I have to admit, I often feel a little like Mia...no, this isn't secret confession time where I tell you I really AM a Princess ("a...a Princess? Shut Up!") No, I feel more like the awkward, insecure part of Mia Thermopolis.
I have to admit, I have both read some (not all) of the books that the movie is loosely based off of and seen the movie dozens of times. And in this case, I like the movie so much more. I guess it is because I can relate to the character in the movie, who is much less sure of herself and of her relationships with the people around her, than I can with the angry angsty teenager in the novels.
For anyone who has met me, I don't seem like a Mia Thermopolis on the surface. I am more loud and outgoing (kind of like Lily). But I still feel a lot like Mia. I struggle to know if a boy likes me, always wishing that the cutest ones would just walk right up and sweep me off my feet. I am probably missing a lot of Michael moments, missing times where someone totally unexpected is looking at me the same way I am looking at the Josh Bryants of the world.
One day I hope to be more like Mia is in Princess Diaries 2...but I guess that is a post for another day.
P.S. This is one of my favorite scenes. I am a firm believer in the knowledge that it sometimes takes someone else helping us see our beauty for us to see it ourselves. Sometimes a little makeover can go a long way in helping our inner beauty shine through.
