Dolled up and ready to go by her fairy godfather, Cinderella looked gorgeous. Her nails were manicured, her mascara tastefully done, her hair streaked with blue and green and her cheeks blushing with rouge. Her dress was sparkling pink and emphasized her tiny waist and youthful bosom.
The stepsisters were beautifully dressed as well, but nothing could hide their ugly features. They rode together to the ball, exchanging sneers but anxious to meet the Prince. To Cinderella’s surprise, Prince Charming was as ugly as her stepsisters. He had accumulated all the grotesqueries of royal inbreeding.
For the stepsisters, this was a magical revelation, and they were a magical revelation to His Royal Highness. He married the older one and kept the younger one as his mistress. Cinderella met a minor duke at the ball, married him and settled for a small castle in the suburbs. She had two ordinary children, but in a twist of genetic fate, the children of the Prince and the stepsisters were girls more beautiful even than Cinderella.
