I swear it came to me in my sleep. I envisioned Patti with a vaguely French/European accent combing her hairless poodles wisps and telling 14 year old Mia princesses never chase men.

Or it’s just a series written for children and not 🍃 31 year old women searching for comfort in a piece of media from her childhood.

Luigi has serious Michael Moskowitz vibes btw.

Her best friend, who was staunchly anti-royalist until she started getting perks, picks up and drops causes like TikTok fast fashion trend cycles. Lilly’s parents are psycho-analysts who can afford an apartment on 5th Ave and whose patients all have absurd diagnoses/issues/trauma.

It revels in watching these people wallow in their privilege while doing nothing of consequence. Mia’s the leader of a country whose parliament can spend WEEKS to an argument about parking meters. Mia’s mom, whose bills are paid by her royal baby daddy, regularly FORGETS to pay the phone bill.

They all get so close to being socially conscious (by the standards of the early 2000s) before turning it into something ultimately self-serving. But the author, through Mia’s narration, seems to lean in and highlight how unserious these people are.
