Danielle Taylor, a high school student in Georgia, thought her school’s choice of prom theme was “awful,” so she decided that a little heroic action was called for. Taylor recently posted photos on Arrow star Stephen Amell’s Facebook page (brought to our attention by the fine folks at A Mighty Girl, who reposted on their own Facebook page); she said that the prom’s theme was “Sweet Dreams or CandyLand” and explained her mission: “So being the nerdy person I am, I designed my prom outfit after the Arrow, and said, ‘Prom, you have failed this high-school’.” One of her friends wore a Flash-inspired dress, and they were the hit of the evening. She intends to wear her Arrow dress again at DragonCon in September.
You can see the photos on Amell’s page, and be sure to also visit A Mighty Girl for more ways to help your own girls be heroic in their everyday lives.
