  • Parodied: The Princess's wardrobe is all pink, she paints herself pink every morning, and the entire castle is painted pink.
  • Deconstructed: The princess wearing nothing but pink makes other countries unable to take her diplomatic missions seriously, and because the princess refuses to change her outfit even on multiple requests, she causes breakdowns of long lasting alliances, leading to war.
