Pretty Pretty Princess
Ok so who remembers Pretty Pretty Princess the board game? I DO. I don't really know who I use to play with back then ( maybe my mom and aunts by force) or maybe my girl cousins who didn't come around that often. Who knows? The point is the game was very girly. It was all about getting jewels. No boys allowed. If you rolled the dice and landed on a picture of a bracelet you would be able to chose a princess trinket from out of the treasure box in the middle . There were so many jewels to chose! (Can you read my excitement?) I know the commercial looks like corn on a stick now but it is a fond memory to me.
The winner would take the crown and show off for the whole day! If you happen to be playing with me there was no contest. ")
Ahhh those were the the days of innocence when dreams ran free.
Don't get me wrong I loved playing police and matchbox line up with the boys but there was something about being a princess. Putting on the gaudy plastic ring made me feel elegant, womanly. Chosen. I basked in it. Play conversations with my girl cousins made me feel such a sophisticate.
And of course We all waited for our imaginary prince to arrive, topple the pieces over and carry us to a land far far away (hear the harps playing) ... Then the boys came and brought us back to reality.
I couldn't have "adult" conversations with boys there was no time in between the running and jumping over fake cliffs. There was barely time to breathe.
Thinking about Pretty Pretty Princess brings a smile to my face. Maybe I am making too much of it but This was a game Where a girl can delight in her girliness and dream on.
I am a proud 90's chick. I think everything was best then.
Do the girls of today have anything like Pretty Pretty Princess or are all games on the computer, playing with Ipads and iphones? Boardgames, hand games, jump rope, anything? ( insert if you know of one)
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see it. Barbies have become extinct a long time ago. Dress up. Forget it! "Skip it" was a daily exercise routine for me but then there's Dance Revolution.
Tell me where are the Pretty Pretty Princesses? Little Girls should be able to dream in PINK if they want to. I still do ( maybe ORANGE) but you know what I mean.
Little girls in their natural behavior. Little Girls how God intended. Little girls that dream big grow to be visionaries, pioneers, teachers, writers, entrepreneurs, storytellers, instruments of God; great moms, dynamic wives. I remember my mom's friend promising me at Disney World that she was going to make me my own medieval princess hat. The one with the ribbon trailing down the back. Apparently the one I wanted in Disney World wasn't good enough. Where's my medieval princess hat mom's friend? It's been eighteen years and I'm still waiting for it...Never mind.
And of course there's Suri

To all my 90's girls we are still princesses. If you call God "Abba" meaning Father, you are entitled to wear that crown. Wear it with grace and dignity! Encourage another; connect her to royalty. In Christ is where dreams really do come true!
