This little girl wore a hotdog costume instead of princess outfit, and basically won the internet

This little girl is named Ainsley. She's 5, and from North Carolina in the US - and she has gone viral for wearing a hotdog costume.

People are going crazy for the #HotDogPrincess, praising her individuality and calling her an inspiration. Ainsley's dance class was having a Princess Day, and instead of wearing a dress like all the other princesses, she opted to wear her hotdog costume. https://twitter.com/savagecourse/status/737998172883177472 Her father Brandon confirmed that she chose her own outfit saying, "No parent is ready to learn that their daughter is trending... #hotdogprincess Best part is it was all her idea!" https://twitter.com/turnerbrandon/status/738366132382490624 Grayson Lamontagne, a teacher at Ainsley's school who tweeted the original pictures, told BuzzFeed News:

“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. 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.”
