Omaha schoolgirl dresses as a different historical figure each day
October 17, 2012
This is how Stella Ehrhart, age 8, decides what to wear for school.
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.
Since the second grade! Wow. That is one inspired kid. She’s either going to be president or invent a new musical genre one day.
HufffPo has a slideshow of several of her outfits over this way…

She hasn’t been doing it for six years. The article says that she started on the second day of second grade. But it is impressive just the same though.
Thomas – yeah, I got that wrong over at FaceBook and corrected it! Thank you much!
Where does she get the wardrobe?
