'Revolutionary Grrl Utena':
"Once upon a time, in the mid-eighties... There was a little princess, and she was very sad, for her mother and father were yuppies, dead from the neck up. Before the princess appeared a traveling punk rocker riding a beat-up van. He had a menacing bearing and a clothespin piercing one ear. The punk wrapped the princess in an embrace that smelled of cheap beer and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.
'Little one,' he said, 'who bears up under such lame parents. Stay hardcore, even when you grow up! I give you this to remember this day. We will meet again. This nose ring will lead you to me, one day.'
'Know where I could score some meth?'
Perhaps the nose ring the prince gave her was an engagement ring. This was all well and good, but so impressed was she by him that the princess vowed to become a punk rocker herself one day. But was that really such a good idea?"
