Introducing...

The Evil Queen Trumpalot

Born into a rich, golden tower, she grew up playing with Daddy's money. Over the years, as some businesses failed and others succeeded, she found that three key ingredients served her best: bullying, lying and dumb luck. She built an impressive looking business empire, yet money was not enough. She wanted fame. Her reality TV show was a ratings success, she married a European ex-male-model and became the darling of the daily tabloids. Now a wealthy celebrity, she hungered for power. Through bullying, lying and getting a lucky upper hand from Russia, she seized the throne. She now lives in a big white house, tweeting ruthlessly to the free world, focusing evermore on increasing her wealth, beauty and popularity.

Snowden White

Serving time for treason, Snowden White stifled boredom in prison by undergoing a sex-change. Recently pardoned by the late King O'Bamarama, the Evil Queen Trumpalot employed her as a 'senior advisor' so that she could be kept under close watch. In reality, she was little more than a servant. She continues her hormone treatment and, to the dismay of Queen Trumpalot, becomes more and more beautiful each day.

The Seven Short Mexicans

Greeny, Commy, Libby,

Geeky, Hippy, Femmi & Veggie

What these amigos might lack in stature, they more than make up for with their big ideals. Greeny is the defender of mother earth. Commy - in a nostalgic kind of way - just wants everyone to be treated fairly. Libby is a passionate believer of free speech. Geeky - a scientist on a quest for the truth. Hippy is a trendy pacifist, while Femmi supports equal rights for women. And Veggie - despite the occasional ridicule, rolling of eyes and dinner table groans - insists on eating a purely vegan diet.

Once upon a couple of months ago...

The Evil Queen Trumpalot was feeling pretty perky this Friday morning. The winter snow was thawing and warm sun beams radiated down from above, as if heaven almighty had created them just for her. Her belly was warm inside too, busily processing a full English breakfast which Hubby had lovingly arranged for her. He'd read about it in one of those men's magazines and just had to try it out. He didn't cook it himself, as they had kitchen staff to cook their meals, but he did instruct the cooks on how to lay out the food. It formed a remarkable likeness. 'Twas almost like looking in the mirror. A pool of baked beans formed the face, upon which lay a crusty bacon mouth, a sausage nose, two little beady black pudding eyes, two baked tomato eyebrows, two hash brown ears, and last but not least an oversized portion of fluffy yellow scrambled egg hair. Queen Trumpalot thought it was really great. Best breakfast ever.

Queen Trumpalot leaned back on her throne and reflected on the joyful first weeks of her reign. Things couldn't have been going better. She'd won the throne despite ridiculing a disabled reporter, inciting racism, bragging about sexual assault, and even receiving 3 million less votes than her rival. To top it off, the Austrian guy
