Do you know what the most popular costume was last Halloween? Go ahead, take a wild guess. No, it wasn’t something from Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. It wasn’t a classic witch or a warlock. It was none other than a princess dress. How funny is that? I guess we males of the world should realize that we’re clearly out-numbered. I can’t believe I didn’t even know this before last week. And my daughter has been a princess twice on Halloween already. Not to mention the countless times she dresses as some sort of princess just for fun. So all you parents out there, who don’t know what to dress your tiny girls up as on Halloween, this is a sure-win. Nothing beats the classic princess costume.
I can’t even begin to fathom how many different flicks I’ve seen with princesses in them. The Disney ones alone are endless. Now, if you have a young daughter and you live in the United States, odds are that you’ll be purchasing a Disney princess dress at some point or another. My daughter is now seven and I’ve bought four of them. First it was Belle on her fourth Halloween, then it was Princess Jasmine from Aladdin, then Cinderella, and finally Snow White. Regardless of whether or not these characters are all considered true princesses is irrelevant. My daughter says they’re princesses. I can hardly argue with that.
It’s funny how powerful the princess dress is. Young girls glance at it in awe and dream of being that lucky girl. But, what it they’re dreaming of? It is the money and servants, because the real-life princesses I’ve seen are not all that attractive. Anyway, I will probably never grasp the true grandeur of being a princess and why all the young girls pretend with their adorable princess costumes. One thing I do know for sure is that if you get your little lady all dolled-up in her cute princess dress, she will receive oodles of candy from adoring parents and grandparents on Halloween night. This is inevitable. It’s worked for us twice, and it will work for you as well. Especially with the elderly women. There must be a certain nostalgia when they peer down at a small girl in her princess dress.
