Hello Subjects!
I have recently had the honor of being elected your princess. Now, in the true spirit of monarchy, you had no choice but to vote for me, as I was both uncontested and a required field in the voting form, but I still really appreciate your support.
Being a princess is not easy. Even though I knew early on that I was basically guaranteed the position, I didn’t want to take it for granted. I decided to campaign despite the fact that I was uncontested. To do this, I needed to make a poster.
The best way to make a poster in my opinion –which is always right, because I’m a princess– is through the use of Photoshop. Unfortunately, I don’t have Photoshop, and the minute-long walk to the library from my dorm is simply too much. Valiantly, I went door to door through my hall, until I found someone willing to lend me a computer with Photoshop on it. (Shout out to my loyal subject Daphne who made my beautiful campaign art possible!) Then, I spent over an hour creating my splendiferous poster.
Finally, I finished it and posted it to the Prom Facebook event page. Alas, my campaign didn’t seem to be going so well; I only received nine “likes.” I did the only thing I could at that point: wait (and threaten Matt Rohr, the organizer of Prom).
My efforts paid off. I was crowned Prom Princess. In honor of my new title, I was given an orange balloon to tend to throughout the night. In my acceptance speech, I embraced the charitable nature of royalty and devoted my speech to a cause I feel very fondly of: the endangered unicorns. I think my speech went well, but I’m still not sure if my subjects really listened, and that hurts.
Nevertheless, I refused to give up on my other responsibilities. I danced the night away, attempting to embody the prom spirit. Periodically, in the midst of my wild thrashing and jumping and whipping and naenaeing, I would conserve a small amount of air and inflate the orange balloon.
It was a long exhausting night, but I fulfilled my duties. I am proud to be your Prom Princess.
Sincerely,
Prom Princess’ Coronation Dance
Her Royal Highness Quinn Kanner, Princess of Prom
