Princess Tips

I received a call from the UK branch of my book publisher, asking me to come to the UK to promote princess academy. Very cool. Part of the conversation went something like this:
UK publicist: "We thought we might do a princess party and send out the invitations as though inviting the guests to attend the princess academy. But would you feel comfortable wearing a tiara to the party?"
Me: "Would I feel comfortable wearing a tiara to the party? When wouldn't I feel comfortable wearing a tiara?"
She also wondered if I could write some tips on becoming a princess, based on the story in the book. They made postcards with these tips on them, which some of you may have seen:

How to Be a Princess

  • Learn to walk with a boot on your head

  • Put on your favorite dress

  • Read books after everyone else has gone to bed

  • Memorize all the rules

  • Break the rules

  • Save your friends from uncertain danger

  • And, most importantly, just be a girl
