51: The Princess Who Never Smiled

Summary: This week, Carlea tells a story about a princess who really doesn't feel like smiling, thank you very much. Everyone goes to great lengths to get a little smile out of her, but maybe she just isn't in the mood, OK? Maybe that's just how her face looks. Women don't always have to be happy, you know. Even princesses can't be expected to be smiling all the time. Jeez. Audio engineering provided by Aaron Crossland. You can listen to his band, F. LaRocque, at https://flarocque.bandcamp.com.
