hello.
I want to point out something people fail to notice. We know ma larson wrote the episode but if you want get a idea what he thinks about princesses just watch his interview from free radio dated october.

i recommend watching the whole thing or skip to the 55:35
Its a very interesting interview i recommend people watch it. It will give you some insight on where he is taking the series to. The way he describes princess is basically whats happening in series. it has some similarities with disney princess.
To me its, different to lauren faust orginal idea.
