| Catherine |
Once upon a time a princess was born far far away in a very magical place. The princess had wavy blonde hair and sky blue eyes; her parents saw her and without hesitation named her Princess Catherine. Catherine lived far away from any other people and didn’t know what the rest of the world was like. Her parents said if she finished school she could choose any place in the world to go. So Princess Catherine went and finished all her elementary school, in which she learned her love for theatre. Next came middle school where she participated in every school play some of which was: Cinderella, Bye Bye Birdie, and the Music Man. Finally last,
but not least was high school where Princess Catherine just felt so at home. She was on stage, back stage, and also the president of the arts program and very active in her high school drama club. She did wonderful plays such as Blithe Spirit, Much Ado About Nothing and Dear Edwina. But after graduation the time came to move to anywhere her heart would take her. After a long hard decision Princess Catherine knew where she had to go? San Francisco State University! Her talent was recently acknowledged with a year-long scholarship to study the dramatic arts in England. She has since returned and will be graduating soon with a major in Theater.

| Karina |
| Once upon a time there was a young princess named Karina who was raised in a magical kingdom called San Jose, CA. Karina was always full of dreams and ambitions and had a love of trying new things. Her curiosity led her on a long journey to take as many different classes and activities as she could possibly take which included dance, theatre, music, modeling, cheerleading and more. However, out of all the things she saw and learned she discovered that the thing she was the most passionate about was education and people. So she put her thinking hat on, studied and studied, until the magical moment arrived when she finally graduated from San Francisco State University with her BA in Sociology. That was one of her biggest accomplishments in life and it was also when she realized that dreams do in fact come true. Soon after graduating she began working for a school district where she worked with different students including preschool, elementary and high school. She is currently working for an occupational school where she works with special education students in high school. She hopes to continue on to get her MA so that one day she can help students live out their dreams. Karina loves working for Dreamstar Parties because she truly enjoys entertaining, making children smile and providing them with memories that will last a lifetime. |

| Michelle |
Princess Michelle’s tale begins unlike many others.They say the wolves howled endlessly and the moon was icy blue one night. They say the trees rustled
and told every small creature to scurry back home and hide under the covers. Yes, this was a magical night indeed…the night Michelle sprang forth
from the depths of a tree that was the heart of the forbidden forest, the tallest and wisest of sycamore trees which all animals sought for answers.
No one but the forest animals know much of this princess besides what they had heard…that she could move like a mongoose, eat like a bear, and out-laugh
any creature. They also heard that between skipping rocks and basket weaving underwater, she has a B.A. in Feminist Studies from UCSC and loves to
teach and play with kids. There was also something about a passion for Rugby, social justice, chunky peanut butter, and hot wings. Count your lucky stars if you ever catch
a full glimpse of her..hint: look at the end of a rainbow! |
