After reading the last paragraph, if I were a kid, I'd say, "Wow. I can't wait to grow up. You can tramp yourself up for one night and then 'dress for success' the next day. It says so right in the newspaper. Can't do THAT at my school. (Specially since the principal took away our Hollowe'en.)"
Great article and a trend that seems to pick up steam each year, so to speak. I should mention that the boots actually aren't made for walking, but we wear them anyway and hold onto the nearest male arm if we need a little extra support. I have found that most men don't seem to mind rescuing a damsel in spike heels.
So we all know how to act. Be nice & don’t do crime, kick puppies, or start forest fires. But those are easy. The tough rules these days seem to be manners and etiquette governed only by common sense. I didn’t invent the good sense standard, but I am laying claim to it. I’m not Emily Post. I don’t care which fork you use. But I will call out boorish behavior and give kudos for civility. Join me as I comment on how we act. And together we’ll teach folks how to act right again.

Good stuff. It's something that's been escalating for years now, indeed.
I noticed last night taking the train into the city here in DC that at least half of young women in costume were dressed as prostitutes.
