It was recently princess week at five-year-old Ainsley's dance studio, so, naturally, Ainsley dressed as her favorite princess: a hot dog.

For what snack could be more royal than a frankfurter, with its crown of mustard and robes of bread? To be frank, we can't think of anything.

Ainsley's delightful outfit — and impeccable posture — hit Twitter earlier this month when her dance teacher, Grayson, expressed her admiration.

Since then, Ainsley has received nearly universal acclaim for her brave disregard for traditional princess norms. You know, like dresses, perfectly coiffed hair and not being an encased sausage.



But also, was she referring to Hot Dog Princess from Adventure Time? If so, even more kudos.

And according to her dad, the whole stunt was her idea. Hot Dog Princess knows what the people want.

As Lee Ann Womack would say, we hope you dance, Hot Dog Princess.
