Sexy Sesame Street Costumes

What, no sexy Snuffleupagus? A costume shop has announced their new line of Sesame Street costumes featuring Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Elmo—all available in teen and women sizes. They call them "super cute," but... we're conflicted! While sexualizing Sesame Street characters just seems wrong, that flapper Big Bird costume is sort of amazing. And it's not like the hemlines are that short. Anyway, if there's a Sesame Street-specific Furry fetish group out there... they are so psyched right now.

It looks like that cookie monster head is vomiting out the girl. Now THAT would be an amazing costume.

Radtard

Love it.

I've often looked at the muppets and thought, "That elmo would make a great coat, some one skin it quick!"

yeah, i can't believe people wanting to have fun or feel sexy. so plebian. so base. people shouldn't even have the option to express themselves as they see fit if this is how they are going to use that option. i'm writing my senator.

Amanda Harletsch

because there in no higher expression of one's creativity than stripper heels and push up bras!

They're not that sexy, really. More cute. Still dumb though.

Not hot, its Gaga-esque.

No Bert or Ernie? How about Kermit?

Why does this make me think of Idiocracy?

I want to Hump those two big birds.

those little muppet hats make it look like somebody butchered big bird and turned him into a dress.

...some men hunt for sport,

Others hunt for food.

The only thing I'm hunting for

Is an outfit that looks good.

See my vest, see my vest...

Wack.

Snuffleupagus would be a male costume...

Dirk

These don't seem that revealing to me... kind of tame, actually.

The outfits in the American Apparel ads on this site seem more revealing...

I can imagine some teenagers wearing this just to be super cute, not to be sexy. The dresses look like the sort you'd find at Target w/ some cute Muppet accessories.

It's all in how you wear it.
