4. Sexy Costumes
You’ve seen the sexy devil, sexy nurse or even the sexy watermelon. Literally anything can be made sexy as long as the costume designers have a crazy imagination. But ever wondered when it became acceptable to wear things like this for costume parties or Halloween?
No, they didn’t come from porn or rather, could costume porn came from this? Could be, because the sexy costume phenomenon has been around since the late 18th century, but it does seem to be getting skimpier by the decade.
So masquerade balls where the latest fad during the 18th and 19th centuries and this was the start of it all. People were getting daring and showing one’s bare legs was considered out of the norm.
Since everyone was wearing masks, it acts as a form of escapism where people could act outside normal behavior. Thus the costumes gave people an opportunity to indulge one’s self to their desire, may it be sex, booze or even gambling without social or official sanction.
But only until the 1970s were an explosion of adult costumes occurred. Its the age of freedom and change. Hippies, social movements and more. So people were becoming bolder and so did the sexy costumes.
