Princesses out of control??

You know, we never bought in to that princess thing.   They just seems so fluffy and helpless and all about looks and sort of a prissy attitude.  However, we tried to keep an open mind - everyone is into different stuff. but to be honest, we had no idea it was getting this intense - with all the products and marketing - take a look at this blog from the Wall Street Journal -

Were you into princess stuff when you were little?  Are you still a princess or have you evolved in to a strong, out-spoken person? How about your friends and relatives - what have you observed?

How does treating a little girl like a princess tie in with the whole self-esteem movement?  Did your parents and teachers praise you for every little thing you did?  Did you feel like you deserved it?

I was a princess when I was little but now I am pretty outspoken and not too girly girl - but I think it is ok if you are -
