No Touchy

Fact: Even though Prince William and his adorable red headed brother Prince Harry are the subject of many school girl fantasies they are NOT the only royal families out there. In fact there are 23 countries around the world that still maintain a monarchy defined by the CIA factbook as "a government in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of a monarch who reigns over a state or territory usually for life and by hereditary right with constitutionally limited authority." So ladies don’t fret William may no longer be available but you can still be a princess…I hear the prince of Bhutan is quite the catch!

Filmmakers and authors alike have managed to create some pretty evil/creepy characters: Sue Sylvester, Lemony Snickett, Barney (more creepy than evil), Glenn Beck (oh wait he's real...damn), the list could go on but I've always been most spooked by the notorious Yzma.

She is a hilariously relentless villain from Disney's Emperors New Groove who doesn't just act like an old and bitter maniac she looks like one too. From her awkwardly pointy features to her long and stringy lashes back down (far down) to her droopy boobs, she resembles my high school health teacher: age 13,023,472,838 …now that is scary. Everything about her screams intimidating from her evil lair containing vials of llama extract to her Lady Gaga like wardrobe with inexplicably lavish accessories she is the epitome of villain. I particularly like her abusive and manipulative nature towards Krunk, her less than apt henchman who can't seem to think for himself. It's his blunders and Yzma's not quite royal status that drive her crazy ways.
Her words not mine:
Yzma: It is no concern of mine whether or not your family has... what was it again?
Peasant: Umm... food?
Yzma: Ha! You really should have thought of that before you became peasants!
