I just read this article in my local paper and thought of this thread. It reminded me of the posts about "sexy nurse" and "sexy cop", etc.

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.

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