You know, sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

Take this princess for example:

“Hey, Princess! It’s me, Prince Philip. I could slay that Dragon for you . . . with my HANDSOMENESS.”

“Hey Philip, does this sound like a phone hanging up?”

Here is a prime example of a little lady rolling with the punches and doing things her way, right? I mean, sure, it’s a little heavy on the side of chivalry-goes-out-the-window (which is NOT my stance) . . . but Philip sounded like a (forgive the word) douche. I’m glad she went all hard-core and started that band at the end instead of being swept away by a douche-in-shining-armor. Go princess, right? Way to take a rough situation and come out on top because you don’t do what’s anticipated and just try to fix everything via prince.

This innovative musical tale reminded me of an expression. You know the one. . .

And if Wicked Witches can be Drummers . . . well, don’t settle for lemonade to help your problems. Lemonade is the douche-bag option in this scenario. Since there are many wonderful concepts out there which go above and beyond lemonade, I have decided to share just a few, for inspirational reasons.
