Sometimes we all need a fairytale. But once you've stepped out of childhood and into the world of hangovers, STD tests, and tax season, sickly-sweet fantasy worlds can lose their charm a little. There's always a place for the Cinderellas and the…

Fairy tales often get a bad rap, but fairy tale princesses get the worst rap of them all. Perhaps, though, the reputation is unfairly earned — because although they’re often thought of as “damsels in distress,” fairy tale princesses are actually…
