I was crowned princess this evening. Twice.
In fact I was crowned pretty, pretty princess :). Does anyone else remember that game from childhood? Hannah and I loved playing Pretty, Pretty Princess when we were little! I was babysitting this evening, and playing the game with my little charges brought back so many memories! For a skill-less game, it's fun to play. You acquire those extremely-tacky-and-cheap earrings, necklace, bracelet, ring, and crown, and you just feel like royalty :). Of course, be careful of the dreaded "black ring"! *insert soundtrack of the first few measures of Beethoven's Fifth here*
I am curious if everyone else played the game as a little girl. I think it uncovers a universal desire in every little (and big) girl - the desire to be a princess. Of course, as a Christian, I am royalty already. I'm not just the daughter of an earthly monarch. I am the daughter of The King. I am daughter of my Creator. I am heir not to an earthly domain, but to a heavenly one. Even without all the plastic jewelry, I am a princess!

Yes!! I remember!!
Thanks for reminding me though, I had forgotten about it! The last toy/game I was sentimentalizing about was Skip-it. Did you ever have one of those?? I love it. I'm strongly considering digging through our storage building to find mine, or else going to the store to buy a new one (do they even still make them??)... *sigh* yes, I remember the good ol' days. I think I must be getting old. The early nineties are seeming very nostalgic lately...
A quick search on ebay yielded an item listed as "Vintage Tiger Toys Skip It Counter Jump Rope".... with the old, old, old date of: 1988. If '88 is "vintage," boy, Susan, you and me and Hannah and the rest of us on here must be "antique"! Seen any good nursing home advertisements lately?? Oh wait, I don't believe in nursing homes... I forgot. In my old age.
Hmm I've heard of "Pretty Pretty Princess" but I'm pretty sure I never played it or saw it being played.
Ah, vintage games. What fun. :-) We were big Lite-Brite fans.
I remember Skip-It! Hannah had one of those. Even my ultra-clumsy self managed to get the hang of it after a while. 1988 is vintage???? I was 4. It can't be vintage. *off to peer at self in mirror, examining for wrinkles* ;)
I remember Lite-Brite, Ashley. That was so much fun to play with.
Zan, I didn't have to play the bad lady, but I always had to play the guy! Yep, that's right, Susan, "Miss Feminine," was usually the male lead. Here for example, I am the "Dude" in a modernized version of Cinderella. And I was always my best friend's fiance when we played with her and her sisters. *sigh* It comes of being the tallest (and usually the oldest) in most of my circles of friends.
Zan, I laughed at your comment that I make a "very good Dude." Haha. I would like to clarify that the hair in the picture was a wig! :).
