for halloween, luna is going to be a.... guess... a pink princess! of course! we were on a rare trip to the store (i generally avoid talking her for this reason) and found a pretty damn cute princess costume that is not all disney-ish and shitty... long-sleeved even!
i try to indulge her when i can so i don't get coerced into the barbie/disney shit... she sees so little of that in her life (t-shirts on kids at school and a few friends' houses) but she is obsessed! i am trying to find a balance so she doesn't totally rebel... ha!
trying to keep the grandparents in check is the hardest thing about it all! they see one pink sparkly thing and they think all bets are off... a slippery slope i tell you!
i can easily see the value in the pretend/play aspect of the fairy/princess crap, i just loathe all the disney marketing and skinny-waisted fakeness of it... if i can keep her on fairies in books and stuff from bookbug, we are doing OK...luna is (and has been for a while) really into dressing and undressing dolls... like every day, twice a day... she does this with the doll of the week... i really think that is her thing with barbie's... she loves dressing and undressing them.. my friend has pointed me toward "groovy girls" so i think that is where we are headed with all this... soft, cool, dolls with normal bodies and cute stuff instead of whore clothing...
