That being the strange phenomenon of American women who perceive and describe themselves as Princesses.
I found that statement a little odd. I will admit to wearing a small tiara on my wedding day, but I'm not following you with regard to this being a substantial trend among American women.
Setting aside young girls who worship Disney creations and Paris Hilton (who is a "creation" unto herself), most of us appear, to me at least, to have a fairly decent grasp of the realities that have become our lives, and that wedding day tiara hasn't been worn since, if we were fortunate enough to wear one then.
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.
