Granted, I own more Halloween stuff than this entire country combined, but I can&#8217;t tell you how happy it made me to stroll the aisles to investigate the costumes, severed fingers and cheesy decorations.<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of my delight, we encountered one glaring difference to Halloween shopping in this country &#8211; the female costumes.  At first, it looked like the models in the pictures were wearing leotards or some kind of black body suit underneath their costumes.  However a closer inspection by Megan revealed that someone had <strong>colored in<\/strong> various exposed parts of the body.  Bare shoulders?  Colored in!  Visible thighs?  Denied!  Low cut top?  Nothing an &#8220;ink cover-up&#8221; can&#8217;t fix!  <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t believe me?
