Bellmore Woman in WSJ Halloween Report

Would you break up with your significant other because you despise their costume?

Victoria Cameron is apparently warming to the idea of dating a chicken.

In a Wall Street Journal report about Halloween costumes and how they end relationships, Cameron said she was less than thrilled when her boyfriend chose to dress up as poultry. 

From the report:

Tommy Jay, a 25-year-old marketing executive from Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., was excited when he bought a fluffy yellow chicken suit to wear to a costume party. "I saw it as an investment in hilarity," he says. But when he showed it to his girlfriend, she threw a fit. "She clearly didn't want to be around a sweaty chicken," Mr. Jay says.

That was four years ago. Mr. Jay's girlfriend is long gone, and he still wears the suit every Halloween. His current girlfriend, Victoria Cameron, a 25-year-old waitress from Bellmore, N.Y., wasn't too thrilled when she learned about the suit, but she has begun to warm up to it. "I love who he is, chicken costume and all."

So here's a question: If you're dating someone who wants to dress up as, say, a banana, would you dump him or her immediately? Or would you run out and buy that strawberry costume?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
