[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I a bad person that I have a visceral reaction when I see girls in traditional princess costumes? If they’re non-traditional like Mulan or Leia (ie people who actually DO something) I’m okay with it. [b]Even the Frozen princesses who are so popular nowadays seem to just exist to be blonde [/b]and pretty. Btw I have a 5yo and so far we’ve been doing creative/neutral costumes like doctor or monkey, but she’s starting to get influenced by her K classmates :-/[/quote]

Yes, it's bad. Let your 5yo wear silly, frilly princess costumes. It's such a short phase. My daughters are 6 & 9 and are over princesses, although the 6yo still has a couple princess dresses for the occasional princess party. Neither ever dressed as a princess for Halloween. Let your 5yo wear a princess dress and tiara and wave a wand around. I promise you it doesn't mean she won't grow up to be a doctor, lawyer, etc.

Also, the main Frozen princess isn't blonde. She has auburn braids (with a white streak!) and is quite a strong character, not a damsel in distress. [/quote]
