She was proper and polite and always wore
the same purple gown with gold twine stitch in it. She was
very calm, and her kingdom adored her sensibility and tranquility,
even though her taste in fashion was quite boring and a
bit passé.
King Joe was your ordinary King. A stout,
short King who was balding on his head. He was wise and
full of joy for his kingdom. Kind Joe wore robes of red
velvet with fur trimming, which had gone out of style centuries
ago.
Queen Eucretia remembered once when Princess Gertrude wanted
to make her over.
"Please mommy, if you really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really loved me you would let me
put a little harmless makeup on you," Gertrude whined.
"Of course I love you darling; okay!
Do your magic!" Secretly the queen was very worried
and skeptical.
Gertrude started with a Blood-Red lipstick
to bring out the thick, raven black hair the queen had.
Next, she changed the color of the queen's dress to a tangerine
and fuchsia gown. Her hair was then cut into a sporty bob.
The queen thought this new look was quite in style and loved
it!
"I look so funky, so cool, so hip, so
fantastique," the queen cooed. "This is just splendid,
Gertrude, my darling! I look as stylish as the queen of
France!"
Queen Eucretia also started to wear pink miniskirts
and black patent leather boots. With her confidence reestablished,
Gertrude also did a makeover on her father, King Joe.
