I'll Get You, My Pretty!
Okay, folks. Response to a recent post has left me flabbergasted. Unless you're a very recent reader of this blog, you have no excuse for not knowing about Pretty Pretty Princess. In fact, if you are gay, have gay friends, or have relatives under the age of six - especially gay relatives under the age of six - then shame on you for being in the dark!!!
I, however, am a forgiving man (well, not usually, so run with it while you can) and am here to enlighten.
Behold!
"Play dress-up with your friends as you collect fancy jewelry from the jewelry box. Collect your own matching color necklace, bracelet, ring and earings. But beware the Black Ring! If you get it, you must get rid of it before you can win. When you have all of your jewelry plus the crown, you win the game! Then you'll be pretty as a princess - the Pretty Pretty Princess!"
Some other useful information from the box:
-Features a crown, mirror, and 21 pieces of colorful jewelry.
-Ages 5 and up, 2-4 Players.
-WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Some useful information that I think should be on the box:
-Should only be played while drinking copious amounts of champagne. Or tequila.
-Real jewelry should not be used. However, costumes are encouraged.
-Flash photography is absolutely mandatory.
-WARNING: Screaming queens have tendency to break tiara when game gets heated. Buy a backup game set!
Available at a toy store near you for $9.99 - but you'll feel like millions! Go forth, friends, and experience the adventure and drama that is Pretty Pretty Princess.
You're so welcome.

Posted by: L at January 11, 2007 10:31 PMWow , are they gonna come and snatch my gay card from me for not knowing about this ?? Oh crap I said snatch in this comment too .....maybe it was just a phase.
Posted by: scottk at January 12, 2007 1:07 AMOK...one more warning that needs to go on the box. When playing Pretty Princess with MAK...sober or extremely intoxicated... let him win. Because if you win...again sober or extremely intoxicated... said MAK will throw a 6 year old hissy fit.
I say this from experience as I have beat him twice. Not that I am rubbing it in or anything. ;o) Love you hon!
Posted by: Jenn at January 12, 2007 9:40 AMIt is exactly as I expected it would be, and yet so much better somehow.
Posted by: Foxy at January 12, 2007 11:00 AMIt really looks fun!
Posted by: daniel at January 12, 2007 3:34 PMShut up! Awesome, I love it! I wasn't going to admit it, but I didn't know what it was when I read your earlier post--I wanted to be cool, too.
Posted by: Lynn at January 12, 2007 5:00 PMoh good lord you sound fun. I forgot all about the race for the tiara!
Little Tuna Girl was so dissapointed she didn't get to play at your house.
Considering how many gay uncles have sent my kids gifts over the last year, it is unfathomable that neither one of them has this game.
Posted by: Karen at January 12, 2007 5:46 PMOkay, I didn't know what this was either ...
And still, how did K.'s speedo enter the picture? And more importantly, end up on the table?
Posted by: Matt at January 12, 2007 6:57 PMYou need to get a vintage Dream Date game too!
Posted by: homer at January 12, 2007 9:08 PMYou're going to have to accept that this is an incredibly obscure game. I have a 6-year-old niece who's into all things pink and princessy, and yet I only know of this from a certain homo's blog.
Posted by: Adam875 at January 13, 2007 11:27 PMSometimes, reading your blog makes me feel so straight! :)
Okay, I admit it. I want to be invited for a game!
Posted by: Jess at January 14, 2007 6:34 PMI am SO there the next time you play. You showed me the box (box! snatch! what's this comment box coming [!!] to?) when I was at your place, but we didn't indulge. Why's that? I know not. That must be remedied.
Posted by: Jodi at January 15, 2007 5:11 AMI consider myself to be duly chastised, and educated.
I know a whole stack of queens that'll be scrabbling for princess status just for the faux shift to a more youthful title.
Fun for all the 'family'.
Posted by: Craig at January 16, 2007 2:53 AMWhat the.. Oh THERE it is... Geez... I think you've been hit by a big ol' spambot.
No, I didn't say spambottom...
Anyway... thanks for explaining Pretty Pretty Princess once and for all. I think my friends and I would have a crazy good time playing with this one. :)
