should i curtsy to you too?

the disturbing trend of girls (and even *gasp* women) bestowing themselves with the title of princess is alarming and disturbing me greatly.
they especially like prefixing their names with a (in a what they deem as adorable style - the mandatory oh-so-cute but perfectly redundant puntuations, deliberate misspelling and of course, of course, let us not forget the alternate caps) :
prIncEss^^
*ppprincesss*
and bla bla bla. in their bid to outshine each other in becoming the next common royalty, they lose their individuality and fuse into a pulsating pink blob.
i was at the STOMP portal just now (bad layout yes but damn, nothing beats quirky journalism) and found myself at the starblog link. to my indignation, they have recently recruited a tween blogger to blog there.
and her name?
princess michie. LOL
simi lan jiao lah. princess michie. LOLOLOL i am chuckling to myself in the office as i type this.
i dont know what's up with her but if i'm not mistaken she appeared on the frontpage of the new paper not too long ago when her blog got ridiculed or something.
thats not the point. the point is, if they are getting someone with a moniker like princess michie to blog for a portal thats run by our major daily.....................................
for the last fucking time all of you self-made princesses out there, stop deluding yourself. there are no pink castles with windows made of swarovski crystal, no fancy chiffon tutu gowns and definitely no prince to sweep you off into a lavender field on his white stallion.
and really, i wonder why they are settling for the second best when being queen definitely beats being some lowly princess.
yes thats right. make way for queen fiona all you minions.
no, make that qUeEeeen fiFi_**.
yours royally,
qUeEeeen fiFi_**, Her Royal Highness Fiona the Third, by the Grace of God of the Awesome Tampines Estate and probably Half of Sengkang of the Republic of Singapore.
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.
(no i am really busy with work in the office but it is therapeutic to blog in between :p)
