Smiling broadly here. Thank you – a fairy tale ending that I could support. The relying on a Prince Charming has worried me since I was little…

Well, Prince Charming did have a part to play — being non-existent 😉

Cute, and I like the come-uppance :). Though she might have created a monster, in the form of Disney princesses.

This one flipped the Cinderella story on its head. But Ella has it wrong. The fairest of them all is me! 😉
