Unrealistic body types ain't just for superheroines
The skinny on the most offensive costume
If you worry about the unwholesome imagery and unhealthy body types being portrayed in comics -- corsetted Wonder Woman, bare belly Supergirl, fishnet clad Zatanna and Black Canary, leather wearing Storm, and so on -- and are worried that it could provoke problems when people try to squeeze into outfits like that for Halloween this year, just know: it could be worse.
There's this number to our right, which the seller labels as "Anna Rexia." And yes, those are tape measures for a belt and choker.
Guess she won't be having much candy... or she'll be throwing it up right afterwards.

I checked out the site. at least the costume comes in Small, Medium, and Large...I think its good to give the non-stick figure girls a little slice of hope....of which they can later purge

It's also available in plus sizes. Go figure.

It's available in plus sizes? Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose?

Good god... and they obviously airbrushed out a good portion of the model's arm and body (and not well, I might add). This costume is leagues above the priest/altar boy combo my friend wore a few years ago, and undoubtedly crosses the line out of 'edgy' humour world. What's worse is that PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY BUY THIS.
