From Howl to a Hallowe'en howler. A radio advert for Ann Summers Hallowe'en costumes has been banned for being "too sexy". It was blocked for "fairly overt sexual references, in terms of sound-effects". Since when did it become normal for women to sex it up for Hallowe'en? There's currently a row going on in America over a company selling racy "tween" costumes for 10-12 year olds. I loathe Hallowe'en at the best of times but using it as an excuse to deck out women and children as "Sexy Bumblebees" or "Pirate Hotties" is depressing. Anyway, "geek chic" is all over the catwalks at the moment, with models and fashionistas wearing hideous, fake spectacles and even paying thousands to put gaps between their front teeth in an effort to avoid perfection. If this trend continues, we'll be sporting monobrows, shaved heads and monstrous fake boils by next year and won't need to dress up for Hallowe'en.
