Princess

While perusing a local enormous store, Herself and I came across a display in one of the toy aisles, advertising a new set of Barbie dolls.  The tag line:  "There's a princess in every girl."

What does that mean?  Does every girl have a secret longing to be a princess?  Is every girl already a princess, and just needs Barbie princess charm school to bring said princess to the forefront?  And should we be concerned that Herself is not in the least bit princess-y? (She is rather an antithesis of a princess, if you will.)  Should she be searching for her inner princess?  If she cannot find her inner princess, does that mean that she is deficient as a girl?

She wrinkled her brow at the advertisement, and then realized that in all likelihood, princesses do not wrinkle their brows.

She has never liked Barbies.
