Vampires: The Super Sexy Bad Boy

The Vampire Look

There’s no doubt about it.  At Halloween time, there is a plethora of monstrous beings that you can bring to life for yourself.   If you want to be scary for Halloween, nowadays, you have tons of choices.   There is one Halloween monster, however that holds a special place of honor when put against many of the others.  The Vampire is a chilling reminder of evil in its finest hour, and yet, throughout the ages, the Vampire has also become associated with a weird and beguiling form of sex appeal.  This attraction that women have toward the charm and charisma of the Vampire has helped his cause quite a bit through the ages and cost a lot of women their lives.  It doesn’t seem to matter, though and the danger that lurks beneath the surface of the Vampire only seems to add to his sickening allure.

 

 

 

Top 5 Reasons Why the Vampire is So Completely SEXY!’’

The Allure of Immortality:  Most Vampires found in legends, stories and in the media have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years.  No need to pity this bad boy, really, as it seems as if he’s found the fountain of youth.  Although there are apparent ways to kill off a Vampire, it’s tricky biz and not easily done.  You might be taken captive first–and then let’s face it, it’s all over after that.

The Allure of Dangerous Seduction:  The mysterious demeanor and the oh-so-romantic persona that surrounds our sexy Vampire is pretty hard for most women to resist–precisely why women have been succumbing to them for many years.  We know they are potentially dangerous–the most recent and modern infamous Vampires have been known to openly admit to girls that they are dangerous and to just keep away.  This fact doesn’t seem to stop these girls from getting entangled anyway, does it?

The Allure of The Bad Boy:  The appeal of the bad boy likely goes back anthropologically to the caveman era.  Women in those days were attracted to the most physically strong hunter types that could hunt down and bring back the fatted calf to the cave.  Nowadays, women are still looking for that kinda guy–athletes, power brokers, and musicians–all of which are notorious exhibitors of bad boy behavior.  The Vampire just takes this bad boy theme to an entirely new level. 

The Allure of Ultimate Power:  Vampires, in addition to being pretty charming, are also amazingly strong and physically fit.  (Apparently that high protein, all-blood diet is doing something for them!)  In addition to physical strength, the Vampire is very mentally powerful as well.  Case in point, look at the Vampire’s ability to ensnare most anyone into his trap, with really very little effort involved.  Vampires have also figured out a way to outwit death, which theoretically gives them the most power of all.

The Allure of Plain ol’ Fashioned Hotness:  Today’s Vampires, in spite of their lack of pallor and even some major darkness encircling their eyes are still considered to be ridiculously hot.  The Vampire proves, once and for all, that when it comes to Halloween monsters, you can be evil and frightful without losing any of your natural sex appeal. 

Be sure and check out our video that illustrates very easy, step-by-step instructions on how to create a simple Gothic Vampire look that is also very sexy.  He’s elegant, sultry as well as captivating.  This look simply screams, “I want to suck your blood!”  Not a problem; chicks apparently dig it. 

Cultural Stereotypes in Costumes: Offensive or Funny?

It seems that these days anything goes when it comes to dressing up for Halloween.  Some folks seem to think that some costumes may have crossed the proverbial line, however, and perhaps have gone too far.  If you’ve been thinking of dressing up as something along the lines of a Mexican Bandito, a Geisha Girl, a Ghetto God, a Redneck or even an Illegal Alien, you may want to take into consideration a few points.

Last year, a group of students at Ohio University, vehemently protested the use of these types of costumes, calling them offensive and proclaiming “we are a culture, not a costume!”  Their point was well taken as these students set out to raise awareness about what they viewed as obvious racism.

Most people who dress up in these stereotypical costumes are probably largely unaware of how they might be construed by people who may be culturally associated with these types of costume looks.  At Halloween time, these costume styles are in relative abundance and have historically been a favorite amongst costume wearers.  The Geisha Girl, for example, has been a popular Halloween costume for female wearers.  This look, however, is a stereotype that Asian women don’t always appreciate and have been trying for years to overcome, as the Geisha has long been associated with high priced prostitution.

Some other costume choices are more obvious when it comes to their degree of offensiveness.  Looks depicting “Rednecks” that include disgusting features in them such as large beer bellies, dirty clothing and rotting teeth may be considered very politically incorrect, along with other more obvious offenders such as wearing anything that may be making light of the attire or wardrobe associated with the Muslim, Native American, Italian or African-American cultures, along with many others. 

Of course, there are still many folks out there that think a whole lot of hullaballoo is being made out of nothing.  Halloween has been, essentially, a holiday that is celebrated in the spirit of fun.  Arguably, some say that no one seems to be worried about the various undead creatures lurking about everywhere on Halloween night, nor do they seem terribly upset by the sexy girl from your office posing as a naughty version of a nurse that is set to cure what ails you.  Halloween is supposed to just be light-hearted fun, right?  Are some folks just taking this costume thing too seriously?

No matter what side of the fence you fall on, a little sensitivity is always prudent, so consider who your friends are and where you are going before you make your Halloween costume plans, always erring on the side of good judgment.  Jelani Cobb, a professor of Africana studies at Rutgers University noted, “What underlies this kind of costuming is the belief that these people aren’t quite as equal to what we are, or aren’t as American as we are, or that you as a person who’s not a member of that group should be able to dictate how painful the stereotype should be.” 

It’s definitely something to think about.  Perhaps it’s just much safer to be Batman.
