Theaters in my area rent costumes for Halloween. The best costumes come from there and arent slutty at all. Rental prices are 20 per day, 20 dry cleaning fee.

Speaking of which:

Isn’t that how the artists normally draw them? 😛

There’s a reason Dan Savage calls Halloween “Straight Pride Day.”

Reminds me of the classic College Humor video, [Nick’s Costume Warehouse](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4rUiV_Hh74). Sexy Abraham Lincoln!
