A Call to Self-Pampering

Adorably packaged, insightful and hilarious! I loved every page of this smart little book. It's a rare find: a publication geared toward women that focuses on their own enjoyment, not man-pleasing, child-rearing or (heaven forbid) career advancement. There's a proper time for those things, too, of course... right after you've taken the morning off to go shopping with your poodle-in-a-purse in tow.

We Princesses Do Know Who We Are!

Hysterical and true! This is my best friend and myself to a tee. There is a princess in all of us. Refreshing to read though that a princess not only loves to look great and loves to play hostess, but has to be good at her job, and CAN and DOES take care of herself and is "her own sugar mama!" Loved it!

Warm, wise and witty!

I adored Francesca Castagnoli's 'Zine of the late '90s by the same title. I loed that this fellow Long Island Girl turned her wedding into her own magazine. Much of her wedding expertise and wit are in the last chapter of the book.Her, wonderful, concept of being a princess is actually all about power, poise and self confidence. There is nothing demeaning about it! She argues that women need to take care of themselves to feel their best. She also expresses the need for friendships among women rather than cattiness.Her tips on finding a style muse are wonderful and something all "profashional" women need to consider. This is like an etiquette book for the modern woman, but instead of stuffy manners she encourages women to just have fun and be themselves!I read it from cover to cover the day I purchased it and have continually flipped throught it! I hope Francesca keeps on writing!

I'm a Princess! Say it loud and proud!

This is a clever book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Some of us were just born Princesses, and this book helps us embrace it instead of shun it. Never again will I feel guilt when someone calls me a "Princess". If the tiara fits, wear it with pride!

FOR THE MODERN PRETTY PRETTY PRINCESS

PERFECTLY POSH! For anyone who truly is a *perfect* princess, this ultimate Princess Manifesto is for you! It has labeling of the different kinds of "Princess Shoppers", closet rules (satin hangers only!), princess-language (what cute really means...), and even the Princess Pooch! This book is the WORKS! This book was so much like me- it was eerie! A glamorous guide for modern day royalty (*especially those who don't have the official title!). My best read in ages! C'est magnifique!
