I think the title just said \"Pirate Girl\". I don't see the problem though, the costume isn't showing any skin really, and the skirt goes down to the knees. Perhaps it's the word \"Wench\" that they have a problem with. Personally, when we go costume/clothes shopping, I don't let my girl get anything that's inappropriate, but I've never not bought something simply because of a label, unless the clothing in question was innappropriate</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(8606562, 'Flame')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-8615967\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=27503\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-27503-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=27503\">Happy Homemaker</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/10/dress-your-daughter-as-pirate-wench-for-halloween.html#comment-8615967\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2008-10-29T21:36:53-05:00\">October 29, 2008  9:36 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(8615967);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=8615967');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p><p>@<a href=\"http://consumerist.com/5070407/dress-your-daughter-as-pirate-wench-for-halloween#c8606562\" rel=\"nofollow\">Flame</a>: My problem is my daughter is is 13 years old, supertall and autistic. She wants those kiddie princess costumes but all that fit her are \"slutty princess\". Obviously, I'm not going to let her go as that. One outfit she liked seemed more appropriate for Hef's Halloween party at the Playboy mansion. She's also into Hannah Montana and Camp Rock but because of how tall she is, those costumes are too short for her as well. I came up with an idea though. On the DVD cover of Camp Rock \"Mitchie\", the main character, is wearing a tunic and leggings, so I got a tunic that matches and grey leggings that match, as well as accessories, such as sparkling bracelets and a Hannah Montana necklace and big face microphone. I also got her sparly make up for the evening. We couldn't find a brown wig for \"Mitchie\" but we did find a pink one (like Britney Spears wears), so I joked with her that \"Mitchie is wearing a wig for Halloween. That made her happy. She was just stoked that Mom came through and got her a \"Mitchie\" costume. She's also stoked that everyone will be wearing Hannah Montana or High School Musical but she'll be the only one wearing Camp Rock, and best of all, I'm happy because it's not slutty and it's wearable all year long.</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(8615967, 'Happy

Even more disconcerting is what we as a society are becoming when this is 'normal' or when these are the choices available. Maybe its time to go back to home-made costumes.

(scarsam) ...  The picture of the priate wench reminded me of my daughter she was a little girl she went through all sorts of phases (behaviors) dealing with her gender as did her the majority of her girlfriends. I affectionately called these phases \"gender nazi days\" as they all seemed to have an invisible gender line of what was appropriate during these periods. for example during one of these phases she would only wear  a frilly pink tutu and red slippers and of course a magic wand was the accessory of choice. Usually these little girls just wanted to be beautiful &amp; powerful. And have some control over their environments. For holloween sometimes we bought a costume but if my daughter didn't like the choices we invented one at home, which were usually have more flexable choices.</p><p>Halloween is a the perfect NORTH AMERICAN celebration to explore aspects of fears, fantasies, try on different aspects of our personalities or push social norms or comfort zones.  Overall this is an important aspect of getting to know ourselves...  BTW I have a little boy (10 yrs) and he really liked to wear red elf shoes with gold trim and little gold bells... As for my little girl whose all grown up now she's working towards getting her Phd and doing alright... Happy Holloween Everyone!!

The skirt is down to her knees, the shirt isn't low cut, there is no midrif showing, and the sleeves go to the elbows. I think its really just a sad sign of how hyper-sexualzied people have become, and a little sick that a costume of a little girl being a pirate is even thought of as sexual. The costume is \"pirate wench\" because wench is a pirate-ish term to call a woman.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(8624537, 'Raanne')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->								<div class=\"num-replies\">2 replies</div>	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-8625652\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=620112\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-620112-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=620112\">chemrebel</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/10/dress-your-daughter-as-pirate-wench-for-halloween.html#comment-8625652\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2008-10-30T13:55:18-05:00\">October 30, 2008  1:55 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(8625652);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=8625652');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p><p>@<a href=\"http://consumerist.com/5070407/dress-your-daughter-as-pirate-wench-for-halloween#c8624537\" rel=\"nofollow\">Raanne</a>: <br />\"The costume is \"pirate wench\" because wench is a pirate-ish term to call a woman.\"</p><br /><p>And just HOW old is the model in the costume?
