Hi,
A 15th century justification for cross-dressing in costume, as well as pranking, on Purim:
"So, too, in our case, one does not intend to wear this for immorality, but rather to enhance the joy of Purim. Therefore, just as they did not erect a fence regarding theft since it is only for two nights and a day, so, too, here; theft and adultery emerge from the same root in a person’s nature."
(R’ Yehudah Mintz, Responsum #15)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
