What would it be like to be Erica Baxter or Princess Mary?

What would it be like to be Erica Baxter or Princess Mary?
How come some women get struck with the Lucky Stick, while others of us are stuck to a life of being mere mortals?
I’m planning a wedding in a week, but try, 50 guests and a long Sunday lunch for dining (my choice, of course, to make it low-key and not the full Italian affair, but STILL…) It’s hardly the French Riveria, I’ll admit. And, I’m not exactly wearing a million-dollar designer gown. Try off-the-rack for around $1200. Stylish – ahem, without the pricetag.
Still, I could see myself swanning about Monaco in another life; my hubby also owning a cruiser or inhabiting a castle. I can see my-fantasy-self at a top-notch New Year’s Eve party, where the guests mill about in only black and white costumes (as per the strict but uber chic dress code) and a view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge – or any famed bridge, for that matter – seen from the penthouse apartment’s windows, with fireworks, of course, ablaze on the coat hanger of a bridge.

But, am I - like many others - kidding myself into thinking that One Day (soon, hopefully) all of my childhood fantasies will come to fruition? Even, if only for a fleeting moment. Days, maybe mere months, of purely Living It Up.
Or, will I grow instead to be content surviving on just the crumbs of the Good Life - reading about all the goings-on of the rich and famous in the glossies and tabloids (hello Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and, of course, Paris)? Being super-rich and glam surely can’t always be rosy if all the meaner pics of the celebs are anything to go by – the zitty/hung-over/cellulite/lov escorned/about-to-be-imprison ed type pics. Still, I’m sure we’d all happily pose for the paparazzi for just a day, let them roll out the red carpet a few times, pop the cork of a $1000 bottle of champagne just for the heck of it, party at the Playboy mansion – even make the worst dressed list, for a mere slice of the good life.

I wonder, I wonder… if I will ever get to taste that yummy pie? Or if I will look back with rose-tinted glasses at my less glam but more wholesome life, with a loving partner and future family supporting me and a satisfying enough career? I wonder…
