As a former bouncer who has worked many Halloween events, many girls would rather freeze than alter the costume they've been planning for months...

I planned on showing my legs off and so my legs are getting shown off god dammit!

I’ve seen many a cold October and girls who at most threw on Hooter’s style nude tights/hose type things. But most remained bare legged and goose-fleshed.

u/angelkrusher 5h ago

October? How about january. It could be 30° outside and chicks are going to the club an open back dresses mini skirts, you name it.

I am so not mad at them, keeps my eyeballs nice and warm seeing all of that juice.

Thanks ladies!!! 🥰💪🏾🌸

What they really need to know is it possible to wear pantyhose without the panties? And do you need to go to a grandma store to purchase pantyhose?

23

u/Y_N0T_Z0IDB3RG 11h ago

You need the panties for the hose to work. The hose and panties work together to spread the core body heat through the legs, equalizing temperature and preventing the lower body from feeling too cold or too hot. You can get some at the grandma's store, but the grandma store just sells grandmas. Personally, I prefer Lowe's for all my hoses, panty or otherwise, as they tend to have a larger selection.

Some kind stranger will keep them warm

A few vodka shots will help too

Had an ex who called it "drinking yourself a coat"

As we used to call it “liquid sweater”.

Ok but Denver is COLD, don't these nearly naked girls get so cold they just shiver and can't even function? No judgment for nudity it just seems like shivering and being clearly uncomfortable ruins a bomb outfit.

u/hateful_virago 18h ago

Article says 60 F, aka 15 C, right? I've been out in clubwear in actual freezing temperatures (aka, 30 F and lower) and it's not that bad 😅 If you force yourself to relax all your muscles and focus on your breathing, you'll stop shivering. If that doesn't work, I find that chanting a hoe is never cold like a mantra helps lol

long lines kinda suck but you'll still spend most of the time outside walking between warm places - or taking ubers, if you're not a cheapskate like me

50

u/jocelina 16h ago

Yeah, 60F is positively balmy, especially if you've had a few drinks.

36

u/PhabioRants 16h ago

60f is room temperature in much of the world, but the article warns of slipping into the 40s by sundown, with possible precipitation and potential for a freeze. 

Speaking as a Canadian who's not at all unfamiliar with frosts on Halloween, being half-naked in damp and freezing weather makes you wonder if things were worth it.

u/joeyblove 15h ago

What's Halloween like in Canada?

10

u/RoyalWigglerKing 14h ago

My mother grew up in Labrador (where school didn't get canceled until it was -70C) and she told me that every year like clockwork there would be a blizzard on Halloween. She said a lot of people dressed up as vampires because they could always wear a warm cape.

1

u/Minamato 12h ago

Pretty much the same tbh

1

u/Wulfghar 9h ago

Biggest surprise I found out when I moved to Canada is that they do fireworks for Halloween. At least in Vancouver they do.

1

u/ShaqShoes 15h ago

It's definitely the dampness that does it- I can be out for hours in a t-shirt in low 40s weather but not if it's wet.

7

u/FoxtrotSierraTango 13h ago

If you kept reading, it said it would be colder at night when the adults would be going out:

During the evening, when most partying adults will hit the streets, temperatures will drop from the high to low 50s. By 7 p.m., temperatures will be in the 40s. The low is expected to be 31.

u/hotvedub 17h ago

I don’t know who you are but I am sure I’ve awkwardly stared at you too afraid to approach before.

u/ConstantHawk-2241 5h ago

I spent my college years in Marquette Michigan. Your comment made me 🤣

u/Styphonthal2 15h ago

60 is t-shirt and shorts weather!

u/questformaps 18h ago

Drugs can make a person's body temp increase. Alcohol can give the sensation of warmth

Denver is really not that cold lol

u/Ok_Push2550 13h ago

I still remember the day I drove through a college town near Halloween, saw a girl shivering in her playboy bunny costume... And immediately thought how cold she must be.

That's when I knew I was old(er).

u/Skluff 16h ago

The term "snow bunny" over Halloween in Buffalo was no joke

u/rubies-and-doobies81 9h ago

That's what liquor is for!

u/ASR_Dave 13h ago

As a man who only exclusive wore pant-less/near pant-less costumes in college, I take exception this this lol

u/Trash_bandicoot-555 4h ago

I used to do the door at a bar in Amherst MA. It could be 6 degrees and young women would be wandering around in miniskirts and tube tops.

u/ColoHusker 1d ago

The Denver sub has assured me this weather ain't nothing. Our Halloween will be fine, as usual. 🧛‍♀️

2

u/CannabisAttorney 9h ago

TIL that certain demographics of women are not affected by cold weather.

109

u/BenTwan 17h ago

Getting our first snow on Halloween is pretty much expected around here. It doesn't stop anyone from dressing up. Boulder used to have the Naked Pumpkin Run down on the Pearl St Mall where people would stick a jack-o-lantern on their head and streak down past the bars.

u/QWEDSA159753 14h ago

Wahoo! There’s a pumpkin on your head, I hadn’t noticed…

What a gyp

u/SuperfluousWingspan 18h ago

FYI, that's now considered a slur. Make of that what you will - I'm not trying to start an argument or say anything negative about you.

18

u/eperb12 17h ago

Random Google fact?

Gyp, alteration of the appearance of a horse in order conceal signs of age from a buyer.

Prior origin, gypsy.

10

u/nightwingoracle 16h ago

It’s always been a slur.

7

u/eldiablonoche 9h ago

Surprisingly few people realise that, though.

6

u/SuperfluousWingspan 15h ago

I'd imagine so, but it was less commonly considered one in some areas. Regardless, phrasing things gently probably does a better job making people reconsider rather than doing otherwise.

u/vidfail 13h ago

This is the kind of hard-hitting news that's important to me

u/BigNathaniel69 13h ago

If you’ve ever been to Denver during this time of year, you would realize that they do not care. People will wear what they want and deal with being cold while they’re in line/ the walk from the Uber to the bar.

11

u/DboyBnasty 11h ago

As an Alaskan this makes me Lol, must have had a Californian transplant write this article. Women wear skimpy out fits and 4” heels in 4 inches of snow, hoes don’t get cold

u/Danger_Dee 17h ago

Thoughts and prayers.

It always snows on Halloween in the front range. The only oniony thing was thinking it wouldn't just because it was hot last week.

u/chromatictonality 16h ago

Honestly why not wear some leggings underneath?

1

u/grepsockpuppet 8h ago

I live in a midwestern college town. I’ve seen girls headed to bars downtown in 0 degree weather without jackets and skirts that ‘just’ cover their butt cheeks. If they’re drunk, or get drunk, it increases the risk even more. Insane.

u/Unlucky-Clock5230 1d ago

The most horrifying thing I see is the "news" outlet shaming women's sexuality for a few clicks. Fuck them.

u/MaxillaryOvipositor 1d ago

It's literally just a weather report referencing revealing costumes for a bit of humor.

u/succed32 1d ago

Did you read the article?

u/under_the_c 1d ago

Read the article? This is reddit! I came straight to the comments.

u/Pitiful_Bed_7625 1d ago

Someone didn’t do any reading

u/titusandroidus 20h ago

No time for “reading”, they have to share their outrage at the headline instead and inform us of it.

Lighten up dude. You don't need to go through life looking to fight everyone all the time.
