Stella as (L) Billie Holiday and (R) Princess Grace on her wedding day
Many children like to dress up for school, but third grader Stella Erhart, age 8, takes dressing up to a whole 'nother level:
She opens her closet. She opens her book, “100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century.” And she opens her mind.
Voilà, she is Billie Holiday, in a black dress with a red tissue-paper flower tucked into her strawberry-blond hair.
Behold, she is Grace Kelly in pink satin lace on her wedding day.
Poof, she is Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, wearing a hat her aunt got her in Vietnam.
The Dundee Elementary School third-grader comes to school dressed as a different historical figure or character — Every. Single. Day. And she's done that since the second day of second grade, when this all started.

Guys, you've been warned.
I just wonder how long until it becomes an unhealthy obsession.
