I wrote before about little girls and the princess thing, but little girls aren’t the only ones who go for princesses. I always like finding a princess who rocks. Generally, that ends up being Cinderella, because she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty (and I am pleased as punch to have discovered a kick-butt Cinderella in Jim Hines’ Princess books), but I’m gaining more respect for Rapunzel all the time. And, okay, it’s a commercial for a hair straightener, but this Rapunzel literally rocks.

I promise that I’ll have a book list of awesome princess books at some point, too. I just like seeing the media bust a stereotype they helped create.
