OK vent post… Many of you guys who have daughters me understand this…
My daughter wants to be rainbow dash from my little pony friendship is magic for Halloween. Yes I do watch the show, yes I do enjoy it, no I am not a Brony as I do not own any paraphernalia or dress-up like one. I just am not annoyed when she chooses the watch that instead of the same episode of whatever other show that she watches for the hundredth time... Anyways I digress.
I started looking for costumes, and every single rainbow dash costume is nothing like a pony. It's a rainbow colored dress. Sometimes with ears, sometimes not. Regardless, looking nothing like a pony, and my daughter wants to look like the pony. Not some princess like human form of that said pony. It really bugs me that so many costumes for girls out there have to have dresses. She is not ever been caught up in the whole princess Fad, so why should whatever she takes interested in have to have a princess like dress? If she wanted to be Leonardo from the turtles, the girl version of The cost gym would probably have a dress. It's stupid!
Anyways, I could purchased costumes that someone makes for me, however they are very very expensive. But, there are also ways to make it yourself. That is probably what I'm going to end up doing. The problem is, now I need to find a light blue colored Hootie and leggings or sweatpants so that she can look like a pony. However, nowhere sells those! I have looked at seven different stores at least. Everything either has decoration on it, brand-name's on it, or is all like fancy so it's really expensive. The boy section doesn't have the right color of blue and she will complain.
Argh.... This would be so much easier if companies didn't expect all girls to aspire to wear a dress when they dress up!!!!!
