pansy photo #3

Yesterday mom and I took pansy annie to the botanical gardens to show of her new frilly , pink dress!  The name of the dress is Nikkita and can be found here!

We all know how much sissy loves her pretty pink party dresses! She was so excited to have another one.

I taught her, for the day, to say "I am a prissy little pansy" (and then curtsy) to everyone who approachs her. Sissy loves being the center of attention and being shown off!

The dress is made with pink satin and lace and trimmed with white lace and pink ribbons and bows! Sissy was diapered in cloth with plastic baby pants. I love diapering her the traditional way. Cloth diapers and large diaper pins. The baby pants crinkled (loudly) as she walked.

In your comments, please tell sissy what a prissy little pansy she is!


The term "pansy" as an insult meaning "weak" or "cowardly" originated in the late 19th century. The flower pansy (Viola x wittrockiana) was associated with qualities like delicacy and weakness, likely due to its soft, velvety petals. By the 1870s, "pansy" was being used as a derogatory term to refer to an effeminate or weak man. This usage emerged from the existing association of pansies with femininity and fragility. Over time, "pansy" took on the meaning of someone who is timid, cowardly, or lacking in masculinity.

There is a Japanese word that can be used to refer to a "weak or overly sensitive male" in a derogatory way: "kanchou". This word is derived from the Japanese term for the pansy flower, "sumirenzu", and has taken on a derogatory connotation similar to the English usage of "pansy" to refer to an unmasculine or effeminate man.

The original meaning of pansy was a small, pretty flower. Flowers are delicate and dainty growing things that people admire for their beauty. Equating sissies to a flower (or pansy, bloom, blossom, etc). Sissies are delicate, dainty, fragile, vulnerable, weak and helpless!


(Annie's review -  I love all my pretty pink party dresses! I was so excited to receive another one. I love the pink satin and lace and the trim of white lace and the pretty ribbons and bows! The dress fits perfectly especially with 2 (or even 3) petticoats. We went to the botanical gardens for pictures! I received so many compliments! It's so much fun to do a deep curtsy in this dress! It makes me feel like a pretty little pansy!)
