It was princess day at dance and one little girl came as a hot dog I have never admired someone more

This is Ainsley. She is 5. During Princess Week at her dance class she decided she would rather dress as a hot dog.

Pictures of Ainsley started being shared widely on Twitter last week after being picked up by popular comedy accounts, as well as by YouTube star Tyler Oakley.

Since when are being a hot dog and being a princess two mutually exclusive things? This girl makes total sense to me https://t.co/h1Dp1m9zcB

The fact that one of the girls I assist for came to princess day as a hotdog made my week

The original photos were posted in mid-May by Sarah Nativi and her friend Grayson Lamontagne, who teach at Holly Springs School of Dance in North Carolina.

"She loves princesses, but she wanted to be original and wear a hot dog costume instead," she said. "She wore a princess costume underneath it and said she was a princess on the inside!"

"The whole next week I couldn't stop telling everyone about it and they couldn't stop talking about how precious it was and how it made their whole week," she said.

She said she decided to tweet the photos because she loved how comfortable Ainsley was in her own skin.

"I wanted to share the pictures first of all because it was so innocent and cute, and also because I was so impressed with how confident a little girl could be with herself to just wear whatever she liked the best," she said. "Her parents and I agree that it's a great message for young girls and they are, as I can imagine, very proud of Ainsley."
