Hey, if your daughter really wants to dress up as a princess this Halloween, that’s cool. Kids should feel free to dress up as whatever and whomever they want (though I am so over the sexy costumes for girls and women. Sexy Bacon Strip. Really?)

Mashable came up with a great column, 18 Badass Girls Who Skipped Princess Costumes, compiled by Christine Erickson. Click through to see all 18 photos of these cuties in sci-fi, male superhero and other costumes.

I’m including my absolute fave here. She didn’t want to be a princess. She wanted to be Prince!

What’s your favorite?
