The Princess needs no adornments

I always figured if I met the Princess, I'd like her. She took up with Franco Knie, the elephant trainer, who was married at the time. Later, she married Adans Lopez Peres, an acrobat. These associations lasted about a year each, but she joined out and that makes her Showfolks to me. Long live the Princess.
