21st Century Princess

This may come back to bite me in the butt, yet I'm doing it anyway. Jumping head first into creating a party for Emily with a princess theme. And I HATE little girls who refer to themselves as princesses. It can be so saccharine. Really I hate the "aren't I cute, look at me" attitude. My princess is more of a " I will kick your butt if you don't know how to treat a girl with respect" kind of princess. Which is why Emily wears all of Anya's hand-me-down cowboy boots with her tutu's! And so she is learning what it means to be a princess from her cousin - we come from a long line of ass kickin women anyway! Rita, Kathy, Mollie...you know who you are. So I have been shopping and finding all these great Dollar Store items to create a make believe world where all girls get to wear " sparklish" tiaras and wands and the few boys who will be in attendance get to have crowns. Everyone else will laugh or gag at how I've colored everything around us pepto-bismo pink. We'll see how is goes, but I think party planning is my kind of gig.
