vintage maxi dress, and it's gorgeous! It's white, with yellow trim and blue flowers and hits the floor.

    I'm gonna throw in a few pretty hair extensions, braid it up, throw on some big bangles, drop some acid and be a happy flower child for halloween…. haha (kidding about the LSD… I think)

    But all the other girls can worry about their aching feet and whether their ass is falling out or not… :) I'm just gonna have a good time while looking pretty without throwing T&A around. haha

    Aw, c'mon, Jes, there's still no need to mix-and-match names of religions that are (however crazy you think they are) rather different from each other. Unless you'd really like to promote that kind of misunderstanding and confusion… Personally, I'm against it.

    The costume does sound great, though, btw. :)

    Ok, so this is coming extremely late, but for Halloween, I was Dorothy Dandridge as Carmen Jones. Even though Carmen was the ultimate temptress, being that it was the 1940's, her outfit for today's standards is classy: off the shoulder black top and knee length red skirt. Showing skin while keeping it classy.

    Sexy and totally hot girl – next Halloween I'm going hardcore slutty. Pushup, 6" heels garters stockings thong nails hair makeup and I'm going stuff a lit up dildo in my pussy and put another one in my ass. I'll also be sucking on a dildo in my mouth. I'll walk the streets and see what say. If they are nice, I'm going let them work those dildos until I cum in bushes. I want the men to be masked I'll take one cock in mypussy one in my ass and one in my mouth. I also jerk off 2 guys with my hands at the same time. 5 at once will be a dream. I lay inthe bushes all night if they lineup with their costumes . I want my whole oufit to be soaked withcum shots so when it drys, it will be stiff as a board. I'll display the outfit over my fireplace una glass case. Maybe years will be devoted to sharingthis story with good friends. And if they are horny enough, maybe I'll try the outfit on for them – dried cumshots and all.

    Yes. Totally agree. Sexy is not necessary "sluty". Sexual appealing is the word.
