The Princess and the Stilettos for Valentine’s Day from Jina Bacarr on Vimeo.
When I was a little girl, a princess I wanted to be
So I got all dressed up looking for a prince to marry me
I searched high and low
But found no beau
As I got older
I got a little bolder
I dressed to kill
But no boyfriend still
What’s wrong with me? I wanted to know
I work so hard to be perfect and I’m always on the go
It’s your shoes, my best friend said, rolling her eyes
Princesses wear sexy shoes to please the guys
Like Cinderella? I said, with her slipper made of glass
Yes, you need sexy stilettos so he’ll make a pass
Not so, I assured her confident and wise
A smart girl knows how to get the guys
Oh yeah? she said, wrinkling her nose
Try it if you dare and forget your woes
So shopping I went stilettos to buy
And sexy undies to get a guy
In the end I got my prince wearing no shoes at all
Like Cinderella, I ran from the Ball
With my handsome prince hot on my tail
My stiletto in hand, looking for me to no avail
What happened, you ask? so curious and fine
How did I find my Valentine?
True, the sexy kicks helped me to catch his eye
But in the end it was something much more sly
Instead of trying so hard Miss Perfect to be
I ended up doing what came naturally
Like a dancing princess, I kicked off my shoes and danced all night
When this gorgeous man grabbed me and wouldn’t let me out of his sight
How did I know he was a man not to be missed?
Take one look at him. It was in his kiss…
We all love fairy tales — so why not a “Happily Ever After” Museum for #MuseumDay?
I love museums.
I’ve traipsed through the Louvre, hung out at the Franklin Institute in Philly, and faced off with an Egyptian queen up close and personal in Berlin.
History…so precious. It shapes us and our stories.
But what the other history?
The one that exists only in…dare I say it…fairy tales?
Wouldn’t you love to see Cindy’s glass slipper? Her ball gown? See if her pumpkin coach has plush, orange satin cushions?
And:
Sleeping Beauty’s 100-year-old bed
Snow White’s poison apple
The Evil Queen’s Talking Mirror
Rumpelstiltskin’s spinning wheel
Aladdin’s magic lamp
What fairy tale historical items would you like to see in “The Happily After Museum?”
I’d love to hear your ideas for our “Happily Ever After Museum!”

My latest princess story is no fairy tale:
It ain’t easy getting clean, even for a Princess…
Find out how Violetta copes on her road to sobriety in ROYAL DARE.
And as always, thank you to Sariah Wilson for creating this wonderful character in ROYAL DATE.
I fell in love with the Monterra family, especially Violetta. I call her the “misunderstood princess.” She has everything—looks, money and a title—yet she fell victim to the seductive power of drugs. Why? I wondered. What led her down this path?
I was intrigued t
o answer that question, but more importantly, I wanted to know what happened to Violetta when she went to rehab. How hard is it for a princess to get clean? And will she find her prince when she does?
I answer this question and more in my Kindle Worlds “The Royals of Monterra” story, ROYAL DARE.
I hope you enjoy it!

ROYAL DARE It ain’t easy getting clean. Even for a princess.
Limerick Day: The Princess and the Dragon
The Princess and the Dragon
There once was a princess so fair
Who was caught in the red dragon’s lair
Her drug of choice was meth
Which could only lead to death
So to rehab she went in Royal Dare.

Asking for help is the hardest thing for an addict. The shame, the embarrassment and potential consequences for admitting addition often steer them away from seeking treatment.

But it ain’t easy getting clean, even for a Princess…
