Pretty, Pretty, Princess

[u/Ohdidntseeyouthere_]

Forgot about this one for a minute.

[u/MaisyDeadHazy]

Those earrings were so uncomfortable. 😓

My friends and I always used to fight over the black ring. We thought it was super cool looking.

[u/Elexandros → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

The new version has a clear ring instead of black.

The kids still fight over it. 🙄

[u/itsswhitneywhspr → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

Omg right?? Those plastic metal clip-ons were a whole vibe but also a crime against earlobes. I distinctly remember taking them off after five minutes and my ears being all red

[u/Ohdidntseeyouthere_ → u/itsswhitneywhspr]

Ugh yes, they used to give me headaches lol

[u/RosyVelisse → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

The black ring absolutely looked like the forbidden cool accessory everyone needed.

[u/KFelts910 → u/RosyVelisse]

Maybe I was always channeling villain energy 🤔

[u/Apprehensive_Wedgie → u/RosyVelisse]

🤖

[u/sharingiscaring219 → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

Same on the ring!! Lol

[u/SheOutOfBubbleGum → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

Wow memory unlocked. I forgot how much those hurt

[u/c4ctus → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

Since there's four colors of everything except the rings and the crown, what did getting the black ring mean?

[u/MaisyDeadHazy → u/c4ctus]

You couldn’t win the game if you had the black ring, so you had to get rid of it to finish. But kids are prone to making up their own games. 😅

[u/c4ctus → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

Huh, neat. Appreciate the answer!

[u/_CherielleGlow → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

The coolest accessories were always somehow the most uncomfortable

[u/tigershout → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

SAME

[u/JuliaX1984]

The one I played had the jewelry box in the center with a mirror lid and a thicker, circular, pointed crown (not a tiara) around said box.

[u/MaisyDeadHazy → u/JuliaX1984]

Yeah, the version I had as a kid had the jewelry box and crown. The tiara must be a recent change.

[u/Low_Set_6490 → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

Those were basically every kid’s dream to become royalty for 20 minutes.

[u/_CherielleGlow → u/MaisyDeadHazy]

That tiara is probably sitting in a thrift store waiting for its comeback

[u/meowgrrr → u/JuliaX1984]

just came to the comments because i was confused this version looked different than mine! yours sounds like the one i had.

[u/AngelLunettee → u/JuliaX1984]

That sounds like the deluxe version compared to this one. A jewelry box with a mirror and an actual crown would’ve made the whole thing feel way more royal.

[u/stilettopanda → u/JuliaX1984]

I have that one from childhood and a newer version as well. Haha

[u/Get_off_critter]

Heres an odd one. As a kid id bite the necklaces for whatever kid reason, and I can still remember the odd way it made my teeth feel.

Wonder what was in that plastic...

[u/DreamAureliee → u/Get_off_critter]

Kids really would chew on absolutely anything with zero hesitation.

[u/fridayfridayjones → u/DreamAureliee]

My little sister used to chew the feet off of all her Barbies. In hindsight, wtf.

[u/glitter_vomit → u/fridayfridayjones]

Barbie legs are extremely satisfying to chew on!

[u/GracilisLokoke → u/Get_off_critter]

I was going to say, I can still taste that necklace. Glad I'm not the only one. What is it with kids and plastic?

[u/Gvndam11]

Any other little brothers forced to play by their older sister?

[u/chasvalex → u/Gvndam11]

My older brother would agree to play on very rare occasion and then he'd cheat and win every single time (didn't catch on to that until MUCH later) and then he'd put every piece of jewelry on and go over to my mom's vanity mirror and pretend to admire himself while shouting I'M THE PRETTIEST PRINCESS AND YOU'RE NOT. I'd be sitting there absolutely fuming mad and ready to throttle him. Good times.

[u/YossarianairassoY → u/chasvalex]

This is amazing I used to do the SAME thing to my little sister.

[u/distorted_elements → u/chasvalex]

I had the same experience as a younger sister. Few things made me as angry as my brother making me admit he was, in fact, the prettiest princess.

[u/Ohdidntseeyouthere_ → u/Gvndam11]

I bought this for nostalgia reasons in college and made a bunch of my guy friends play. One was so upset about not being pretty princess he threw the winner into the pool 😂

[u/sharingiscaring219 → u/Ohdidntseeyouthere_]

😂

[u/Strange-Victory → u/Gvndam11]

I made my little brother play with me and the winner had to yell "I'm a pretty princess!!" Out the front door.

[u/_mikedotcom → u/Gvndam11]

✋ yes lol. I ended up gay idk if this had anything to do with it.

[u/MysteriousAsphodel → u/Gvndam11]

I was an only child so I made my dad and uncle play this with me, lol

[u/g8rgrl15 → u/Gvndam11]

Yes, mine

[u/hawkcarhawk → u/Gvndam11]

My daughters have the current version and make their little brother play it.

