You Heard It Here First: “Sexy” Sesame Street Character Halloween Costumes Are Real Things That Exist
Romney’s mention of the beloved avian puppet actually makes the yellow guy excellent fodder for Halloween costuming, but is rendering these cuddly childhood staples into décolletage flaunting, sheer-paneled ensembles the right move for your politically charged All Hallows Eve suiting? We’re not so sure.
We put the word “sexy” in quotation marks not just because it’s a totally subjective term, but also because using it in such close proximity to a public broadcasting program that helped teach us the alphabet and how to count is pretty gross (to say the very least).
The TV ad released by Obama for America makes this (the politics of Big Bird and PBS funding, not the cleavage Cookie Monster) an even hotter topic, even though the good people at Sesame Street are making their best efforts to confirm their non-partisanship and have their characters and trademarks removed from all campaign materials.The same may happen for costume makers at Yandy.com when the Sesame Street peeps catch wind of their presumably unlicensed designs. BUT if a “Sexy” Elmo/Oscar the Grouch/Ernie/Bert/Cookie Monster is all you dreamed of being for Halloween this year, hurry up and nab one before they (maybe) get a cease-and-desist order!
