POP PRINCESS

The first time we built a Pop Princess party it was all about Britney, Christina, and some British girls named after random spices. Nowadays, when you think "Pop Princess" you think Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, or Rihanna... and you wouldn't be wrong. While we're still going to have those classic pop princesses represented (I know the '90s don't seem that long ago, right?!), we're gonna move closer to today's heroines of pop.

But, as we're going Gaga over our Beyonces and Katy Perrys, it doesn't mean we'll forget about our Madonnas, Benatars, and Whitneys. So gussy up like your favorite princess and get down to the Alamo for some aural confections. With the Action Pack as your directors of poppy fun, you no longer have to pretend that you don't know all these lyrics by heart. (We totally see you in your car singing "Firework”...it's okay; it's a fun song to sing) Come embrace all the joy that pop princesses bring cause "we'll keep dancin' till the world ends!"  (Greg MacLennan)
