Sitting in a colorful bright dungeon Barbie Wire, wore a thorny crown spinning a biblical plot line warning anyone touching it, will bleed, hacked away at a keyboard. Reaching the Daily Nail newsfeed, an infamous tabloid periodical covering all the kingdom’s fantasies, the famed figurehead digested the royal engagement display.

“This cannot be true! Matilda Robme had no business there,”

Seeing Janey Pressme’s column post made the devious dame perform an underhanded artistic surgical procedure. Using the proofreading word processing access code information, she swindled playing with one-time boy toy who copied editing, the tempting tease obtained the follow up report before it reached the reader.

“Wow, his assistant told the press he proposed last night while canoodling,” Barbie Wire mumbled, “let’s see I will just change the name on the electronic page from Matilda Robme to Barbie Wire, add an innocent correction that yesterday’s rumors were wrong, and the true fiancé is me.”

Early the next morning Barbie woke and stared at the prop ring, hearing on television, “Barbie Wire stole the royal's heart having fun and I must say, Matilda your name is Robme and that alone makes good print.”
