Nothing is sacred. Not Elsa or Anna. Not even Olaf.
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.
The online lingerie and costume company Yandy’s 2014 collection of adult costumesincludes an off-the-shoulder and above-the-thigh Blue Snow Maiden costume that’s a racy version of the elegant gown Elsa wore. A Norwegian Maiden costume has the same color scheme as Anna’s lovely frock but looks like a much better fit for a busty woman in a beer commercial. There’s also a Funny Snowman getup if you want to dress up as a sexed-up version of Olaf, with a skin-tight leotard and white stockings that pull up to your thighs. And finally, the Ice Girl Costume has a slit that will take you all the way up to . . . Elsa’s castle.
Every year the Halloween costumes get skimpier, tighter and shorter — giving women the chance to show off more cleavage and more leg. Maybe the downward spiral is good for men, but it’s downright degrading to women.
Nearly all children’s pop culture icons have been sluttified: Snow White, Strawberry Shortcake, Little Red Riding Hood, Gumby, the Grinch, Teletubbies, Chuck E. Cheese, and Mr. Potato Head. A sexy Cat Woman costume, even Wonder Woman, makes sense, but Mr. Potato Head? Really?!
Moving into Frozen territory seems downright criminal. Elsa, Anna and Olaf are for kids. American children are currently obsessed with this Disney film and girls (and boys) have been singing “Let It Go” and “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” ever since it hit the big screen. On Halloween night little snow princesses will be walking up and down leafy neighborhood streets, grasping buckets of candy in their hands. Boozy 20-somethings looking to get laid and dressed up as sexualized versions of Anna and Elsa shouldn’t be allowed to join this parade.
And then there’s Olaf, the sweet-natured snowman who tells everyone, “Hi everyone! I’m Olaf and I like warm hugs.” After seeing the movie my daughter was going around and saying this line for weeks. Come on people, there’s nothing sexy about snowmen! Why must this lovable and goofy little snow creature, who every preschooler adores, be turned into a slut?
Last time, Halloween stooped this low was 2012 when Yandy released its slutty Sesame Street line. Take a look at those terrifying get-ups below. Did they really have to mess with Big Bird? Just imagine his high-pitched babyish voice and you realize that there’s nothing sexy there.

I guess they are for adult parties, but then I don't have a little girl. You're right, leave the DIsney charactures alone.
Holloween is for kids!
