Stardoll knows there's more than a few fantasy princesses between here and Starplaza. 

Have you ever dreamed of being a princess - or at least getting to fill in for one ?!?  Wouldn’t that just have to be the best temp gig ever …Stardoll also knows just what you should read to find out:

PRINCESS FOR HIRE by Lindsey Leavitt.

Let’s say that one day a well-dressed woman steps out of a – well a full on fairy godmother bubble, and  asks you if you’d like to become a substitute princess.  Spend a little time filling in for princesses worldwide when they need a little R&R.

Your answer might very well depend on how things were going in your life, maybe you could use a dash of glamor.

Let’s read a little and see how things are going for Desi Bascomb  from  PRINCESS FOR HIRE, see if we can figure out which way she’s going to jump …



 “If my life were made into a movie—The Desi Bascomb Story Revealed—I’d use artistic license to make a few minor changes. Like switch the setting to somewhere besides Sproutville, home of the Idaho Potato Days Festival. And rewind back to the forties or fifties, a time of flowing head scarves, glamour, and what’s-wrong-with-butter? cuisine. And cast Audrey Hepburn to play me (or a young Julie Andrews if Audrey was on another project). Oh yeah—I’d also give the director some small suggestions, just to add a little sparkle to the otherwise tragic script.

1. Avoid dressing me as a rodent on steroids. There’s a reason models aren’t sporting groundhog costumes on the catwalk. Actually, make that one million nine hundred and thirteen reasons, all too gruesome to list.

 2. Give me a cooler summer job than passing out goldfish coupons in front of a mall pet store.  Literally cooler. Iffy AC + world’s worst work “uniform” = stinky, furry sauna.

3. Don’t compromise my dignity in the presence of the popular people. Ever.

 Basically, avoid portraying my actual life.

  But hey. There was one perk to wearing a six-pound groundhog head … “
