Over at TheLi.st, Glynnis MacNicol surveys the "girls toys section" of today's stores and asks: Where the fuck is Princess Leia?
I think it's safe to say that while my love of Princess Leia may have been on the more extreme side it was not all that unusual for girls my age at the time. And as far as girlhood obsessions that turn into grown-up life lessons go it was hard to beat: Take charge, be brave, be loyal, have nice hair, and strangle to death the monster who forces you to wear an inappropriate bikini.
"Where the Fuck Is Princess Leia?: Help me, multi-gazillion dollar toy industry, you're my only hope." (TheLi.st)
