It took three stores and more than 30 costumes before Marcela Escobar-Eck and her 11-year-old daughter could agree on a Halloween costume.

As her sixth-grader brought out costume after costume, Escobar-Eck was aghast at the options.

“It was slutty pirate. It was slutty bumblebee. It was slutty leprechaun,” Escobar-Eck says. “I was like ‘no,’ ‘no,’ ‘no.’ ”

Forget your wart-faced witches.

When it comes to Halloween costumes for women, teens and even — a real horror — young girls, sex apparently sells.

That's repulsive.

I remember the character costumes we had. They basically consisted of a plastic mask with the character's face (Jeannie, Wonder Woman or whoever) and a polyester jumpsuit with the character's name on the front. They were completely UNsexy. The most risque I got was Miss America one year - I tried pushing the sleeves down over my shoulders.
