A 26-year-old woman from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province who calls herself "Princess Annie" has posted a want ad on the Internet seeking a "deputy mom" to keep house and take care of her daily life.
In exchange for room and board, the faux mother is expected to perform all the housework, wake the princess up on time every morning and posses some acting skills.
"The applicant should accompany me during breakfast every day and cheer me up by pretending to be in high spirits¡" her highness wrote.
"Princess Annie must have been seriously spoiled," commented one online critic.
The princess also requires her perfect fake mom to be no older than 28. "I don't want any generation gap," she explained.

A masked backpack snatcher in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province was nabbed recently when his victim, a young woman surnamed Yang noticed that he reeked of hotpot.
As her backpack was ripped from her as she and her boyfriend were walking on a dark street, Yang couldn't see the masked thief's face, but she noted his clothes and most of all his odor was familiar.
"He smelled like a restaurant," she told police after the robbery. "Like hotpot ingredients¡"
With this clue, police began scouring nearby hotpot restaurants, and found the thief, a hotpot waiter who is now eating prison rations.

Nightclub bosses in Poland have been nicked for using pictures of Adolf Hitler to promote their bar.
Sklot rock club in Warsaw doctored a picture of the Nazi leader wearing sunglasses above a Third Reich eagle for posters plugging the club's party nights.
Now the owners are facing two years in prison for promoting fascism, strictly illegal in Poland which was occupied by German troops in World War II.
"The content of this poster which uses images to promote fascism is a crime," said a representative from Warsaw's prosecutor's office.
But club bosses say the row has been blown out of all proportion.
"The idea is that Hitler isn't happy with the condition of Warsaw clubs so he plans to invade and make them better, It's just a bit of fun" said a club spokesperson. |
