July Condition of the Month – Goodbye to Spring

Summer is here! And so is our favorite time of the month when all four of us come together to discuss the same topic. This Monthly Condition post is more of a survey than a question, asking each of us princesses a few questions about […]

How I Barely Survived a Czech Wedding

So, a couple of months ago Sleeping Booty posted about her experiences at a Morman wedding.  Now I want to complement that with a post about another wedding- in the Czech Republic!  Percival’s friend Tomas (pronounced To-ma-jzsh) was getting married and he wanted Percival to […]

Never Been Kissed

So, ladies and gentlemen of the internet world, I have a confession to make.  I am 23, and I have never been kissed.  Is this weird?  Isn’t that something that is supposed that happen to you when you are sixteen?  If not before?  Somehow ‘sweet […]

Meeting your Hero

So, you know that BBC series Merlin?  And you know that guy who plays Gwaine?  And you think he is the most attractive man to walk the planet, playing the most chivalrous  Arthurian character to grace the pages of Malory?  No?   Well, me either.  But […]

May–Condition Of The Month

This month the naughty princesses were asked about the words they live by. When you’re going through the twenty something condition–what are the thoughts that keep you going? What is your Motto for this stage of your life, and how is it helping you get […]

Back Off and Leave my Otium Alone!

Lately, several people have mentioned to me that I need to ‘get involved’ with different activities, and it has really started to bug me.  To give just one example, about a week ago, another graduate student I know was pressuring me to join the organizing […]

Love Letters: Lady Mareena Chapter Four

It is has been a while since I last wrote a Lady Mareena post, and, due to several circumstances in my life, I feel like that time has come again.  I was hesitant about posting this, not least because I fear the judgement not only […]

Condition of the Month–April

What’s life without a little give and take? Part of being a twenty-something is having to exchange some of the perks of childhood for the rewards of adult life. So here’s what the Naughty Princesses have to say about what they’ve lost, what they’ve gained, […]

War and Peace Revisited

So, when I was a junior in high school, I read War and Peace.  At the time it took me less than a month to conquer this 1,400-page, giant beast of Russian literature.   And, although, I have always been a re-reader (most of my favourite […]

All Your Stressing is Stressing Me Out!

As you know if you follow our blog at least a little bit, I go to graduate school— why, because I post about it all the time, that’s why.  Well, as a matter of course, many of my friends (excepting three of naughty princesses, obviously!) […]

March Condition of the Month – We are Princesses

Naughty Princesses Assemble! We’ve been at this whole blogging thing for a few months now (so far so good??) and I figured it was time you folks learned a bit more about the four of us and why we go by the pseudonyms we do! […]

Stuck on Rewind

So. I am not sure if you all remember but the last time I posted about, well, guys was the rather intense Lady Mareena Encounters Even Worse Troubles.  That chapter did, I believe, prove that Lady Mareena’s story is well named.  Of course, you got […]