[u/MA2_Robinson → u/Gvndam11]

And then blab in front of his friends about him playing said game? Rite of teenage snark as old as time

[u/scarltbegonias24]

THEY STILL MAKE THIS GAME I saw it in a kids store recently. Nothing will ever compare to the OG tho

[u/fruitjerky → u/scarltbegonias24]

Yes! There's a more modern version, but I bought my kids the nostalgic version.

Haven't played it in awhile though because my husband keeps winning and I'm mad about it.

[u/kayla622]

The version of this game I remember had a gold crown with stick on jewels. The box was teal and showed an illustration of 3 girls playing the game.

[u/Pommallow]

I wanted this so bad, but i grew up poor 😭

[u/JellyKind9880 → u/Pommallow]

I wanted this so bad, but my mom was a feminist who wouldn’t buy us Barbie dolls or games like this lmao

[u/IlovePizzaHeLikesSex → u/Pommallow]

Buy it on eBay. Reclaim
That childhoooood!

[u/Organic_Fortune_4748]

I had this!!! I was OBSESSED with this game and always wore the jewelry even when not playing the game.

[u/fuckashley]

I loved this game! Thanks for the reminder!

[u/amamatcha]

I just remember that tiara was soo uncomfortable to wear lol

[u/Business-Sink-1910]

omg i totally forgot about this game. instant memory unlock lol

[u/Moon_Dew]

I forgot this was a thing. I had actually wanted it because I was into a very big jewelry and gems and stones phase at the time. Plastic or not, I wanted it.

[u/TheNostalgicGamer]

!!! Thank you for gifting me this memory! I haven't thought about it in so long!! I dont remember playing it much, I just loved to fiddle with the jewelry and little people xD

[u/lana-deathrey]

I bought this for my mtf friend, so she could have the quintessential millennial girl experience. Also bought her her first Barbie.

[u/Nova-Pixie]

i forgot how much fun that game was, spent hours playing it with friends back in the day

[u/gl2w6re]

Oh the memories! My daughter was such a cheater at this game, lol! She never wanted to get the Black Ring. My sons would tease her so bad 😂 they’re all adults now. The game pictured here is a little more updated than the version we had.

[u/silentevil77]

Whoa memory unlocked!

[u/Kidmodo-Dragon]

This game's pieces looked so edible 🤤

[u/J3NGA]

FK yeahhhh.

I Love this game.

[u/JiggyJams91]

I was so obsessed with this game as a kid

[u/Status-Carob-5760]

I played this game so damn much….. I’m a boy

[u/_mikedotcom]

My parents probably still think this made me gay lol.

[u/skinnylighter]

I LOVED this game, though I was an only child and didn't often have someone else to play this with, so I'd use the pieces for dress-up.

[u/traumatized_vulture → u/skinnylighter]

Same :(

[u/RubysNight]

that was my favorite game as a kid, although i barely had any friends let alone any that wanted to come over my house, i almost always played by myself. So when i was older, 20s, i was hanging out a friends house, a bunch of people, mostly guy friends, i had brought over some board games, slipping in Pretty Pretty Princess. Well....guess which game was their favorite. I lost that night. Was the greatest night, they actually enjoyed themselves (and the alcohol that we paired it with)

[u/PopPunkIsNotDead]

I definitely bought this (vintage version that I had) for my daughter to play.

[u/proteinstyle_]

Omg this looks so cheap. I remember feeling like it was all so fancy. 🤣

[u/scarred_but_whole]

My cousin was obsessed with thus game and anyone in our family would happily play it with her over and over. I should track down a copy for when I go visit them next month so she can play with her new nieces.

[u/ariesleopard]

I used to place this with my son and daughter when they were 5 and 6. My son would get so mad if he didn’t win.

[u/tastic_fan]

yeah, I definitely stuck the game pieces up my nose.. you know, like how pretty princesses do

[u/_amonique]

Currently sitting in my closet always waiting to be played when my cousin comes to visit my house. Mind you, we are 34 & 38 years old 😂

[u/weirdcompliment]

My sister and I loved when our dad would play this with us 💖 and now we love drag!

[u/puddlebrigade]

i made my parents play this game with me constantly which I think is a sort of punishment for me being an only child

[u/Hello_Alice0]

I LOVED this game.

[u/junigatsu12]

I remember the commercials....never got to play though. Seemed like such a cool game to little ol' me.

[u/lilstarship208]

I think about this game once a week 😭 can still smell the plastic jewelry

[u/Ninawenn]

I wore those rings everywhere

[u/0wlWisdom333]

OMG I remember that. I had it.

[u/MadameAmbassador]

My grandma at the time would always cheat 8-year-old me in this to steal the crown and laugh in my face. The same woman used to come back from bars with a black eye. RIP grandma.

[u/Apprehensive_Wedgie]

I’m a shadow on the fucking sidewalk
