Prinsessen! Prinsessen!


The upcoming Drawing Board subject is "Princess Princess."
Huh? Who or what is a "Princess Princess?"
I considered a tribute to the opera Salome. It's enchanting, dreamy, weird and disturbing.
Simplified Plot:
1. Princess Salome wants to kiss Jochanaan.
2. Jochanaan tells her to scram.
3. Salome demands (and gets) Jochanaan's head on a platter.
4. She kisses it. The king freaks out. He has her executed then and there. The end.
Then I googled "Princess Princess" and found it was a Japanese cartoon. There's a blonde, a redhead and a bluehead. No chickens (or severed heads), it seems.

  3. Thanks Linda and stray g.

    I actually borrowed precise hair colors from the Japanese characters. Rather this rates as "homage" or "rip off" I'm not sure.

I dislike typing the quasi-legible words too, but without them it's Spam City, Sorry!
