Because apparently even grown women who aren’t named Mariah Carey have fantasies about being princesses, Caress gives the longing a chance to star in their own fairy tales.

The website, meant perhaps for yoga mamas still squeezing their own toes into kids’ ballerina flats, includes capabilities for creating Prince Charming as well as Harlequin Romance-style videos about ingenues who turn combative burlies into relationship trophies. Don’t forget to catch the one about the career chick who learns there’s more to life than business. (Whether that lesson leads back to true love or soap remains a mystery.)

In a previous life we may have lounged around concocting princesses while swathing ourselves in fragrant sodium laureth sulfate, but frankly we don’t have to. We already know we’re the best princess of all. Vera Wang said so when they tried this same approach.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
