Kids Diana Show
1.4 Million Subscribers This channel is for young girls and consists of videos of a five-year-old girl talking about her favorite toys, sharing fashion advice and showing off her collection of Disney dolls.

A lot of grown men seem upset that there are little girls who look like boys. The creator, Heather Holley, has also made an official Kids Diana Facebook page.
