Yeah, it does kind of look like the boys' costumes are mostly unisex, but the girls' are skirted. If you were a costume maker, why make a girls' and boys' version when they haven't developed yet?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
To me its not the showing of skin, its the lameness of costume.
You can dress as a cop.
You can add some sort of visual commentary and dress as "police brutality"
But if you just put on a short tight dress with a badge and a hat you're not dressed as something, you just look hot in a goofy way. And I suppose that once that had its own cleverness, but now its just a default. And you're not dressed as anything.
Surely there could be clever exceptions... "sexy burqua" could be awesome. And you can dress as something sexy and have it be a costume. But Sexy Nurse, Sexy Astronaut, Sexy Sexworker is just sort of tired.

Because girls wear pink, silly.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
But why the rash of costumes for girls that are sexy/slutty? especially sized for those who haven't developed yet?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

In the UK M&S came out with a range of "sexy underwear" products -- for kids, aged 6. They got withdrawn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, wait, I do feel better about that page of costumes, realizing that that's what comes up when you search for "Girls Costumes." The boy page includes some other ridiculous stuff, but not as much: [link]

Eeeewwww. For God's sake, let the kids be kids!
ETA: This was in response to Kevin's underwear post.
Engineer costume on that page is adorable!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I got no rage reducing rationale on those.

Yeah, those pictures were disturbing. Not only the costumes, but the way they were posing.

Uh. I think Playboy just left me a voicemail about a digital asset management position. I think I need to call back after work, because I must know.
