What is unhealthy about it? Is it because she's your boss?

I'm sorry you can't eat what you want in front of your husband. I SO understand. Is he "passive" about it, just commenting or is does he overtly bitch and disparage?

Sort of like using a diaphram while having a period. It is messy when you take it out, but some people would rather not have the pads.

I wish you were local (to me) I've been told I give "good foot".

LOL!

I don't know where the hell to put this, so I'm putting it here. Feel free to move it to wherever.

I have huge hair right now, and I feel like if you took bumpited Shakira's hair and morphed her with bouffanty Jackie Kennedy's hair.

I should probably stay away from open flame...

I think the princess label has been used two ways for a long time in popular culture....in the 1900 era books I was fed on, by authors like George MacDonald, L. Frank Baum, and Frances Hodgson Burnett, it was a calling to rise to, about being and becoming your best, rather than entitlement and being given reverence without any cause. That's why I've embraced the title more as I've grown up than I did as a kid--because it helps me remember to be my best, not because I think I deserve to be treated better (or heaven forbid, am better) than anyone else.

Though, I admit I do like the dresses. And in the best versions of the fairytales, the princess rarely is just a passive lump waiting on prince charming--in the best ones, she proves her worth entirely apart from her crown.

IC that even though I really did need to spend all day in the library doing school work, part of the reason I didn't go with my friends to the beach today was because the ones going are all tiny (like size 0 or 2), and I just wasn't up for it.*

[*Disclaimer: I totally swim and go to the beach and rock my fat self in a swimsuit all the time...it was just something about being the fat woman in a group of very thin women I just didn't want to deal with today, if that makes sense.]

ic: That i like being called "Princess". It only happens once a year if that. I never wear make-up anywhere or do my hair nice, except when going out to a club or party on the weekends, so when i'm called Princess it makes me feel feminine, like i must have got it right on that night. Even though i'm far from it i don't mind being perceived as high maintenance once in a while.
Though i have to agree that when it is in messages from people who do not know me, then that is different.

haha

yeah I like being called princess. My boyfriend calls me princess in a teasing way, especially when I'm being lazy and bratty, but it's really cute and I like it a lot. I don't care what other people say about hating the word princess. I think it's cute. I wouldn't wear it across my boobs, but hell, why not get the compliment. But I HATE being over the top complimented by complete strangers. It makes me vomit.

Sometimes he doesn't bother me about it, sometimes he does. I just have to remember that he doesn't mean to be bothersome about it - he just gets in these moods and I have to wait till they pass. Yesterday, we bought cookies and potato chips - ate 'em and nothing was said!

On the "princess" thing. I agree with Keb. I come from a time where "princess" was not a snarky title, but usually an endearment - mostly from fathers. It meant you were special. However, I agree with others about a total stranger calling you princess. It would be upsetting.

____

Now for my confession - I had great plans for today - someone must have thought I needed to sit in front of this computer all day - because I've been sick with cramping and "the green apple quickstep" all day. Had to take Immodium - though I hate to because it messes with my system. Just ugh!

Sorry to hear that, Punkin! Hope you get some good rest and wake up feeling better in the morning.

A princess is a woman who gained everything she has by her father's position. Regardless if she works hard or lumps it all day, she is still a princess.

THAT is why I think we should ask girls/women to achieve on their own, and not think they are automatically entitled.

Absolutely. I worked pretty darn hard on my own to achieve what I am today, and I'm proud of it. So I clearly wasn't a princess. Nowadays I only ask people to treat me as they would any other goddess.

THAT I can agree with!!

Green Eyed Fairy · 08-30-2009, 05:51 PM

I used to have some guy always message me and greet me as princess....I always corrected him that my real title is Queen
