"Bright young women, sick of swimmin'."

Huge crowds gathered in cities all over the world yesterday, January 20, for the second annual Women's March, and among the masses of people were plenty of colorful signs and creative outfit choices. One group of 13-year-old girls at the Los Angeles march took their posters and wardrobe to the next level with a Disney princess theme.

BuzzFeed News reporter Brianna Sacks shared photos of the Disney crew on Twitter, writing: "These 13-year-olds 'took damsels in distress and turned it around.'" In the pictures, you can see the six girls dressed as various princesses — ranging from Sleeping Beauty to Belle — and carrying signs with powerful messages related to the classic fairy tales.

"Bright young women, sick of swimmin'," one sign read, with homage to The Little Mermaid's Ariel. "I will not let it go" was the slogan of the girl dressed as Elsa from Frozen, while Peter Pan's Tinkerbell sported a poster saying "Pixie dust won't fix this."

When Sacks asked the girls why they chose to dress as these iconic characters, one of the teens replied: "We’re sick of being seen as princesses so we made our own take on it." Talk about an inspirational fairy tale — one that's perfect for 2018.
