One of the hottest topics of 2015 is still causing controversy as Halloween quickly approaches. Many people, like myself, begin looking around for the perfect Halloween costume as soon as possible, so Halloween stores send out previews of their new costumes as early as August. Unfortunately, one of the most talked about costumes is being considered highly offensive.

Most people know the inspirational story of Caitlyn Jenner and the controversy that surrounds her. Now people are trying to make money off of this topic by creating a costume inspired by Caitlyn.




Spirit Halloween was the first to release this costume but seemed to have felt the pressure of the social media outrage and took the option to buy it away. Other Halloween stores quickly reacted to take advantage of Spirit's choice and has the costume available for purchase and at a lower price. I can see why people are offended by companies thinking it's okay to sell this kind of costume, but no matter what people are going to dress up like Caitlyn when Halloween comes around.

Celebrities are one of the hottest costumes every year. When you become a public figure, you have to expect that someone is going to make a costume out of you. This is the year of Caitlyn and she's been doing a good job of handling anything society throws at her. You can't control how people dress up, but you can hope that some of their actions are something they will hopefully regret one day.

DailyMail reports that Spirit Halloween released a statement, "Caitlyn Jenner has proven to be the most important real-life superhero of the year, and Spirit Halloween is proud to carry the costume that celebrates her." Not sure how much I truly believe that statement if they are charging a large amount of money for such an inspirational costume.
