Unwrapped: Perfect Christmas Presents for Pop Princesses
Let’s face it; we all have at least on pop princess in our circle of friends and probably several in our families. Which means that they are more than likely expecting to be on our Christmas presents list, and they will be anticipating a fair bit of pampering? The pop princess is extremely easy to identify. The tell tale signs lie in her knowledge of the finer personal details of her diva of choice and the way she seems to know all her song lyrics backwards. But most of all, the dead giveaway is how this feisty wannabe portrays herself visually.
It’s all about image, those immaculately manicured nails, the perfect lip gloss, the ever changing hair colours and styles, the designer labels that are a must have. They are of paramount importance to the pop princess. Show me a girl who has never posed before her bedroom mirror, hairbrush poised to the lips as she struts her stuff and does her best to lip sync. In her own eyes she is Kylie, J-Lo, Beyonce and Britney all rolled into one. Of course, she is frequently located in the shower, performing backing vocals as they’ve never been sung before, enhanced by watery acoustics.
What she wants, what she really really wants is fame and fortune, recognition and celebrity. She’s heading for the top and expects success to fall in her lap any day now. But she knows she has to do it just right, and that means reinventing herself, over and over until she has achieved the ultimate image. To make her sparkle brighter than the Christmas tree lights, a Deluxe Glamour Makeover is pure indulgence, with the beauty works. She can look in the mirror and watch herself be transformed from a duckling to a swan, by a top hairstylist, makeup artist and photographer. She’ll even be given a CD of those photos to make all her friends green with envy, or even add to her promotional portfolio. And she can choose a lucky friend to accompany her to the half day pampering session, just to rub it in.
If you think this is not enough for the girl who wants everything and isn’t afraid to ask, you could send her off on a full day’s Star Style Transformation, offering not just a makeover but a total reinvention. She’s been waiting for this champagne reception all her life, and knows that every girl with her talent simply has to have a personal shopper to help her create that image that cannot fail to turn heads. And if she’s not yet decided whether her signature colour should be magenta or violet, there’s even a consultation with a colour coordinator who will advise her on what goes well with her skin tone, eye colour and possibly her pet pooch.
With the reinvention process neatly dealt with, she may feel in need of a little, or preferably considerably more than a little, pampering. Champneys Health Spa will massage her precious little toes and cover her with oils. A facial and body massage will help her relax after all that fantasising about stardom has left her feeling exhausted and drained, and after a lavish lunch she can work on improving her fabulous figure with a workout. Maybe the paparazzi are getting too demanding, in which case what better place to get away from it all and unwind than with a floatation session. There’ll be no cameras catching her unawares here.
The pop princess is yet to be discovered and may be wondering when she will ever be immortalised on vinyl, or whatever CDs are made of. Her dreams will come true when she finds herself in front of the microphone in an actual recording studio with assistance from a real live record producer and sound engineer, as she sings to her favourite backing track. Who knows, they may even offer her the multi million pound contracts she knows will eventually be hers. Of course she will want to be immortalised with her name in gold letters on a Hollywood Hall of Fame Star. And when all those phone calls start to come in from the rich and famous inviting her to a weekend in the South of France, or for just ordering pizza on her night off from her demanding A-list lifestyle, an electric pink Princess Telephone will complete her new persona perfectly.
Until she’s reached the heady heights of super stardom the pop princess need not rely solely on her imagination. She can see her name emblazoned on a rock guitar or across a glittering stage every day of the year with a Music Legend Calendar. Indulge her in her pop fantasy. One day, when she’s rubbing shoulders with the legends themselves, she will remember you and the Christmas presents that shone brighter than all the rest. She’s going to make it, definitely. Maybe.
