Princess Pedinska

I found that statement a little odd...Can you give me some examples of what you are referring to here? Because this "phenomenon" sure hasn't been something I've seen in the women in my life.

Completely agreed, my dear. I suppose that's what the men of the Donner Pass tragedy were thinking as they withered and passed: "Damn, if only I were a princess, I might get out of here alive." Translation: There's a reason more girls, I mean Princesses, survived than boys.

I will admit to wearing a small tiara on my wedding day...

Are you sure Jebbie wasn't the one wearing a small tiara?
