I don't really know what all the fuss is about. As much as I understand the Anna-rexia costume being absurd and wrong, you can't judge these costumes as being slutty until you try them on. The costumes that the models are wearing are always made tighter, or shorter so they look 'better' in the photograph.
It sounds like someone is a little jealous.
If you have a problem with the way these costumes look, why don't you make something for yourself.

[...] costumes for almost two weeks now, you guys. I’ve endured sexualized Native Americans, skeletons, and breathalizer tests. I’ve been through the shit. But no costume has made me want to rip [...]

@Victor
Probably a purposeful attempt to shield themselves from accusations of insensitivity/asshattery.
Obviously, not working.

anyone else find it kind of odd that they'd use a model who appears to be a little on the "plus" side for an "Anna Rexia" costume?

Yikes...the sexy skeleton costume was lame enough...but a costume that makes light of a serious social issue?

I mean, come on, what's next? Sexy cancer patient costume?

I was totally about to comment on the "Anna Rexia" costume til I saw newslang had beaten me to it. And yes, if you look at her little heart-shaped nametag, you can see it says "Anna Rexia" right on it. Gross.

A heads up: the first costume was originally their "Anna Rexia" costume. The belt is actually a handy measuring tape. Because eating disorders are the thing of costumed halloween fun!
