    Dear perfume-lovers, please keep your sense of humor regarding such fragrances! (This looks like it belongs next to the row of Barbies at Toys R Us or something.)

      My sense of humor is intact — I laughed out loud 😉

    Aren’t we all a bit sick of those flankers? I hope that Vera Wang (among some other companies) soon step up and do something interesting! I wonder if its because of the money trouble, the world seems to have, that they focus on the safe side?

    Didn’t someone jokingly suggest this name when she released Rock Princess? Maybe we’ll get a Goth Princess, yet.

      Rock Princess was aimed at goths wasn’t it.

      I was told by the SA at Chanel in Hamburg that they may be coming out with 75 ml Les Exclusifs for the holidays…

    Got big laughs out of this one. “Eclectic and edgy” is sooooo not preppy… and the packaging should have been pink and apple green, not pink and blue.

    I lived through those days. Frightening, I know! I suppose “retro preppy” is nothing like “preppy back in the day”… and that’s fine. I’m just, you know, getting older and crankier.

      Mals,

      That’s what I thought (after I stopped laughing)…..Vera is just slightly ‘off’ preppy – she should’ve asked Kate Spade for some advice..

      xoA

      ps. congrats again on the NaNoWriMo win!!!

        Wha?? You WON nanowrimo??? I bow down. How did you even have the time??? The only way I’d get that done is if I duct taped my finger to the “a” on the keyboard for a million lines and then wrote a final concluding paragraph. Congrats a million times over. What frag are you buying to celebrate?

      Having lived through the horrors of pink polo shirts, I’m cranky with retro preppy too. It’s not preppy unltill there’s an Izod logo on it.

    I’ve tried all of the princesses apart from flower princess I think.
    and I can’t remember any of them. I can vaguely recount glam princess but I remember it being what I expected or what I wanted it to be.

    the princesses would be nice but they are forgettable and the lasting power and strength of all of them is just quite pathetic. I don’t mean to be nasty but I couldn’t think of a better word. would bleak be a better word?

    That seriously sounds like a joke.

    Preppy Princess? Really?

    After this, she really might as well release “Italian American Princess” or something.

      “Italian-American Princess” would be a big seller in Rhode Island.

      Haha – you don’t have to hide! After all, I like the Katy Perry Purr bottle.

        This is where I also have to admit that I own (and still like) the original Princess, isn’t it?

        Of course, I say that I still like it, but I haven’t worn it in a couple of years. It’s entirely possible that if I try it again, it will have gone the way of my DKNY Be Delicious and I’ll hate it.

    I actually found Flower Princess really nice in a floral/honeysuckle sort of way, and liked Rock Princess as it reminded me of MJ’s Lola. But Preppy… I’m going to hold out for the Goth Princess, too.

    I was at Macys yesterday and the ladies there were telling me there’s going to be a new Princess. I haven’t heard a thing. They said it was in a black bottle with sparkles. I was like, are you sure you’re not talking about the dark grey w/ sparkles Rock Princess? They said it was Night something or other. If it’s a black bottle, I might have to finally give into a Princess. : )

      Have not heard anything, but you usually know more than me! But, am quite sure they are far from done with the Princess franchise 🙂

    Yeah a rep confirmed Princess Night to me today. I keep forgetting if it’s Princess Night or Night Princess. It’s probably Night Princess. She said it officially launches in early January but that it will most likely show up in-store just in time for xmas. She said it’s along the lines of Rock Princess. I don’t care for Rock that much so I’m hoping she’s wrong. Haha. Oh and she said Bang Bang is coming next yr! Dang it! Haha. : )

    You know, I’m actually rather fond of how this smells. (Didn’t try it on, though. Not a clue when it settles like.) But I can’t imagine anyone over the age of 9 walking around wearing something called Preppy Princess. IMHO, it smells pretty nice. It’s a shame I refuse to wear it.
