Take Back Halloween! : A costume guide for women with imagination »

A great website for women who want other options besides Sexy So & So. There’s even a section on the issues with cultural appropriation on the About page which uses geisha as an example - very well done considering it’s often the geisha costume that trips people up (“but it’s an occupation!!!”).

They’re not selling costumes; rather, they put together pictures of the inspiration with bits & pieces available from eBay or thrift stores, so that you can make your costume on the cheap. There’s something for everyone; a wide range of diversity.

You can be Anna May Wong, Josephine Baker, Pele (check out the pants!!), Persephone, Emma Goldman, Madam C. J. Walker, or all the various other women on there.
