Great comments folks-- any objections to the princess stuff out there? too commercial? Gender role stereotypes? Or are you all OK with it?

Give your kid an odd name/distinct brand identity and then promote it until she is old enough to make money off it. Shameless pimping of your children a la Kathy Lee Epstein Gifford. Where are Cody and Cassidy now?

"It won't last long, shut the fuck up and take a picture."

Great advice.

I would never let my daughter grow up thinking shes a princess. she would be smart self sufficient, athletic, artistic and free spirtited.

I hate the princess mentality and more-so how little girls are brought up with these ideas. It's why a lot of women are very VERY idealistic and ultimately makes for a lot of pain in the long run when things don't end up like the "fairy tales" do. Makes me sick... Not hating on penn's video or choice in any way, if anyone could guide his girl to a more realistic way of life it's Penn.

I think as long as the emphasis of princess parties is on fantasy, make believe and other creative outlets they won't be in any way damaging. The problem, I think, comes when parents dote on their child, spoil them and encourage a sense of entitlement because they're little princesses. Also reinforcing gender roles and being a 'lady'. But that's not going to happen just because of a princess themed party.

People may criticize him for over thinking a child's birthday party but I'm sort of with him on this one, conceptually anyway. People wouldn't be so cavalier about accepting a 'Spanish Inquisition' kids birthday party, even if the kids had 'no idea' about the politics of said event and only loved the 'funny costumes' and bright colors... or something. I'd use a better metaphor but I'm drunk and nobody cares anyway. Elvis didn't do no drugs!

Thats not hypocrisy thats the power of love. some things are just more important then standing up for your principles.
