Costume Help

I'm thinking of writing a Halloween story for Walnut Grove, but I need some help in deciding what costumes some of the girls should wear.

I already know what Jo & Hilary will be wearing, but I need some ideas for costumes for Gretchen & myself, Charity, Andi, Maggie & Tammy.

So please use the comments to make suggestions, either for particular girls or in general. If I get too many good suggestions, I'll use them for some of the minor characters.

Thanks!

Yuri article

Manga and anime treats heterosexual and homosexual relationships fairly equally. Gay, lesbian and heterosexual relationships are just relationships in most stories. Gay couples face the same difficult scenarios encountered by heterosexual couples.

Lesbian Swans

From The Boston Globe: "Famed swan couple is all-female"

Girl Crush!

In today's New York Times, Stephanie Rosenbloom writes about the phenomenon of female attraction: "She's So Cool, So Smart, So Beautiful: Must Be a Girl Crush"

I suppose I've had 'girl crushes' myself, but I always figured that they should lead to physical romance :)
