ABOUT ME

Well modern time and rather then a prince you have a wealthy business man but happily ever after isn't as easily gotten in the movies.
 
hey! i would be interested in:


1. cinderella


2. the unfit princess - the only thing with this one is that i'm not very familiar with role playing in the 1950s
 
I like both Heiress and The Journalist, but I feel my knowledge about those time frames may be lacking too severely to play them out appropriately.
