In addition to designer purses, Asian American princesses like to collect logo-licious shopping bags from expensive stores. My friend Vivian, a princess in Taiwan reports that many women there like to collect bags from Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Gucci, etc. Pretentious? Perhaps. However, this could really benefit the Earth. Americans use 10 billion paper bags a year. This equals 14 million trees. In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. So please, Princess, remember to bring your empty Prada paper bags when you hit the boutiques! Who says recycling can’t be chic?

This adorable picture is of Nicole “Nikki” Tai, a Seattle princess when she was five years old. I can’t believe she’s completely in the bag! Now grown-up, Nikki is an avid photographer. To see her work, check out her page on Zazzle.com. She’s got some pretty Asian-inspired cards there for sale.
