Sure, if you had $60 to spend, you could get a nice renaissance gown or dress up as Queen Elizabeth; otherwise, it was slutty vampire, skanky witch, sexy zombie (?!), hot nurse... um, slutty cat, slutty bunny-rabbit, slutty whatever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don't even get me started on the costunmes aimed at teenaged girls- what was supposed to be a dress was shirt-length, at best... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And why is it that even in matching his n' hers costumes, the guy looks decent and the woman looks like a big ol' hooker? I'm thinking of pirate costumes specifically, but there are others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And as for gender disparity, no one wants to see half naked men, right?&lt;/p&gt;
