Costume Drama

TV characters who like to play dress up:

Sam Weir (John Francis Daley) and his friends Neal Schweiber (Samm Levine), Bill Haverchuck (Martin Starr) and Harris Trinsky (Stephen Lea Sheppard) dressed up to go trick-or-treating in Freaks and Geeks.

Alan Shore (James Spader) and Denny Crane (William Shatner) dressed as flamingos for their office Halloween party in Boston Legal and referenced 80s teen film Pretty in Pink (which James Spader appeared in) when Alan said "Denny, you look pretty in pink".

Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) went undercover as a Russian knife-throwing act named Buck and Wanda Moosejaw in order to investigate the murder of conjoined circus twins in Bones.

CIA double agent Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) kicked ass and looked good doing it as she donned various disguises while attempting to bring down SD-6, and other organisations that threatened the security of the free world in Alias.

Weapon Wielding Women

Weapon wielding women from film and TV:
• Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) fought vampires, demons and forces of darkness in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She also saved the world -- a lot.
• CIA agent Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) donned wigs and kicked ass in Alias.
• Beatrix Kiddo aka The Bride (Uma Thurman) roared and rampaged and got bloody satisfaction in Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2.
• Thelma Dickinson (Geena Davis) and Louise Sawyer (Susan Sarandon) went on an impromptu cross-country crime spree in Thelma & Louise.
• Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) was young and in love and robbed banks in Bonnie and Clyde. She also seriously rocked a beret!
