"My favorite CD right now is the latest Britney Spears, which I know is kinda dork, and I could never tell Lilly, but secretly I sort of want to be Britney Spears. Once I had a dream Iwas Britney, and I was performing in the auditorium at Albert Einstein and I had this little pink minidress on, and Josh Ritcher complimented me on it right before I went onstage. Isn't that an embarrassing thing to admit? The funny thing is while I know I could never tell Lilly about that without her going all Freudian on me and telling me how the pink dress is a phallic symbol and and being Britney signifies my low self esteem."
But in the Princess Diaries Collection (1 - 3 in one book) they have removed the Britney references from that paragraph (they did forget one).

They have this on page 167 - 168:
"My favorite CD right now is the latest Hillary Duff, which I know is kinda dork, and I could never tell Lilly, but secretly I sort of want to be Hillary Duff.

I really hate when publishers modernize things. Meg Cabot isn't even out of date. Neither is Britney Spears. They didn't even do a good job (the next page it's Britney again). This is really upsetting.
Not sure whether this bothers anyone else or it's just my pet peeve.
They didn't!
ReplyDeleteI really don't know why they modernized it from Britney Spears to Hillary Duff anyways because, no offense, Hillary Duff isn't really popular right now.
Nice job catching that!
If you are going to do see it through at least. Do they think readers don't notice that kind of thing?
ReplyDeleteIryna: I definitely agree. Thats Britney's spot ^_^
ReplyDeleteChristina: I don't know, but I emailed them ^_^ wont do much but they really shouldn't do that.
That's dumb! I haven't seen the Princess Diaries Collection, but if I read that part, it would definitely annoy me.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they dont get Judy Blume <3
ReplyDeleteGood catch. It sure is distracting to see such obvious mistakes. I prefer the Britney references instead of Hillary.
ReplyDeleteI also prefer Britney ^_^
ReplyDeleteWow! Way to go!
