Dang, he was a lot cuter than that Rick doofus, a trip to Rome (w/parties), a $40,000.00 necklace, AND she didn’t have to marry him!

That would be Princess Di.

Wow! Who trained you so well? She seems to have done a damn fine job.

Was anyone else thinking WTF during that last segment where the women spoke to the prince and that one princess wanna-be got emotional and started to cry? What the hell was up with that?!?!?

I didn’t think any of those women were very pretty. Some were cute (some were just plain old ugly!). I was really expecting a bunch of beauty queens up there. My SO and I kept saying that he was going to choose the blonde girl (the one that he did choose!) because she had big boobs! It was interesting to watch. A helluva lot better than the Who wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire.

Nah, **Unc** , you’re just going to have to settle for being a queen. 😉

Well, my early indoctrination was from Mrs. ShibbOleth and my now five year old daughter, the eldest Olethling[sup]TM[/sup]. And repeated viewings of the remake of The Little Princess:

I’d like to marry a millionairess, but I’d hate to be thought of as just a trophy husband. Maybe she could be a movie star and I could be her “manager”. That works for lots of Hollywood couples.

Do you have any glass slippers in that huge shoe collection of yours?
