"Kids can also be princesses," a project that gives a lot to talk about.

  • In children's parties, dressing up as a princess they like and an adult actress who represents that princess threatens the party is not uncommon in the United States. Photographer Kitty Wolf, in charge of organizing these activities, has launched the project “Boys Can Also Be Princesses”, in which they have recorded portraits of children dressed in their princess predilections. The initiative has received many insults and messages of support.

“I’ve seen guys who enjoy a lot of princess dresses, but they’re told it’s not a boys game, it’s not normal. And kids are embarrassed, they feel confused, sad and lonely. A child’s imagination cannot be limited by gender and the message I want to convey is that it is OK to be who you are, that you like what you like; you should not shame a child for doing what gives him joy,” says the project’s promoter.

The protagonists of the project are children disguised as adults accompanied by actors and actresses of the Princess, with the objective of supporting all of them and their families and encouraging those who so wish. The project has created a reaction rope: “I’ve been told everything, I’ve also been found guilty of social decay, I’ve received threats, and there are usually many who hate me.” In the photographer's words, these kinds of messages only emphasize the need for the project. However, most of the reactions are messages of support, and some have commented that he would have liked to take such an initiative when he was young to not feel so alone.
