Girly Gone Geek: Batman Princess, plus Star Wars Princess

Though we’re months away from Halloween, what’s Valentine’s Day without a little sweetness?  Behold, the Batman Princess.

As spotted on Comics Alliance, this post comes from Donkey’s tumblr page. Alas, with no commentary. I would love to know the backstory behind the costume, and the neighbors’ reactions.

Donkey’s tumblr page also links to her flickr album, where I found this little beauty – not quite Princess Leia, but a Star Wars princess, nonetheless.

I love how the little girl is allowed to embrace both her geeky and girly selves. How have you helped young girls feel empowered about their love of geeky things?

    Adorable! I want to be a Batman Princess for Halloween now. It’d probably embarrass my teens though!

    I was wearing my Princess Leia t-shirt while tucking in my 5 year old niece. She wanted me to tell her about the pretty girl on my shirt, so I told her the story of Princess Leia. How a strong princess stood up for what she believed in and helped save people in need and that because of her, the universe became a safer, better place. She smiled and told me she wanted to be just like that princess when she got bigger. I told her I’d help
