Oh You FANCY Nancy Huh?!

Sorry to all my readers who aren't Drake fans (he has a song titled "Fancy"). But, I couldn't resist the title. The song works perfectly for this character...if she were an adult.

In my not-so-grown-up world, also known as dress-up and pretend, there are things like feathers, jewelry, lip gloss, etc. All the elements that come with having a little girl in your life. Mariah, my god daughter, adores everything girly (but she can hang with the boys too). Whenever I put on lip gloss, she's right there beside me asking for a dab or two to "fancy" her lips as well. She's a real princess.

So, do you have a Fancy Nancy in your life? I'm sure you have to know someone who exudes confidence inside and out, likes to have fun, and has a colorful personality. If not, visit the site to discover just who she is.
