Photos of matador Halloween costume for Atlanta Halloween guide and costume inspiration.

This costume is sold as one at Junkman's Daughter and cost $111. She's wearing her own shoes, which she bought at the store for $40. Gibboney said this one is "at the very top end of the costumes." The bulk of "sexy" costumes run in the $40 range.

Gibboney pulled her hair to the side in a Spanish style. "Very tight," she noted. She's wearing a classic red bolero jacket. There is also a bodice that "shows some tummy." Comes with a sash. She likes the jacket, which could come in handy on a cold Halloween night.

"I think people want to look sexy," Gibboney said. "For a lot of people Halloween is the one opportunity where they can wear clothing that would be really inappropriate at work."

Gibboney named some classic "sexy" Halloween cliches: Sexy kitty-cat. Sexy nurse. Sexy pirate. "But I don't want to discourage anyone because we bought a lot of that," she said. "So it's for sale." And for the guys? Cops and pirates, she said.
